Tom’s Turn The Table pick is the Powerstick Portable USB Charger Device Duo. Yes, you may know about the Powerstick, but the Duo adds built in memory to its charging ability. The Powerstick Duo’s charging ability is the same as the stand-alone unit. Charge it in any USB port and take it with you on the go. It’s about the size of a stick of gum and weighs only about 1.25 ounces. When battery power on your device starts to run out, connect it to the Powerstick. That’s after find the proper adaptor for your device from the nine that are included. When they’re hooked up press the button on the Powerstick and charging starts. The company says that the Powerstick doubles the battery life of most devices. The new feature is the built in memory. You can now not only carry a mini device charger, but a memory stick as well. It’s available with 2, 4 or 8 GB Memory. The battery capacity is 750mAh, so it’s not a powerhouse, but it is an easy-to-carry battery back up solution. List price of the 8GB memory/charger Powerstick is $94.50, but I did a web search and found it for under $60 here:
