Mainly a rechargeable external battery pack. PowerMoney isn't available in the States though is it. Either way you can get similar to PowerMoney in the states. The only difference I see here is that the power plug is built-in to the unit and folds in for travel. The fit and finish also looks nicer then most products. Most of the other options require two cables. One for power to wall and one to device. Eliminating the power cord seems nicer, at least for traveler. Problem is what if the plug is recessed, or there is a wall warn in the other jack, you might have trouble plugging this large item into the same wall outlet.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeremy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 15th 2009 3:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Technocel PowerPak pulls double duty as portable battery and home charger]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/technocel-powerpak-pulls-double-duty-as-portable-battery-and-hom/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/technocel-powerpak-pulls-double-duty-as-portable-battery-and-hom/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's been done before by philips as well.

It has saved me so many times when it came to my phone dying in weird situations. I usually get 3-5 full charges for my iPhone.

It's on the pricy side ($150) but it comes in a nice leather case.<br><br><a href="http://www.tumi.com/product/product-detail/?modelId=134641&searchTerms=mobile%20power%20pack" rel="nofollow">http://www.tumi.com/product/product-detail/?modelId=134641&searchTerms=mobile%20power%20pack</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[GM]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 16th 2009 1:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Technocel PowerPak pulls double duty as portable battery and home charger]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/technocel-powerpak-pulls-double-duty-as-portable-battery-and-hom/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/technocel-powerpak-pulls-double-duty-as-portable-battery-and-hom/</guid><description><![CDATA[Now I wish I would have waited to buy that Palm Pre extended battery...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[youdumcat]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 21st 2009 4:51PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
