I’m very happy to say to all gadget-philes that there’s finally a solution to powering all your gadgets minus the hassle of lugging around three or more chargers wherever you go. Power to the Max (http://www.powertothemax.com/) owes no allegiance to any particular brand or mobile gadget that they came up with universal chargers that not only accommodate the popular iPhones and iPads, their portable chargers can power a wide range of gadgets like PDAs, other big mobile phone brands, MP3 / MP4 players, PSPs, and a whole lot more.

Why hasn’t anyone else thought of these sooner? For those of us who go around a lot, we have to put up with packing a bunch of chargers and sometimes adaptors. Sometimes we can’t even keep up with the chargers anymore and forget or lose one, rendering one of our favorite toys a dead weight in our luggage. We can probably say goodbye to those days with these universal battery chargers that don’t punish us for our choices of having diversified gadgets.

What’s more is that we won’t have to worry about a sudden shortage of sockets! These battery chargers are portable and the developers claim a number of charging cycles of up to five times with simultaneous charging of two devices from their highest end model which only costs USD$54 at the time of this writing. I’d say that’s a pretty sweet deal. Of course if you’re not a prolific user of multiple gadgets, there are practical and cheaper choices for you that start at USD$26. So far their benchmark for charging cycles is of typical mobile phones. I can’t wait to hear about their results with other products.

Their chargers, in my opinion, are promising devices for uninterrupted gaming experience on the go, non-stop music and keeping our mobile phones on. They sure thought of putting everything in one handy kit that I only have to worry about adaptors when I travel overseas. You’re probably thinking their chargers are too good to be true and if they’re safe for your iPhone. One of their models was designed specifically to suit Apple fans. True to the lifestyle that comes with the use of any “iGadget”, the model is ultra slim, lightweight and is certified to meet the performance standards of Apple’s products. But their chargers are not exclusive to any one’s personal taste as they designed each one with flexibility and ease of use. They’re very convenient for you, your family and your crew when you do a lot of traveling or you’re out and about a lot.

These iPhone or iPad battery chargers will finally be available come January 2011. If there’s anything post Christmas that’s essential, it would be that one charger that rules them all gadgets and that one charger that binds them. I can’t wait to grab one of these from their store.

Sony PSP-3000 will be released in Japan on October 16th. The newest version features faster response time, higher contrast and color depth that result in better display quality. It also has an anti reflective screen, I’m guessing its something similar to the TFT technology on most of Sony Ericsson’s cellphones starting from the T630. Video-out option now supports outputting to analogue televisions as oppose to only progressive televisions.

Display improvement aside, a built-in internal microphone will also included in the new PSP located just below the screen which supports Skype.

The new PSP will come in three colors – Piano Black, Pearl White (my favorite) and Mystic Silver. Again in two trims – the basic version with the PSP, AC adapter and a battery while a value pack will have all those plus strap, cloth for cleaning the screen, a nice pouch (specially the white one) and a 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo which is something extra. It used to come with a 256MB one if I remember correctly.

I am happy Sony is adding so much more features to the PSP, features that will actually be useful! Unfortunately I’ve already got one, the oldest version in Pearl White.

Opera releases first public version of Opera Mobile 9.5 beta. First impression was it looks like a real broswer compare to the previous Opera browswer with its improved user interface. Its not just a simple facelift but it also contains new features such as panning and zooming to a particular section of a webpage, saving and/or mmsing contents (images, or the pages themselves) with a click.

Hopefully Opera will fix the few issues such as limited Flash support, no multilingual support, text wrapping etc.
