It would seem Ecosol has upgraded its PowerStick, at least cosmetically. The new slim down version has a more plastic feel to it, while holding the same amount of electric charge. We suppose this helps to lower the MSRP to $59.99, $10 less than before. For those who haven't heard of the PowerStick, it's essentially an all-in-one universal USB charger bundled with no less than 9 connectors to hook up to your iPhone, Palm Treo, BlackBerry or any portable electronics that feed power through a micro-USB or mini-USB connection. Most of us in reality would need to bring about 2 to 3 jacks on the go. The PowerStick can fully recharge its 750mA Li-ion battery through a standard USB port in 90 minutes. Once it is charged up, the dongle still stop draining power from the computer, unlike traditional chargers. There's about a billion charges sold every year, and when we leave them plugged in our phones over night, the chargers will consume standby power. The company claims the general idea behind the PowerStick is to reduce the need for multiple proprietary chargers, and to efficiently manage our mobile power need, hence saving our planet resource for other purposes.
