Our biggest FEAR, as we transcend further into our mobile lifestyle, is to become powerless. In other words, for one of our mobile device’s to use up its battery and no where to immediately charge it… right? Not anymore! POWERSTICK™ by Ecosol^® is a small (fits in your pocket or purse), lightweight (1.23oz; 40grams), one-fits-all, portable charger that anyone who uses a mobile device (cell phone, smart phone, PDA, iPhone, iPod, Digital Camera, GPS and/or MP3 player) should own.

The benefit of Ecosol’s POWERSTICK helps the planet by being a whole lot SMARTer with the GREENest charging solution – no disposable batteries, and no wall chargers. This energy efficient charger comes with 9 connectors (Sony Ericsson – LG – Nokia – Motorola – Samsung – Blackberry – Apple IPOD – Palm Treo – Mini USB for Devices such as Bluetooth Headsets and Digital Cameras) reducing the need for more than one charger. This device is:

SMART:   1000+ cycle lifespan                GREEN:   fewer disposals into our landfills

SMART:   controls energy flow                GREEN:   once full, does not consume any more energy

SMART:   automatic sleep mode GREEN:   saves energy when the device is not in use

As for powerless, read on…

I pride myself in “always being prepared” however, that can only go so far. How about being prepared for those unknown circumstances or someone else’s unpreparedness? Either way, I was fully prepared for both of those “OOPS” occasions!

The day I received my POWERSTICK, I immediately charged it from my laptop. That evening while attending my daughter’s young student’s dance recital, one of the parents forgot to charge their digital camera. Their daughter’s special dance would not be captured. No worries, I was prepared. I had brought my fully charged POWERSTICK and all of the connectors to show my daughter, my latest “tech toy”.  We were able to plug in my POWERSTICK to their camera and saved the day (or night, in this instance). Fortunately for them, I was prepared for both an unknown circumstance and someone else’s unpreparedness.

Besides the benefits of the SMART and GREEN factors, the results removed their FEAR of being “powerless”. Thank you POWERSTICK.

I have a portable MP3 player that I’m pretty happy with. It holds a ton of music, and also stores some pictures and gives me alarms for calendar events. It’s pretty spiffy.

It also has some video playback. It can hold feature length movies, but the screen is so tiny (and scratched, my bad!) that it’s hard to watch anything. Having a pair of Vuzix iWear goggles really helps me get the most out of my portable video player. You plug the input source into the goggles (there are tons of adapters to let you plug virtually anything with a video output into the iWear) and settle in to watch the video fill your field of vision.

While watching, I never really got the impression that I was watching anything on a big screen. The screen was nicely sized and well lit, but I wasn’t mistaking the experience for watching a movie screen. All the same, it was a considerable step up from the normal portable watching I do.

It also worked well hooking up to my video game system, though it isn’t able to display high-def video input.

Set up was a snap. Just charge up the viewer and go to videotown. It took a few seconds for me to get comfortable, mostly because I wear the excessively blocky glasses associated with Johnny Depp and Ira Glass. Once I got the nose rests out of the way and discovered that the speakers aren’t designed to fit in your ears, I was off to the races. The battery life lasted long enough for me to get through a two hour movie with time to spare, and it recharges easily on any wall socket.

All in all, it’s a great product that’s pretty comfortable to wear for long periods and gives you a much better portable video experience.
