iGo
Working for a software company that makes software for mobile phones — from lots of manufacturers — I love being able to borrow the latest Sony-Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia, BlackBerry, or other fun handset for the weekend. (Or, like with the Motorola Ming, indefinitely…) As a result, I have a growing pile of wall chargers for just about everything. Well, thank goodness that I heard about iGo! I just got an iGo charger over the weekend and I’m loving it already.
iGo is this little company that makes wall and car chargers with interchangeable tips. Bring home the hot new BlackBerry Curve? No problem — just snap in tip A29. Is the Ming complaining about running low on juice? Snap in tip A32. Each tip costs right around $10, which I think is pretty good. Radio Shack carries them, plus iGo sells them online. (I wonder if there are any web sites selling them at deep discounts by the bucketful…?)
Now I have one charger plugged into the outlet all the time and a small bag with a bunch of tips in it sitting in a vintage Chinese tea bowl sitting on my desk. At long last I can get rid of that growing rat’s nest of wires and oddly shaped plugs!
