Grab a mini gorilla for portable gadget power

Posted by Andy as Gadgets

A means of charging your gadgets up on the move is a must if you’re away from power sockets for any length of time, but the bulk and weight can be off-putting, so it’s good to see an elegant and compact solution from Powertraveller: the minigorilla.

As you’d expect, it comes with all the most common tips in order that you can charge up notebooks, cellphones and other portable devices — 20 notebook tips plus a number of others in fact.

A useful feature is the ability to charge 5V devices and netbooks simultaneously. It covers a voltage range of 8.4V, 9.5V, 10.5V, 12V and 19V, has a number of built in protections (voltage and current limitation, short circuit, anti-discharge, overcharging and overheating).

The minigorilla has enough power in it to charge the iPhone five times.

It’s available for £99.95 (around $160).

Dubbed the Playstation Move, the advanced motion controls on this baby makes it supposedly more accurate than that other motion controller from that little-known console from [...]
