iGo, the portable power solution provider, unveiled yesterday a new travel-oriented charger, namely the iGo Charge Anywhere, which is a wall charger that also sports a built-in battery, allowing users to charge their devices wherever they might be, whether they have an outlet to connect to or not.

Compliant with most mobile devices and gaming electronic consoles on the market, the iGo Charge Anywhere provides a means for users to charge two gadgets simultaneously, as well as charging the internal battery that they can later use when far away from an outlet. That's the catch with this device, providing both a wall charger and a "transportable" outlet for increased versatility.

“While we constantly develop new travel-friendly power solutions to simultaneously charge multiple devices, this lightweight charger is designed to be ultra portable for those who are on-the-go, especially while in the air,” said Michael D. Heil, president and chief executive officer of iGo. “This is a terrific power solution for use on airplanes, where travelers are frequently unable to find an outlet to charge their MP3 players, gaming devices, smartphones and other electronic devices that they use during their flights.”

The iGo Charge Anywhere sports collapsible wall blades that quickly fold away so you can easily carry it in your pocket, backpack or shoulder bag. The built-in battery has a capacity of 1800mAh - more than enough to provide three full replenishes for most mobile phones, over a single charge. With the included iGo interchangeable power tips, the charger can connect almost any mobile device to its two USB ports, including BlackBerry, iPhone, Bluetooth headsets, and MP3 players, digital cameras and even gaming devices via the iGo USB cable.

Available at RadioShack and online on the iGo official website, the iGo Charge Anywhere has a price of $49.99. It's a funny thought to have a power outage and see that this is still charging your phone.
