Pocket Power Offers AC and USB Charging for Mobile Devices
Posted by Paul Martin in "HARDWARE" @ 05:10 AM
"Compact and lightweight, the Pocket Power is a portable, rechargeable battery pack that provides power on the go for today's busy lifestyle. With 20 watts to power/recharge AC and USB devices, you never have to worry about being slowed down to power up from a wall outlet again. Pocket Power powers/recharges personal electronics simultaneously. It features:
• 120V AC and USB charging port
• Rechargeable Ni-MH battery using AC adapter
• Battery status LED lets you know the condition of the battery
• Provides up to 6 hours of extended runtime (runtime varies depending on type of device)"
Since Pocket Power includes both AC and USB charging, you shouldn't have to keep up with various adapter tips to fit your devices. It costs about $50 and is exclusive to Sam's Club so if you don't have a membership, either find someone who does or get a one-day pass, which requires a small surcharge on purchases. So far, I've just tried to stock an extra battery for my camera and Pocket PC when I'll be away from AC power, but the ability to charge anything would be very handy! Do you often find yourself running low on battery life for your mobile devices and if so, would it be worth the $50 to you?
