- Convenient for travel of emergency use

Besides the excellent design, there is space inside the base to store a couple of personal items, like a wallet, keys, etc.

But the best part is certainly the 12 connectors that offer the possibility to charge a high number of gadgets, such as cellphones, smartphones, and mp3 players. In terms of specific brands, it is compatible with Nokia, Samsung, LG, SonyEricsson, Audiovox, and some Apple products.

The BlueLounge Multi-device Charging Tray costs $129.

One of the most important details on the FreeLoader is being compatible with a high number of gadgets, like different brands of cellphones – LG, Nokia, Samsung, SonyEricsson, Motorola – and also gaming systems like Sony PSP, or GPS systems from TomTom, iPods, smartphones, digital cameras, and more.

Since the FreeLoader 8.0 has an internal battery, it can recharge itself and other devices at the same time.

It costs £30 (close to $60) and is available in pink and silver.

It is also conveniently mobile, boasting a durable casing for hard-core mobility and the ability to fold into a stylish minimal device that can easily be slipped into a pocket or handbag.

The USB Battery Charger works as any other battery charger, but instead of plugging it into the wall socket you need to connect it to your computer via USB. It can handle 2 or 4 batteries, be it AA or AAA sizes, Ni-MH or Ni-CD batteries – it will charge and charge and charge…

In case you are interested to give new energy to some batteries and don’t have/don’t want to buy an expensive charger, there is a cheap option which costs $15 at GadgetWorld.

IF you have a car, a PSP, and want to have battery all the time, Nyko started shipping the Power Tuner for PSP which might interest you.

It works as a charger using the car lighter, and also as an audio transmitter – so you can listen to movies, music and game audio through the car stereo.

Comes with a 4-foot (120cm) cable, so when the PSP is charging you won’t have to be located on top of the car lighter.

Use your iPod all day long? Battery life is always lacking? Can’t spend a moment without the player? If the answer to the 3 questions is yes, then I’ve got the perfect device to suit your needs.

The iSuperCharger is capable of charging any iPod, by using 4 different methods: USB, car lighter, wall outlet, and 9W battery.

Take note:

• All the “wires” – talking about the USB and iPod connector – can be detached from the charger, making it smaller (14cm X 4.8cm) and more compact. Easier to carry around.
• Works with all iPod generations
• Only available on the internet, at THPSales. Price: $40 + $5 of shipping

By using the power of vehicles there is a nice way to generate electricity, it’s the Electro-Kinetic Road Ramp, an idea by HughesResearch.

How it works:

The Ramp operates by virtue of a number of articulated plates placed in the road. When vehicles weight is exerted on the plates they are moved up and down and by means of a specially designed and developed mechanism, a generator is driven, which is capable of producing AC current at 50 cycles or DC current.

I could see this used in many places, not only in certain areas of Africa where electricity is “rare”, but also in other developed countries to save some money.

According to UberGizmo:

Representatives have laid claim that these leaked pictures of the power supply is just a prototype, but it could just be a lame attempt at minimizing the potential damage.

I guess external power supplies serve a few different purposes, like keeping the size of the units small, keeping them cool and internationally friendly by being able to have different power supplies for different countries, but the size of that thing is just rediculous. Lets hope the production ones are a little more compact.
