Philips' new Power2Charge and Power2Go lines tout "Power4Life"

Philips hopes to put an end to the chaos of having a different charger for every device you own, but unfortunately the "solution" includes eight different confusing product options to get that juice to your gadgets. The new Power2Charge line consists of five different chargers, two for plugging into you car, and three plugging into the wall. The Power2Charge line flagship is the SCM7880, which includes the universal USB charging kit of its buddies, six connector tips, and fifteen extra hours of battery for up to 5V of power. If a portable battery is more your style, Philips' Power2Go line, headed by the pictured SCE7640, includes power packs across the board, all the way up to 21V and 60 hours. Both the Power2Charge and Power2Go lines include some snazzy looks and LED charge indicator lights, but it remains to be seen if these things can indeed rescue us from charger hell.

Who was the editor that wrote this article and the one above? Apparently they have some difficulty remembering how to spell "your", it's "your" not "you". Thought I'd pick up on this for you guys......"two for plugging into you car".

Dear GOD.

Pull the article Engadget! I can't possibly read something with such horrific spelling errors!

Judging from the grammer, it looks like one of the "chinese engadget editors" found their way onto the wrong side of the server.

Judging by your spelling you've got no right to comment. Since when is it "Grammer"? It's "Grammar".

OmG @ KurtMacD.

Its "grammar", not "grammer".

Can someone explain to me how the hell this thing works? Can this charge all my devices? How is it going to charge my phone (W810i) with it's proprietary charger? Why is it box shaped?

I really don't understand this device.

"fifteen extra hours of battery for up to 5V of power" is meaningless. First, its a constant 5v power supply, and second, the battery life depends on the current being drawn. A more useful figure would have been the mAh of the internal battery.

Dang bobby, you beat me to it.

Ring me when they've got a direct methanol fuel cell in that puppy.

er, why cant they just put a mini-usb on everything, then at least they could be charged from a pc.

[alexdodd @ Aug 31st 2007 7:10AM]

So it can charge all of my things but only one at a time, what if i want to charge my laptop/phone/gps/camera etc all at once? I'd have to get those old fashioned chargers back out...?
