Saw this one today from MobileFun – a charger packing some serious grunt!

Quoted as “the ultimate emergency charger for portable electronic devices”, the PowerMobile Advanced is not an ordinary charger. It is powered by 2 powerful 2000mAH AA Batteries and can be used as:

• A Universal Device Charger that uses multiple tips to charge multiple mobile devices
• An AA Battery Recharger using any USB power supply to recharge any rechargeable AA batteries
• A USB Device Charger so any device with a USB cable worldwide can be recharged eg. Apple iPhone 3GS

It comes complete with:

• 2 Powerful 2000mAH Rechargeable AA Batteries
• 7 Connector Tips – making it compatible with most mobile devices
• Fold Out USB Male Connector so you can connect to any USB power supply to recharge your batteries
• USB Female Port so you can connect to the USB charging cable of any electrical device

I bet you are wondering which devices the tips fit, right?

• Nokia (NYSE: NOK) 2mm Connector
• Samsung D800/D900 Series
• Samsung G600/U900 Series
• Micro USB (Nokia/Motorola (NYSE: MOT))
• Mini USB (Blackberry (NSDQ: RIMM)/HTC/Motorola etc)
• LG Series
• Sony-Ericsson Fast Port Series

There’s a few (!) devices it won’t support – the iPhone numbering among them – but I think for £14.95 it’s a reasonable shout! You can get one here.

eXpansys have got the new Windows Mobile 6.5 & Android devices available for pre-order now, and the Acer neoTouch with Windows Mobile 6.5 is already in stock! They are also running offers with each device!

Me personally, I think I’ve got to have one of those HTC HD2 devices – it looks so schweet!

Briefly then: the Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) Satio is now available to pre-order on Vodafone UK.

It has a whopping great big camera. Nice.

eXpansys are back with this months hot deals – and as per usual we have six items on offer. I think my personal fave this month is the Netgear NAS – yes, not strictly a mobile device, but good for backing up all the media that I seem to be downloading on to my device these days. There are also a selection of devices that are running WinMo, should that float your boat. Me, I’m gonna get me one of them Netgear boxes! Here are the links as usual:

• B-Stock Acer Aspire One A150B Netbook Open Box
• Acer Tempo F900 HD Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro
• Netgear ReadyNAS Duo 500GB Version
• ASUS P750 Smartphone Windows Mobile 6.0

The slimline leather Beyza case for iPhone 3G/3GS

You can’t pass by a good quality case for your phone, without giving it a look – both from the damage-saving perspective, and also the form-factor – to see if it’s “kewl”. Well I think the Beyza cases from MobileFun fit the bill on both counts (description for iPhone 3G/3GS case below):

The SlimLine Series Apple iPhone 3G Black Case is designed to help protect your iPhone 3G from bumps, scratches and damage with a velvet lining that covers the inner surface of your handset.

The special Beyza Cases padding is designed to make your case compact and more comfortable, protecting your iPhone 3G against any shocks. There is no belt clip attached to the SlimLine case, so it is easy to fit in any of your pockets. Made with genuine leather and soft felt interior lining for ultimate protection and durability.

Features:

• Elegant case with quality hand-crafted leather
• Slim and padded design
• Ultimate protection and durability
• Velvet lining
• Slim design without belt loop

There’s a full range of cases, which you can check out – but they are smartly designed and are going to protect that all-important large screen that so many devices have these days. If that wasn’t enough, there’s currently a 10% discount promo running on the cases, but it won’t last long – so check out the full range here.

I’m happy. Occasionally, we get through innovative takes on mobile gadgetry, and this I think of one of them. OK, it does addresses the business user market segment more squarely, but who would have thought combining a passcard holder and Bluetooth holder could be such a good idea?!

Well that’s exactly what IQUA have done, and what MobileFun are retailing – even better, they’ve given us a review unit, plus THREE (yes, THREE!) units to give away!

Here’s a little info on the units:

Key Features:

• Bluetooth handsfree and corporate ID badge holder combined
• Accepts an ID card that measures up to 85mm by 55mm
• Easy to carry and use
• Stylish design to complement your professional look
• Talktime up to 40h!
• Standby time up to 600h
• Vibration to alert incoming calls silently during meetings
• 3-way conference call
• Support for VOIP calls
• Switch between phone and handsfree modes
• Bluetooth connection active, call status and low battery indicated by multi-colored LEDs

The competition should be going live alongside one of ‘The Signal’ Podcasts, in the next month or so! In the meanwhile you can buy them here.

eXpansys have been in contact again, to let us know about their ‘most wanted gadgets 2009′ – a very decent selection, with some good deals to be had:

DroboPro 8-BAY Storage Solution Now £949.99

Apple iPhone 3G S 32GB In Black and Unlocked Now £899.99

Sony P19WN/Q VAIO Netbook Plus £150 Cash Back Now £849.99

Nokia N900 Media Tablet Plus £30 eXpansys Vouchers Now £499.99

HTC Hero Smartphone Plus £30 eXpansys Vouchers Now £369.99

Parrot RKi8400 Bluetooth Car Stereo and Hands-free Kit Now £284.99

Personally I like the look of the HTC Hero at that price, but then the Parrot Car Stereo is oh so very tempting…!

Crumbs. And I thought the last piece I wrote on O2 being the home of smartphones was going to be the last I would write this year regarding launches of big-hitter devices – wrong!

There have been rumours circulating that O2 have also got the HTC HD2 (Leo), a not inconsequential device that packs a massive screen, and some seriously credible styling. On top of that, I reported just the other day on Motorola’s direct marketing of their Dext device (they are leaving nothing to chance with this one).

So that adds another two fairly hot smartphones to the pile, in what is becoming a somewhat crowded showdown already – just to recap then, you’ve got a choice of:

• Apple iPhone 3G
• Palm Pre
• Samsung Galaxy
• HTC HD2
• HTC Hero
• Motorola Dext
• + (I expect) the BlackBerry Storm 2, or another BB device

Jeepers! This means you are now pretty much spoilt for choice when out shopping for your next device. Of course, each of them have their own strengths and weaknesses. For example, I’d argue the iPhone is the best media-centric device, on account of it’s tight integration with iTunes, and ability to handle images and video with ease. However, the Pre is carrying what is supposed to be an superb new O/S (and obviously that QWERTY form factor), and the Galaxy/Hero are packing Android!

Could we soon be reaching the point where we find a device that does most things, really really well? Maybe – that device might even be in the list above…

Now we all know how important is to have good quality headphones to pump choons in to your brain – and amongst headphone manufacturers, Shure are well-renowned as purveyors of great headphones – so it made me very happy to find out that AMP3 are selling the SE110 headphones with 50% off for a short while! Oh yes, normally you pay £56.99, but for the moment (until 1st October) £28.49!
