Lenmar PowerPort keeps smartphones going

Lenmar Enterprises's new PowerPort is the essential power accessory for the iPhone and any other USB enabled smartphone.

The slim, pocket-sized PowerPort is a powerful cordless charger that can recharge the iPhone in about two hours. As an external battery, it can double iPhone usage time between charges, for up to 16 hours of talk time or 12 hours of Internet use. It is ideal for use during long flights, car trips and outdoor activities when you don't want to run out of power for calls, email, music, video and games. The PowerPort will power or charge any cell phone, PDA, media player or game device using a USB connection, including such popular portable devices as the iPhone, iPod, PSP, Motorola RAZR/KRZR and Blackberry. A fully-charged PowerPort can provide up to five complete recharges for these devices or up to 50 hours of instant back-up power.

"I love my iPhone, but the battery doesn't last long enough to get me through my busy day," says Marty Goldberg, president of Lenmar. "As a second battery, the PowerPort keeps my iPhone going twice as long between charges. It's light and thinner than even the thinnest cell phone, so it's easy to carry when I can't afford to have my iPhone run out of power."

The PowerPort can be recharged via any USB port (including laptop computers) or via optional AC or DC chargers. It comes in white or rubberized black finish and the MSRP is $49.95. It can be purchased at Radio Shack and Fry's stores, as well as online at radioshack.com, sears.com, and staples.com.
