DIGIPOWER Unveils Cross-Brand Tablet and Smartphone Charger
I love
gadgets. I wouldn’t be writing for a tech site if I didn’t. If I had more money, I would be swimming in a sea of cell phones and
tablet computers. That would bring with it all sorts of problems, one of which would be the hassle of bringing multiple charge cables on any trips I took. DIGIPOWER looks to solve that problem.
AT CES 2012, the company introduced their new Cross-Brand Tablet and Smartphone Charger, an all-in-one charger that’s equipped to charge USB-powered hardware from major manufacturers like Apple, Samsung, HTC, and Blackberry. The hurdle there is that different products have different power requirements, but DIGIPOWER has solved this by implementing a “Smart Switch” that users can toggle to recognize their device and give it adequate power.
If their new all-in-one works as well as they claim, it could solve a pretty big inconvenience for gadget geeks. The charger is available now and retails for $29.99.

DIGIPOWER INTRODUCES WORLD’S FIRST CROSS-BRAND TABLET AND SMARTPHONE CHARGER
Engineered for optimized charging of USB powered tablets and smartphones from Apple, Samsung, HTC, BlackBerry and more.
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, January 13, 2012—Recognizing that not all chargers work with all USB devices, Mizco International’s DIGIPOWER division today introduced the world’s first cross-brand tablet and smartphone charger. The Cross-Brand Tablet and Smartphone Charger features a simple three-position Smart Switch that allows it to optimally charge USB-powered tablets from major manufacturers such as Apple, Samsung, HTC and BlackBerry. What’s more, it’s also designed to charge USB-powered smartphones with maximum charging efficiency. The charger debuted at Booth #31240 at 2012 International CES in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Providing up to 2.1 amps of power, the Cross-Brand Tablet and Smartphone Charger is capable of rapidly charging any portable USB device a consumer may have, and its super compact design features a convenient flip-up power plug making it ideal for use on-the-go.
“Many tablets and smartphones have different power requirements for charging, which until today meant that each device needed its own charger,” DIGIPOWER President Maurice Mizrahi said. “With our charger’s adjustable Smart Switch, users can set the charger to recognize their device and charge it effectively and with maximum efficiency. Finally, consumers no longer need to carry several chargers with them to charge all of their mobile devices, and retailers only have to carry one SKU to support multiple devices, helping to save space and simplify their business!
“We strive to provide retailers and consumers with the most useful technology innovations that both increase sales and simplify the lives of buyers,” Mizrahi continued. “The Cross-Brand Tablet and Smartphone Charger is our latest achievement in solving the issues associated with today’s mobile lifestyle.”
The ultra-compact charger is available immediately at retailers and online stores with an MSRP of just $29.99. The charger features over-voltage, over-current and short circuit protection, ensuring long life and successful charging every time.
