Happy Tuesday to you all!! I’ve got another review for you of a product from our friends over the ocean at MobileFun. Yes we review stuff from everywhere, since our reader base is just not limited to the United States. The product is a an interesting take on the portable charger, it’s actually from Phillips, a name I’m sure sure you’re familiar with and it’s aptly named the Emergency Phone Charger. It’s compatible with several different phones out there today, it comes with five different tips including the common mini-USB style like my Tilt uses. The Emergency Charger uses a single AA battery to give you an additional 30 minutes of talk time on your phone. It’s truly a product for emergencies only, it’s not something that you’ll want to use all of the time since it uses a battery each time. Many portable chargers out there are multiple use and they can actually be recharged, but they’re not specifically for emergencies as this one is. It’s well made with a metal housing and it’s not much larger than the AA battery that powers it. There are many situation I’m sure where you could use this product, maybe just keep it in your car, or take it with you camping, hiking or biking as you never know when an emergency will come up and you’ll need to make a phone call.

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…
