CES 2008: Energi To Go Portable Power for iPod

Amongst the announcements of phones, HD everything and bigger, better, brighter, there are also launches that are less sexy but a lot more useful. Such a one is Energizer's Energi To Go Portable Power for iPod.

It's a travel charger: basically, you stick two AA Lithium batteries inside, and it can then charge your iPod (fourth or fifth generation), iPod Nano (first or second generation) or your iPod Mini. As a guide, you can expect it to provide two full charges for an 80GB iPod Video (that's 32 hours of music playback or 12 hours of video playback). On a Nano, it'll supply three full charges - 46 hours of music playback.

Energizer reckons the sleek design will appeal to iPod-heads. It'll cost $29.99 in the US when it goes on sale this month, and although a retail price for the UK is unconfirmed, the device IS going on sale in Blighty this month too.
