    Newegg is offering the PowerMonkey series of mobile device chargers for some great prices after MIRs are applied.

    Classic is $9.99 after a $50 MIR before shipping and tax.
    eXplorer is $39.99 after a $80 MIR before shipping and tax.
    MIR expires on May 18.
    Items for sale can be found here.

    The Classic is your standard charger, but with lots of provided power adapters and the battery is good for 5-7 phone and small device charges. A more rugged, water resistant system and a solar panel is added to the eXplorer version. Review of the devices can be found here. I think it is an interesting product for those that travel a lot or are out in the field and need to keep a phone, iPod or camera charged, and that is the best price I've ever seen.

    P.S. - First deal post, so be gentle.

    That's a good deal, I'd get one if I didn't HATE MAIL IN REBATES.

    (Not yelling at you. Yelling at rebates. I've gotten back maybe one of about 30 I've ever sent in)

    No worries - I've always had good luck with MIRs, but everyone's mileage will vary. Keeping my fingers crossed...
