Take Anywhere power source…everywhere

Take Anywhere power source…everywhereThe 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.

PowerMat cliams to offer wireless power

Cavale:

Israel’s Powermat has announced that it is now ready to use technologies that turn any surface into a power source. The few induction based wireless power that have been released have been unmarketable though. The Israeli company seems to have photoshopped the image of an iPod charging onto every image sent by Powermat. Though the company says embedding PowerMat in sheetrock eliminates the need for outlets entirely, they do not specify how that can be done or what the logic behind it is. So, may insiders and those who have been watching the developments are quite skeptical. Powermat also claims that it can deliver energy in real time and electrical fires can be avoided. Though the idea looks interesting, lack of proof and explanations has resulted in a lot of cynicism.
