DLO iPod portable power
Digital Lifestyle Outfitters has introduced new PowerBugs -- portable power/charging devices -- for the recently announced iPod nano, iPod classic and iPod touch. The chargers let users draw power using any AC wall outlet. It offers a compact, fold-away design and includes an iPod charging cable to power any dockable iPod. The PowerBug for shuffle includes a cable specific to the second generation iPod shuffles. The company has also announced the DLO Auto Charger, available in black or white. Like the PowerBugs, the Auto Charger provides a status light to let users know their iPod's charging condition at a glance - viewable through the clear lens in the charger module. The Auto Charger glows red for charger 'power on' status, amber when it's charging and green when the iPod's battery is fully charged.
The Auto Charger also includes Velcro tabs that allow users to mount their iPod, connected to the Auto Charger, anywhere in the car. It fits all dockable iPods including the iPod, iPod mini, iPod nano, iPod classic, iPod touch and iPhone. It charges the iPod's battery from any cigarette lighter or 12v outlet in a car or truck. The Auto Charger comes with a 24-inch coiled cord that stretches to over five feet in length.
DLO PowerBug, PowerBug for iPod and PowerBug for shuffle are available for $20, $25 and $23 respectively. The DLO Auto Charger is priced at $20.
