Too. Many. Gadgets. Our lives are filled with em. They don’t operate on endless power, though. These things need to be charged and its easy to forget nowadays. Thanks to the Powerbag you won’t have to worry about losing juice on your iPhone right before needing to find a public restroom again.
Inside the bag is a removable rechargeable battery that’s connected to a dock with 30-pin Apple connector, micro-USB, mini-USB and regular old USB ports attached for charging up just about any gadget. This does add a modicum of weight to the bag, however. Worth it? We say yes.
The whole shebang will set you back around $140. It’s available now. Finally we can be lazy and forgetful in peace!

We’ve written a lot about Burton in the past. The company is back, perhaps with their most innovative product to date. The company’s new gloves perform a dual function: Keeping your hands warm and controlling your everloving iPod.
Burton’s Mix Master gloves stick a wireless controller right inside the glove, thus eliminating the need to remove your fingers from their warm, comforting womb when you want to skip to the next Radiohead song. All you do is plug a small dongle into your iDevice and it pairs up with the music-controlling hand-wear. The rest is, well, magic.
The gloves are available now for around $160. Winter is coming. What are you waiting for?

Apple’s iPhone is great. The only bad thing about it is it doesn’t float in mid-air or store itself. Well, thanks to this new case-clip hybrid called The Move, this may all be about to change.
Here is how it works. You simple tuck the case underneath your clothes, then snap the iPhone into place over your clothes. Voila. Force and pressure do the rest. It will stay in place come rain or shine. Although, if it begins to rain you should probably put that thing away. They are expensive.
The Move is currently just a Kickstarter project, and they’re looking for a cool $25,000 to get themselves some injection molds. A pledge of $25 will get you your own Move just as soon as they begin manufacturing them, which should happen ..read more

So you are leaving the house and forgot to charge your phone. What to do? Not a lot, as it stands. However, thanks to a group of students at the Aalborg University this may soon be a thing of the past.
The crew invented something they call Powertex. The microfibers allow you to charge your device just by affixing the device to it. This means that chairs, walls and even clothing can one day be used to charge your many gadgets. It works using wireless induction. A wire coil generates a magnetic field that is picked up by the receiving end and transformed back into electrical current.
Of course, this is just a lowly concept design but it shows a lot of promise and soon, very soon, we may never miss an ..read more
