It should be unproblematic : Charge telephone set overnight , wake up with enough stamp battery to last the day ; repeat . Nope . Try more like : Get abode way too recently , top out , closet snooze 748 times the next morning and get to bring at 9:02 either with no earpiece at all or one whose battery now has about 20 precarious minute of juice left before cash in one’s chips yet again .
If the latter sound like you ( it is certainly me ) you may consider peck up aPower Pen , a ballpoint pen / stylus / portable courser three - way thingamabob . It has a 700mAh built - in battery , so about enough to charge your smartphone a third of the way — not a fortune , but certainly enough for an parking brake top - off . It cultivate with any Apple or Android machine with a microUSB or lightning port , so phones , pad of paper , e - readers , speaker and other widget .
sell . Though it ’s deserving noting the Power Pen it ’s just the latest in a hatful of miniskirt - chargers — like theperfectly midget inCharge cablecurrently make its room through Kickstarter — design for irresponsible folk music like myself that ca n’t seem to draw out it together enough to keep a machine powered up for a whole straight day or throw a even charger cable in a bag .
But this one has a twist : It replicate as a piece of writing utensil , in case you a ) still write things by bridge player and b ) have also mislay that . Which let ’s face it you probably have .
you may preorder the Power Pen for $ 40 fromFirebox ; it transport out Dec. 29 .
