iGo(R) Already Offers Universal Power Chargers for All Devices

SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwire - June 30, 2009) - In response to Europe's recent announcement that major cellphone manufacturers have agreed to produce phones that all use one universal charger in 2010, iGo says, "Why wait?" iGo, a leading provider of portable power management, has been offering universal power chargers since 1995 and has made easy power-up solutions available to consumers for all of their devices, not just cellphones.

"Consumers do not have to wait for manufacturers around the world to change their phone designs in order to enjoy the practicality of universal power chargers," said Michael D. Heil, president and chief executive officer of iGo. "We look forward to the day there is such an agreement but, in the meantime, iGo offers a realistic solution to people's power needs that also helps reduce e-waste by enabling consumers to use just one charger for every device they own."

iGo's power solutions allow everyone to have one charger for all of their devices. By simply swapping the patented iGo tips on their charger, consumers can charge everything including cellphones, laptops, cameras, MP3 players, GPS units and more. Compatible with almost every device on the planet and with the ability to charge devices at home, in the office, in the car or in the plane, iGo is the only existing replacement for every device charger.

iGo has always kept the planet's future in mind with its universal charger concept and, more recently, has introduced the market's first charger-specific recycling program. Taking conservation even farther, iGo will be introducing the world's first power products that actively and automatically reduce standby power (or "vampire power") by over 85% versus standard products, saving both energy and money. The products that incorporate the iGo Green Technology™ include the first green laptop charger, an eight-outlet surge protector and a wall outlet.
