MY COOL GADGETS

I come across some interesting gadgets traveling around Asia. I thought I would start this page to showcase some of the things I find useful or just too cool. Click on the pics for a bigger view. Take a look……

Solar Charger

These are two models of solar chargers I found in Bangkok. I think they are both from the same company but packaged under different names. Anyway, they are very cool. Inside is a 1600ma lithium battery that stores a charge via the sun or plug in adapter. You can even charge it from your USB port. When your phone, mp3, or camera gets low, you simply plug the solar charger to it, and it will recharge your device. I use it for my iPhone and Chinese phone, but so far I found it works with all gadgets I plug it into. The smaller charger cost me $7.20 and the larger one was $11.40.

Universal Plug Adapter

There are a million styles of these gadgets around. Most of them are really several pieces stuck together and are big and bulky. By the time you figure out which piece to use, you realize you left the piece you need back at the last hotel! Well that all ends with this cool design. Nothing more than a few square inches cube of plastic. One piece with nothing sticking out or requireing seperating into different set ups. Nope, just a simple adapter that will plug anything into anything. Well made and durable….. and at $5.40 you can’t go wrong. You can see from the pics that all the plugs are spring loaded into the body, and release at the touch of a button for use. This is one of my favorites!
