If you can’t exist without the weight of several handheld gaming systems tugging at your pants, Brando has a new product that will make your downtime a little easier: the 7-in-1 USB charge cable. With this cable, you can use one USB slot to charge any Sony PSP or Nintendo GBA, as well as all models of the Nintendo DS. And, in a pinch, it might even serve as a belt, if you are very small.
Brando even prepared a helpful diagram, as though you couldn’t figure out which cable matched its gaming system. What they don’t tell us is whether or not you can plug them all in at once. You know you want to, but the result might form into our new gaming robot overlord and seize control of the universe. Who wants to risk that?
But then again, the cable’s only $7.00, so it might just explode, taking all your devices (and your computer) with it.

Sony’s PS3 SIXAXIS and Dual Shock 3 controllers being wireless, are going to need a charge after awhile. That’s why Sony has their own AC adapter for both controllers, for almost $30, available starting December 18th. With the AC adapter, you’ll get a few USB ports, allowing you to charge up to two controllers at the same time. We don’t know if this is going to show up outside of Japan or not, but we hope so. It’s better then leaving your PS3 powered up all night.

Imagine never having to charge your phone from an outlet ever again. It sounds too good to be true, but it may happen sooner then you think. No one likes to recharge their phone every day. And after you charge it, the battery slowly loses power as you go about your day.
Thanks to motion-powered electronics, which is in development by M2E Power, you may be able to charge your phone just by walking or having it on you. M2E is claiming that their system will generate 300 to 700 percent more power than currently available kinetic energy technologies. So one day soon charging your phone by plugging it in may be a thing of the past.

We’ve seen our share of solar powered devices, but nothing so hideous and blatantly dorky as the solar powered necktie. It will not only collect solar power, but it also singles you out as a geek. You can thank a group of braniacs at Iowa State University for creating it. It’s made from newly developed solar fabrics. The solar panels are tiny and laid out in a grid that at least makes it look somewhat like any other tacky tie.
It even sports a pocket sewn into the back so your device can suck precious juice like a parasite that no one can see. This technology can only end with a living symbiote tie that strangles you dead, thereby making it look like you’ve committed suicide. Then they’ll take over the world. No one will know. It will just seem like unusually high suicides. Let’s just stop wearing them now, can we? They’re silly.

The Take Anywhere Electrical Power Source does away with the need for a travel adapter. It features a rechargeable 10-amp battery with more than enough juice to power a laptop not for one hour, not for two, but for three hours. It will power a cell phone for 15 hours of talk time, and even an iPod nano several times supposedly.
As for size, it’s smaller than most briefcases and sports a few AC outlets, a DC outlet, USB port, and is even outfitted with an LED for a flashlight. The internal battery can hold a charge for up to three months so you don’t have to babysit this thing to make sure you’ll have juice. The device will retail for $199.95 and would be pretty handy for those who travel a lot.

Somewhat like god, it seems that Steve Jobs is always around in some form. Some guy wasn’t content with his iPhone dock, so this bobblehead sculptor created this interesting looking iPhone dock that features a super-detailed Steve Jobs, so detailed it’s as if he is giving a keynote speech.
Just watch him watching you, talk to him now and then while you are charging(He’ll nod. He’s really listening). He really looks like he has an important announcement to make about an upcoming product that he knows you’ll overpay for. You know he’s still looking a little thin too, especially next to the iPhone.

Chances are you’ve been out with your phone and it runs out of juice. It’s annoying. We put men on the moon for God’s sake.(That was a long time ago) Well, Duracell wants to make sure you always have plenty of power in your USB gadgets. If your device uses mini USB to charge, Duracell’s new PowerSource Mini has you covered.
You can get it in two different versions. One is designed to power your iPod and the other is for Blackberry. Both have a mini USB connector. The PowerSource Mini stores power with an internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. Apparently it has a second USB port that lets you charge another device at the same time. It ships with an AC adapter and DC charger that each have a USB port, and the PowerSource Mini. Never be powerless again.

To gain more revenue, sometimes carriers resort to their innate creativity. Canadian carriers Bell and Telus understand this, and is probably why both will start charging incoming text messages to customers starting next month.
That is exactly what I said, minus all of the curse words (OK, just some). Just where did they get this fancy idea, right? Apparently, both carriers are keen on the fact that SMS usage is rising far too fast for the times and want to seize the opportunity of milking this untouched cash cow.
Starting August 8th and 24th for Canada’s Bell and Telus respectively, incoming text messages for everyone will be charged $0.15 Canadian, unless they are subscribed to a pre-existing monthly plan.
Due to the seemingly diabolical plot of this move, both carriers are now facing class action lawsuits in Quebec. Let’s see how this all turns out.
