Chargepod PHOTO

Callpod, Inc., an award-winning emerging technology company that has created and patented unique audio conferencing and content sharing technologies for wireless and consumer electronic devices as well as cellular telephones, has reduced the starting price of its debut product, the Chargepod, to $39.95 and the bundle pack to $79.95.

The Chargepod is a 6-in-1 device that allows users to charge most mobile electronic devices with a single power cord from almost anywhere including at home, in the car or at the office.

“The response to the Chargepod has been extremely positive across the board,” said Darren Guccione, President, CEO and Co-Founder of Callpod Inc. “It is a unique yet simple product that is extremely useful as it eliminates annoying gadget clutter by saving space, outlets and power. We understood that the Chargepod was a very special product that we wanted to share in both domestic and international markets. This price enhancement allowed us to better serve our customers as we scale into the mass retail channels this year.”

Essential at Home, at the Office or on the Road
Callpod offers hundreds of manufacturer-specific adapters for all types of portable devices. Users can dispose of numerous power cords once the Chargepod enters the picture. The Chargepod uses voltage regulator technology and interchangeable power adapters to safely charge all of your mobile devices regardless of manufacturer or model. The Chargepod comes with an AC adapter; users can also purchase the car adapter for use in an automobile, making it an extremely versatile product for the mobile traveler or business user.

The Chargepod is an easy-to-use charger that solves an annoying problem that has plagued portable gadget lovers, families, road warriors, and employees ever since portable gadgets came on the scene. Callpod continues to add adapters for the Chargepod as new devices are introduced so that users can simply add an adapter and not a whole new charger every time they upgrade their device. The Chargepod is the last device charger you’ll ever need to buy. It is simply the best travel charger for mobile devices available today.

Pricing options start at $39.95

1. The Chargepod carries a street price of $39.95 which includes the Chargepod base unit, a carrying case and wall plug (100-240V AC, 50-60 Hz). Each additional adapter is $9.95.
2. Callpod offers a bundle pack for $79.95, which includes the Chargepod base unit, AC wall plug, car charger, carrying case and the following six popular adapters: Apple/iPod/phone, Motorola, Blackberry, Nokia, Palm Treo and Sony PSP devices. (Consumers save $40 by purchasing the bundle pack)

Callpod has also fitted the Chargepod with a smaller wall plug for customer convenience.

In addition, Callpod recently released the award winning Dragon®, a 100m range advanced Bluetooth headset for mobile phones, PDAs, gaming systems and computers. Another breakthrough device is Callpod’s Phoenix, a revolutionary and patented Bluetooth mobile conferencing system which connects five Bluetooth headsets together so when users make a call, all five participants can talk in full duplex and join in a phone call on the other end. The Dragon is currently available in several retail stores and online retailers. The Phoenix® will be available this quarter. Stay tuned as Callpod plans to announce several new innovative products this year.

MP1800_Frontside.jpg

Tekkeon has expanded its mobile power product family to include TekCharge™ MP1800, a reusable emergency power source to charge and power Zune for more than a week, a mobile phone for an extra 17 hours of talk time, or a PDA for an additional six hours. This candy bar sized, 4.5 ounce device is a rechargeable lithium ion battery to power and charge mobile phones and many other popular portable devices.

TekCharge MP1800 delivers 14.8 Watt-hours per charge through a standard USB port. The battery connects through a mini USB port to a mobile device in two ways: via an adapter that mates with the power port, or using the device’s own USB cable, bypassing the need for an extra adapter. To combat the shortage of electrical plugs in most hotel rooms, TekCharge MP1800 charges a connected device at the same time its battery is being charged.

TekCharge MP1800 includes a voltage regulator so it won’t harm the connected device or its battery. A color coded LED provides the charge status, and TekCharge MP1800 even has a white LED flashlight at one end.

“Like our popular myPower™ ALL line of external laptop batteries/chargers, TekCharge MP1800 is universal so it can be used with different types of devices, including most mobile phones, iPhone, iPod, Zune®, MP3 players, portable CD players, and Bluetooth headsets,” says Jerry Yang, president of Tekkeon, Inc. “In fact, supplying up to 800mA, TekCharge MP1800 goes 60% beyond most portable batteries which provide 5V at 500mA, so there aren’t many devices it can’t both run and charge.”

TekCharge MP1800 comes with a handy tote, plus eight adapter tips for connection to:
- Blackberry (mini USB)
- LG mobile phones
- Motorola mobile phones (mini USB and Micro USB)
- Nokia mobile phones
- Samsung mobile phones
- Sony Ericsson mobile phones

Using the device USB cable eliminates the need for a specific adapter; however, additional
adapters are available from the Tekkeon store for devices with a USB cable.

TekCharge MP1800, which retails for $44.95, is available through retail and major on-line stores, including Buy.com, DataVision, eCOST.com, Expansys, Newegg, and RCS Experience, and from the Tekkeon store at www.tekkeon.com. It comes with a one-year limited warranty.

Flexii Bluetooth Cassette Adapter for Car Audio Tape Recorder - UK CSR Chipset at Vavolo.com

I bet there are a lot of you starting to get jealous of those other people that can listen to their tunes from their Bluetooth device, such as a smartphone, right on their car stereo without every plugging in a wire to anything. With rumors of the iPhone update supporting full Bluetooth stereo, the doors may just be blown open wide real soon with Bluetooth audio.

Now if you’re one that spent all their cash on such a device and can’t yet afford the upgrade to a nice slick Alpine or Pioneer that supports Bluetooth connectivity, then maybe you should take out that old mix tape and throw in the Flexii Bluetooth Cassette Adapter. With this sweet adapter, you’ll be able to do what those other cassette adapters for portable CD players did and play music from a really cool high tech gadget! Cheap. For $40, you’ll get to play jams from your PDA, smartphone, or laptop all without a single wire. In fact, the Bluetooth Cassette Adapter has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery that will give you up to 5 hours of play time. The included USB cable lets you charge that bad boy in not time!

So now enjoy your high tech gadget on your “low” tech radio. Bring your car into the future, baby!
