			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My cousin Paula reminded me of another few cool products that I discovered over the summer.  Now that I have a nifty iPhone, the need for portable power has become more necessary, especially if I&#8217;m going to be away from a power source for an extended period of time.</p>
<p>I found this on a trip to Radio Shack, it&#8217;s called the Lenmar PowerPort PPU2100B.  You can get one from <a title="Lenmar PowerPort at Buy.com" href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-2456097-10471857?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.buy.com%2Fprod%2Flenmar-ppu2100b-powerport-lenmar-5v-7-8wh-li-ion-black%2Fq%2Floc%2F63024%2F207715790.html&amp;cjsku=207715790" target="_blank">Buy.com</a> or here <a href="http://www.thenerds.net/LENMAR.POWERPORT_LENMAR_5V_78Wh_LI_ION_BLACK.PPU2100B.html" target="_blank">TheNerds.net</a>.</p>

<p>As you can see, the device is just about the size of the iPhone.  This was super handy over the summer when I&#8217;d spend 3 to 5 hours a day at the beach.  Without this device, there would be no way I could have made it through the day.</p>
<p>It will also charge any USB compatible device&#8230; I&#8217;ve used it to charge Eileen&#8217;s T-Mobile Wing, our Razr v3 and my daughter&#8217;s iPod.</p>
<hr />Next up, a Black &amp; Decker Power To Go device.  This one is very cool, but much larger than the Lenmar model.  You can get one at <a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-2456097-10471857?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.buy.com%2Fprod%2Fblack-decker-100-watt-power-to-go-laptop-cordless-ac-usb-power-supply%2Fq%2Floc%2F63024%2F208028041.html&amp;cjsku=208028041" target="_blank">Buy.com</a>.  I would have suggested this to her for use with her laptop, but this isn&#8217;t powered off the car cigarette lighter &#8211; it&#8217;s a standalone power unit.</p>

Because staying connected is a basic human need, Black &amp; Decker created Power To Go. These lightweight and compact powerful solutions come equipped with both AC &amp; USB outlets allowing you to power and/or recharge a variety of mobile devices while on the go. No special adapters needed, one Power To Go does it all.

<p>Staying connected is a basic human need, huh?  I thought things like food and shelter were&#8230; but I digress.</p>
<p>As you can see from the picture, this unit is much heftier than the PowerPort &#8211; but it claims that you can run your laptop off this!  I haven&#8217;t tried it in the real world yet, but I&#8217;m sure that you can only get a few minutes off this with a laptop.  I&#8217;d be willing to bet that you can get HOURS and HOURS of charge time for a phone or small electronic device.  One curious thing was, that even though this device has two USB ports and one power port, I was unable to get my iPhone to charge of the USB port.  When I plugged in the wall charger unit for the iPhone, it charged just fine &#8211; go figure.</p>
