POWERSTICK – USB POWERED PORTABLE CHARGER

Ever forget to charge your phone? I have, too many time to count actually, I do it all of the time with my portable devices, it’s just not one of those things that I think about often, though I have been getting better at remembering. I went and got a USB car charger as well so I can charge my gadgets on the go, it’s nice because it’s pretty much universal with the USB port there for you.

What happens though when you don’t have access to a car charger, or AC outlet to charge your gadgets? You’re kinda stuck with a dead device then eh? What if you’re camping, or hiking or somewhere without power, you’ve only got the battery you have and that’s that, well not anymore. The product I’ve got today is one that I’ve come to like quite a bit, it’s very portable, easy to use, and it not only provides power for your phone, but comes with tips to provide power to many other devices as well, so it will not only charge your phone but yourMP3 player, and even GPD as well.

It’s called the Powerstick and it’s from a company called Ecosol, it gets it’s power from a standard USB port, so you can charge it via a computer jack or if you’ve got a USB adapter in your car as I do, you can use that as well. So read on to learn about what is possibly one of the best portable power solution on the market today…

DVD to Pocket PC

Hello again, it’s been quite a while since I’ve taken  a look at any video conversion software, but I’m back today with one that’s fairly easy to use and relatively inexpensive for what it offers and can do.

The software is called DVD to Pocket PC and it does exactly what it sound like, it converts DVDs to pocket PC format, and my Tilt is is what would be considered a pocket PC, along with the other phones we cover on this site.

I love movies, not many out there don’t I’m sure, it’s probably one of our biggest pastimes or waste-of-times we all participate in, but their nice to help us relax and just get away from the troubles of everyday life. With our phones, especially smartphones, we can now take our music and movies with us, but to do that we’ve got to mage them a bit smaller and compatible with our devices, there’s many choices out there to do this, but continue on to learn about one decent choice, DVD to Pocket PC.

GOTW #3: Xtrakt!

Now you may be thinking to yourself… Hmm… Isn’t that game from the Sony Xperia? Yep! and leave it to itje to extract it and CR7KB24 to let everyone know that it works very well on the Touch Pro and HD!

Starting it up you’ll notice that it is done RIGHT… it loads fast and its great to see the Sony Ericsson splash screen show right up…  On the first loading screen you can notice the problem though… It was originally designed for WVGA, so you lose some of the screen on the Touch Pro.  Good thing they designed it to run in the middle of the screen though because you do lose some scores and the exit button is kind of tricky, but you can still play the whole game.

The game is pretty simple.  You’re driving a motorcycle through a city avoiding/shooting the enemies and roadblocks on your way.  You move your guy from left to right with your stylus/finger and then click the enemies with the stylus also.  You win by surviving! 

The game is created by Southend Interactive but they do not list anything on their site but with all the news online about the game, that may change.  THIS game is HUGE proof that the Touch Pro/HD can handle great games like the iPhone can, people just need to get DEVELOPING!

I do have the Ati 3D drivers installed, so that may help but apart from that there aren’t any special tweaks you have to do.  Go download and play!  As ALWAYS, follow along in our Forums!

Read on for some more screenshots!
