Nice, this would make an interesting review. I had a glimpse of it yesterday afternoon and it looks pretty sleek and modern, let us know if you need any help with regards to the testing procedure. :P

Interesting product there, just took a look on the company's website. I'm hoping for pictures ASAP.

Those photos might need a touch up in terms of color balance. Otherwise, the photo police is satisfied with the photos. :P

Yep, it requires a bit more editing. Talk to Kenneth about it on how to fix it in Photoshop (But most photos we do are normally naturally good with minor curve enhancements) over the weekend if he's available. I'm off to camp :P

I'll be working with you for a while over the weekend. I've lent the Power Fort to my brother, who also happens to be going to the same camp Posted Image So I'll have more to write in this review Posted Image

You could charge it through the computer. I'm not totally sure if you can charge it with a wall charger though.No, charger time of the Choiix doesn't equal drain time. It depends on which devices you are using. Larger devices like PDAs I would presume it would only charge once (max maybe twice), but MP3 players like an iPod could charge a couple more times (2-3, maybe 4).

Yeah let us know about quantified results :P Haha your brother probably didn't use it much, but Candice's (One of our counselor's) iPhone 3GS got drained so that thing came in handy.

2.5 times - that's pretty good. I'm surprised and I never thought of getting one of these.

Realistically if you have an iPhone or something and you're off to somewhere with power outlets not readily available, I think it's a good thing. Meaning that you can run your iPhone or whatever 3.5x (An extra 2.5x) normal. :P

I checked up on the Cooler Master site and it says it's "not available" for sale. However, when I searched it up on pricebat.ca ( http://www.pricebat.....x=0&search.y=0 ) it sells at $49.99 CAD for the standard version at NCIX and $59.99 CAD for the advanced version also at NCIX. Of course, there are other sites that sell for more.

I haven't really looked into other portable chargers so I can't really tell you much about them.
