CES 2013: Nectar Brookstone – an unusual charger for iDevices

  La CES 2013 some interesting accessories were presented, however Brookstone Nectar it definitely falls into the category of the unusual. The device promise to charge our iDevices without using a power source, but to do this it uses energy cells that cost $10 apiece. These cells have the capacity to charge an iPhone approximately 10 times, theoretically offering 2 weeks of autonomy, according to the manufacturers. The device itself costs $300, and the energy cells are $10 each, but what they offer is really interesting.

nectar™ is the world's first truly portable power system. After inserting a pod, any USB 2.0 compatible CE device can have 2 weeks to a month of mobile power. Unlike other back-up batteries or recharging devices, nectar does not need to ever be plugged into a wall outlet. Today's consumer electronics devices are more power-hungry than ever. A dead battery means important missed calls and emails, no GPS when you're lost, no e-reader on your train ride, no communication in an emergency, and an overall feeling of dread and anxiety. Lilliputian has the cure, nectar™- the world's first truly portable power device that will power all of your CE devices for up to a month with a single power pod.

  Most similar devices are available at similar prices, Brookstone Nectar it differs only in the way it provides energy, but at the price of $300 I don't think there will be many people interested in it.
