Digipower have announced the launch of the Jumpstart family of universal chargers led by its flagship product, the Jumpstart Sport.
The Jumpstart Sport provides portable power in slim and fashionable designs, apparently perfect for today’s active individual – ranging from camouflage through to plaid, I’m told there is a Jumpstart Sport that fits everyone’s lifestyle!
Features-wise, the Jumpstart:
- has a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery pack that comes with cable and connectors for a series of popular cell phones, for smartphones including the iPhone or Blackberry, handheld game devices and even portable GPS devices
- is recharged using a supplied AC wall charger or a USB cable
- has a unique battery gauge on the device shows instantly how much power is remaining
- retains its charge for up to one year, and can charge a device in only forty minutes
The entry level Jumpstart emergency charger provides instant power for cell phones, adding a crucial couple of battery bars for important calls. The compact size of the Jumpstart allows it to be hung, like a charm, from cell phones. The Jumpstart and phone can be charged simultaneously using the cellphone’s car or wall charger.
So what about cost? Well the MSRP of the Jumpstart Sport universal charger is $49.99. MSRP for the Jumpstart emergency charger is $14.99.
The Jumpstart products will be available in June from select retailers in the US, and let’s hope we get some Euro-love over here shortly after – I’m forever running out of charge on my device!!

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
