I saw BlackBerry redesigned their charger into a nice small device, Apple like. I have several small USB wall chargers that have come with my iPod Touch, Amazon Kindle, HTC Incredible, and various other devices. Just as I was getting excited about this charger I remembered AT&T had announced the Zero Charger months ago the was coming to market. While the current chargers on the market are nice and the one from RIM looks great I think for the price I am going with the AT&T charger. [click to continue…]

As you will know, if you have followed my posts, I have been on a quest to find the very best bang for the buck (and ounce!) in portable battery power. Rod and I started looking at units in the $60-$100 range that provide 2500, 3400, 6000 and even 8000 mAh of power. This all seems great, but thanks to a fabulous tip from a colleague in San Antonio, I think I have found the ultimate battery out there, at least for now! How about 18000 mAh’s of battery?

The other day my son came home from college and was asking me if I knew about the new charging thing that was wireless. I laughed and said that thing is the Powermat. I told him that I had looked at it but it is not ready for prime time as far as I am concerned. The reality is, this concept is what we have been dreaming about since we were kids. And looks like the guys over at Powermat were able to make it come true. The Powermat is 99.99 both from Best Buy and Powermat.com. The bottom line is this technology has to be built into devices!
