Mr.Gadget Australia: Socket Mobile Power Pack : A must for road warriors!

Anyone who wants to be able to charge up their PDA, laptop, mobile phone or MP3 player on the road, must consider the new Socket Mobile Power Pack. We got a batch in today and I quickly set aside one for me to test with my pocketPC (O2 XDA IIs). Process was very straight forward: charged up the Socket Mobile Power Pack, connected up my O2 XDA IIs via a O2 XDA IIs USB Synch 'n' Charge Cable and voila, my pocketPC was steadily charged! This is coming with me to the U.S. on Friday, that's for sure!

Here's a picture of my O2 XDA IIs getting charged by the Socket Mobile Power Pack:
