Charges 2 usb devices at the same time. Ideal for MP3 players, PDAs, etc that are recharged via USB.


Esprit Esbrella (Umbrella with box)

• UV Protected
• Ultra Light
• Aluminium/FRP Frame
• Premium Polyester Cover

It's small, light and it comes in a box! To illustrate how small it is, let me compare it with a normal short umbrella against a A5 piece of paper.

Interesting Discoveries

Energizer has released an instant cell phone charger powered by 2 AA Lithium batteries. They also have a rechargable USB charger - a rather innovative product I should say.

Who says a company cannot make money by selling variations of the same product? Look at Canon - they sell hundreds of models of cameras for decades and are only getting more successful at it. Building up expertise, experience, industrial momentum, and commercial reputation are what makes a company successful. Foraying into distinct and unrelated products on the other hand, erodes consumer confidence as well as R&D/marketing momentum.
