Unless you domain to calculate two things at the aforementioned time, in which scheme binary emotional USB ports are a necessity.

So after every that ranting, you’re belike expecting some category of crack abstract that module cipher every of your USB charging needs. Sorry. All I’ve got is this surround diddley that has TWO USB charging plugs instead of ONE. And it’s diminutive and black and has foldy plugs. And it exclusive costs $7. Find it at USB Geek.

Right, we know — it’s probably the hideous FCC photograph that’s turning us off on the design, but there’s still something here that just screams 1997. Nitpicking aside, the so-called Bluepeaker is a multifaceted device that provides GPS data to Bluetooth-equipped phones, PDAs and laptops, all while doubling as a BT speaker (audio streaming is obviously supported) or a BT speakerphone (handsfree is a lock). The unit itself can get juice via any powered USB port or AC wall charger, and we’re told it should last for around 200 hours in standby mode. Sadly, the FCC isn’t really much for handing out pricing details, but we’ll be sure to keep an ear to the ground.

It’s annoying to buy a phone and discover that only a wall charger and user manual come included in the box. We love to see phones come with extra goodies.

That’s why we’re glad to see Alltel offer a 2GB MicroSD card with the entire Mission: Impossible trilogy pre-installed with every Samsung Delve purchase.

“When you combine this incredible content with the Delve’s full set of powerful features, it’s easy to stay entertained and connected no matter where you are,” said Bill Ogle, Senior Marketing Officer for Samsung Mobile.

Here’s how it works: anytime you purchase a Samsung Delve, send in a mail-in redemption form and you will receive the MicroSD card within 4-6 weeks. We wish it actually came included in the box, but we understand that Samsung and Paramount only struck this deal recently and there may not have been any time to get the cards thrown in each box.

Either way, at least the Delve comes with some perks. Perhaps, if successful, this will become a regular addition to other featured phones.

We’ve seen some nifty chargers in our day, but this bugger is probably one of the most practical to ever hit the market place. Rather than sending along 800 various tips to keep track of lose while traveling, this wall charger converts a single AC outlet into power for five USB devices (4 USB A female and 1 mini-USB). These days, it’s rare to find a device that can’t optionally be charged via USB, and if it can’t, let’s face it — it’s about time you threw that thing to the local thrift store. Grab one now for just $25.99.

Primitive though it may be, walking is an endeavor still enjoyed by a few. And these sprightly urbanites will soon be able to get something in return for their efforts (you know, aside from good health): gadget-recharging electricity. The nPower PEG (Personal Energy Generator) is a device that harvests the kinetic energy of your walking and turns it into electricity, charging most devices up to 80% with just one hour’s worth of walking. Toss it into a bag along with any USB 2.0 powered device, and it’ll charge as you walk. The rep did not mention whether jumping around spastically would make things go faster.

The nPower PEG in being pre-sold on their website, and will be available in six months for $149. The company hopes that as it gets manufactured in increasingly larger quantities, the price will drop accordingly.

Full press release after the jump.

The power is in you! With the nPower™ PEG, you create power for charging your cell phone, iPod,
and other handheld devices. Just place the lightweight nPower™ PEG in your bag or on your hip,
attach it to your device, and you’ll create energy any time you need it. The PEG works when you are
in motion, so you don’t have to worry about being near a power outlet or running out of a charge
while on the go ever again.
The up and down movement from your walking or running creates kinetic energy. The nPower™
PEG:
 harvests kinetic energy to charge handheld electronic devices at the
same rate as a wall charger, which means most devices reach an 80%
charge with just an hour of walking throughout the day.
 is a green technology that literally allows you to create renewable
energy by walking, thus reducing your personal carbon footprint.
 is compatible with over 90% of handheld electronic devices, including
cell phones, MP3 players, handheld gaming devices, handheld GPS,
digital cameras, and more.
 appeals to consumers as 12% of the general population and 33% of ecofriendly
consumers would ‘definitely’ or ‘probably’ purchase according
to recent independent consumer research.
The nPower™ PEG addresses the problem of the world’s increased demand for electricity, and
consumers’ lack of an effective alternative energy option. The initial potential market for the
nPower™ PEG is composed of the 23.2 million Americans who carry handheld mobile electronic
devices and walk for approximately one hour per day. The nPower™ PEG could remove 25.4 million
kilowatts of power from the grid — the collective annual electricity needed to charge 23.2 million cell
phones at 3 watts for one hour per day (approximate amount of power needed annually for 21,000
households).
