"Planes, Trains and Automobiles" may be a good name for a funny movie, but it also is a good description of where you can power up most any device with the iGo everywhere 130 power adapter. At a street price of under $140, the unit proves to be an affordable accessory for anyone who needs to charge a battery or run a portable device while on the road.

The iGo power brick is about the size of most notebook computer power bricks and supports multiple incoming voltages. The company provides two power cords--one for standard wall outlets and one for power-enabled airline seats and power outlets found in cars, boats and RVs.

The unit powers and charges a notebook computer plus a mobile electronic device such as a mobile phone or MP3 player--even at the same time--and uses rapid charge technology for a fast charge. The real magic of the iGo everywhere comes from the tips--no not suggestions on how to use it, but on the tips that connect the charger to a device. The company offers dozens of tips for a variety of devices, ranging from all of the major notebook computers to popular PDAs, MP3 players and even cell phones.

The iGo everywhere comes in an attractive package that includes some standard tips and even a nifty little carrying bag for the various cords and connectors. The unit is lightweight and doesn't get too hot when in use and can easily be thrown into a computer bag.

Most travelers will find the device a convenient value, as no longer will they have to carry or pay for multiple chargers for use in autos, aircraft or RVs.
