This little guy would help me a lot as I travel in some remote places throughout Asia; plus, the long train rides (such as 36+ hours) wouldn't be so electrically-challenging. I even avoided getting any MP3 that had a rechargable battery when I was living in China, for I wanted to be able to change the batteries; this would have solved that issue.
Clammering around Everest Base Camp doesn't provide many opportunities to plug in either. It's good to know that options such as these rechargers are becoming smaller, more reliable, and less expensive. Now, I just need to turn my long-sleeve travel shirts into solar-chargers. :wink:
I too could use one of these! I carry my Dell x51v with me wherever I go. However, since I bought a Motorola Q, I haven't been taking it out of my bag as much and thus not charging it as much. I would love to have one of these in my bag to recharge my pocketpc. The Dell is what I use as my Tom Tom too. There have been a number of times I've wanted to use it, but since I forgot to charge it, I was out of luck. If I went home every night, charging would not be an issue, but I'm on the go a lot. This would help solve my low batt problems! So, please, consider me for your give away. If it helps, I've never won here before Oh, and btw, you are a very handsome man and smart too! I hope to be more like you! :mrgreen:
Well, as a medical student with rotations up to 36 hours long each, my poor Sprint 6700 can't keep up with the pace (nor can I hehe), and it usually schleps out on me just as I get some free time to check up on the outside world. This gizmo would help me out a great bit!
I need the Proporta USB Mobile Device Charger when my wife and I
go to Venice Italy next year for a 14 day cruise. I enjoy taping a Bluetooth GPS receiver to the window of th e aircraft and monitoring our location on my Dell X51V during the trip using GPS Tuner. The Dell needs a boost after a couple of hours and this would be great for that purpose. I can use it to keep my T-Mobile SDA topped off as well for internet browsing once I get to Venice or most places in Europe.
I would use one of these Proporta chargers on a canoe trip into Minnesota's BWCWA ( Boundary Waters Canoe Wildnerness Area). I could use my GPS-enabled device to determine just where I was on a wilderness lake, how far from the next portage, and to determine just where is that next portage (in foggy weather)!! The Proporta should give me up to a week's use of my mobile device.

Oh yes, just the gadget for me!
Transaltlantic flights with 3 changes are looking much less bothersome already.
also charging in the bag is awesome, no more hangning out by the power outlet in hotel lobbies and airports
Maybe I'll be able to ditch the 5800mAh battery in my old tosh e800 pocket PC, and go back to slim and sexy devices,
the old tosh is definitiely looking weary and is a huge brick - but where else can you get 7 hours VGA video and still have 35% battery left
This would be great everytime I leave the house for more than a day. Especially on vacation when. Half my packing checklist is cables for charging all the devices I bring. Every weekend away from home, I'm out in a strange place, turn on the GPS... Woops, I don't have a spare battery for this device yet!
dockehr: I hope they send you a few of these! My device never lasts more than a day--and that's without using it as a media player. Sounds like fun though. Remember, phones and water don't get along well.
Oh man, this would be great! I do a lot of international travel and keeping everything charged is a major challenge. Sometimes, I'm 2-3 days between wall outlets and even when you have one, it's not always easy to get things done. For example, this past June, my wife and I were traveling in Africa. The wall converters for where we stayed are huge, about the size of a computer mouse, so we only carried one with us. Yet here we were with two digital SLR cameras, a digital P&S camera, my Pocket PC, her Pocket PC, a handheld GPSr and a mobile phone. Keeping everything charged took some planning since we could only charge one thing at a time and, since we weren't in the same place for more than two nights in a row, we usually couldn't leave things charging while we were out during the day. There were a couple of times when I had to stay awake late, while my wife slept, waiting for that next-to-last thing to charge so I could switch it out and finally go to sleep. Having something like this would have competely changed the equation, making a long and tedious job much less long and less tedious.
Well, I have, in the past temporarily set my iPAQ to not turn off if on battery, then shut it off, but it came back on with an alarm, stayed on and ran the battery on....Luckily I was going home soon and was able to get it to the charger before it lost everything (older model). Plus, I couldn't look anything up for the rest of the day.
Also, I have been frustrated when my Jawbone Bluetooth headset has run out of juice early in the day of an on the road day....bummer.
This device would solve both of my problems and the new ones for the new devices planed for purchase
My pda phone's battery just doesn't last quite long enough. It always seems to hit that sub 10% range when I need to make an important call. I'd have this little beauty for those kinds of situations.
Another one is for use with my Axim X5 and a Garmin cfQue. The batteries sure don't last as long as I need them to and this would be a great backup in those cases. There's nothing quite like being in a strange city and losing your only way to navigate!
