Cool Huh? pick of the week (chargepod mobile charger) Don't Lose Your Work Like I Did

This weeks Open Office Space Cool Huh? pick is a day late and also the reason for our selection.

Our featured subject for (Friday) Thursday August 27th - the chargepod mobile charger by callpod

Description: The Chargepod by callpod could have come in most handy yesterday when my laptop battery died, erasing all my work.

The Chargepod is a 6-way charging device that allows you to charge multiple cell phones, PDAs, headsets, and most other mobile electronics with a single power cord. Just pick out the manufacturer-specific adapters for your devices and throw away the dozens of power cords and wall warts that are cluttering your office and home. Chargepod uses voltage regulator technology and interchangeable power adapters to safely charge all of your mobile devices regardless of manufacturer or model.

Features:

  • Charges up to 6 devices at the same time
  • Small, portable and lightweight
  • Eliminates the clutter from having multiple chargers
  • Compatible with thousands of mobile devices such as iPods, cell phones, Bluetooth headsets, PDAs, digital cameras, navigation units, mp3 players, digital readers and portable gaming systems
  • Chargepod is compatible with all foreign 120/240 V adapter wall plugs; no additional power supply is necessary

Why we chose the callpod as this weeks subject: Currently I am on a houseboat in the middle of Lake Powell, AZ. In an effort to stay as productive as possible I brought along my laptop, blackberry, ipod and a few other mobile devices.

Yesterday while multi-tasking, I looked down and realized that I was about to lose power on my laptop. I quickly tried to save my work but unfortunately for me it was too late. The laptop died and I lost about 4 hours worth of work. With limited available outlets, and what seems to be an unlimited amount of devices that need to be charged, I guess something had to give.

Vowing that this would not happen to me again I searched for a device that could charge multiple devices at the same time, all from one outlet.

Today's entrepreneur relies on multiple mobile devices to stay productive while they are on the go. Hotel rooms, offices, coffee shops, and as I found out firsthand, even houseboats, often have limited electrical outlets.

Perhaps the chargepod can keep prevent another embarassing episode of a grown man yelling expletives at a beautiful lake with a bunch of people standing around...jaws a dropping.
