Mobile charger wins top Computex award

Computex, the other international mobile device trade show, launched today in Taipei, Taiwan, and will no doubt keep the tech-news hungry occupied for the rest of the week. Part of the day's launch events was the presenting of the 2012 Computex Best Choice Award, the top honor at the show. This year, Innergie won the award for its PocketCell mobile device charger. The device offers a simple and elegant solution to two of the biggest problems in today's mobile-drive world: running out of batter power and not having the right cord to charge your device. Says P.S. Tang, senior director of Innergie, "the PocketCell packs a 3000 mAh rechargeable battery bank into its 72 gram frame, and can extend an iPhone’s talk time to more than 25 hours. It's chipset can figure out what kind of device its recharging power is coming from through the  2.1 amp fast-charging USB port and adjust how the power flows."
