    As technology advance, everything get smaller. Smaller cellphone, smaller digital camera, smaller notebook, but charging device, transformer, hasn't get smaller. Everytime when I travel, I find myself carry at least 3 transformer/power adaptor, cellphone's, digial camera's, notebook's. It is quite annoying.

    I just recnetly found out about "iGO".

    suppose to be the "one for all" power adaptor.
    Has anyone try similar product?? Is it "safe" to use for long term? will it cause damage to battery? shortern life??

    iGo is safe yes, Brian (a moderator on this site) wrote a review last year for this product. Here's a link to that:

    Yeah, it's a nice product. They have a newer model out that's even better.

    When I said they had a newer product, I was referring to the 90.

    The iGO is very nice indeed. It's great for charging multiple devices. Unfortuantely, most of the tips don't support other devices like portable hard drives, digital cameras, etc. But it is a lifesaver.

    Kensington also has a very similar product out.
