a review by Tom Piper
Have you lost track of your device chargers? Getting tired of that heap of cables, cords and power bricks cluttering multiple power strips around your place? Wouldn’t it be nice to have one charging station that would serve most of your portable electronics?
IDAPT (Innovative Adapter) has released a great array of universal device battery chargers specifically for mobile technology users, based on a patented system of interchangeable tips. I discovered this ingenius system at Macworld 2011, and have been using it every day since then. It has allowed me to condense most of my charging into one central hub.
The IDAPT I4 is an innovative charging solution that can charge up to 4 mobile devices simultaneously and is compatible with over 4,000 mobile electronic devices including the iPhone, iPad, iPod, GPS systems, digital cameras, Bluetooth and many other products. This unit features an interchangeable tip system making it completely customizable including 3 charging points and an additional USB charging socket, allowing users to charge their electronics without the mess of tangled cords or the need for more than one outlet.
The specifications include:
- AC Input: 85-240 VAC
- 0.2A; 50/60 Hz worldwide compatible
- DC Output: Up to 13 W
- Dimensions: 169 x 135 x 32mm, weight: 300g
- LEDS indicate the charging status of your device
- Save energy and switch off when not in use
- Updates of adapter tips as new devices are launched.
- Simple plug-and-charge connection and removal of electronic devices
- Available in any of 9 colors
This unit is not only extremely functional, it is also very trim and attractive on the tabletop. Mine sits immediately next to my MacBook Pro 17” for easy access for my iPhone4, Verizon Mi-Fi, Viper Security keyfob, iPad2, iPods (numerous), Plantonics bluetooth headset, and more. Now, I can’t imagine my life without it!
At $59.99, this is a solid investment which can be acquired from http://www.idaptweb.com/. There are other variations on the same theme with four other models with prices down to as little as $24.99.
