Gomadic Double Chargers With Tip Exchange Technology Review
October 26th, 2006 Jason Dunn
“Over the last year I have grown incredibly spoiled when I travel because I no longer need to pack a tangle of “spaghetti”; instead, I bring along a set of Gomadic Charging Cables. The same single cable charges my PDA, mobile phone and digital music player. It can charge Steve’s phone, Sarah’s phone, and Sarah’s digital music player, too; all it takes is the proper tip for each particular device. For those unfamiliar with Gomadic, I’ll state the premise in a nutshell: They sell cables with plugs on their ends which will accept their specially made tips; these tips fit many of today’s popular consumer mobile devices. Gomadic’s “Tip Exchange Technology” means that the same cable can be used for years - and as devices are added to the user’s collection, new tips can be purchased to swap out with the old.”
We all deal with battery life issues (check out my review of this big laptop battery) with our Windows Mobile devices, and coming up with a system to always keep things charged up and ready to go can be challenging. USB-based sync and charge cables help greatly, but what if you have devices that all require different heads? This system that Judie reviewed looks like it solves that problem - I’ll have to look into it more carefully…in the meantime, check out Judie’s excellent review!
