My cr-ap motorola phone is exactly why I am thinking about this one. That way when I do get a new phone, I will not have to get all new chargers - just a tip.
Factory price for a replacement power adapter for my HP laptop was $70. I got it for a ‘deal’ off eBay for around $30. To the people saying this is outrageously expensive, you may want to actually look at the price of adapters first…
I have been looking at auto chargers for my iPod since my Belkin charger disassembled itself last week and I haven’t been able to find all of the little pieces wherever they landed in the car. Mostly, I like this one because it will also charge on an airplane. The included case is a nice touch. I picked up extra adapters for my cellphone, camera and PDA as well. My first WOOT!
Will this work in foreign countries?
I am sooooo glad that this did not sell out!!! A HUGE thanks to Woot for this Item!! I usually end up Wooting an average of once a week for the last year now, but this is by far my best overall Woot!!!
I am a road Warrior in the software world, and my briefcase is a mess and weighs alot more because I power so many things.
Laptop (IBM)
Treo 650 PDA/Phone (Work)
Treo Bluetooth Headset
Motorola Razor (Personal Phone - 2nd line)
PSP
Dell MP3
Now, thanks to the Woot and iGo discount, I have everything I need!! A little secret for those getting in late - I got 5 tips at 50% off, and I added the iGo Ice90 notebook charger (normally $100) and got that for about 50% off too!!! So with the Woot deal, and the Ice90, I spent $120 including shipping, and recieved $200 worth of stuff!! When in a hotel, I can now use 2 outlets and charge 5 things!!
Wootastic!!!
omfg funniest wootcast ever.
Yes and No. The iGo 15 wont work out of the box in foreign countries with different plugs UNLESS you purchase the respective AC Outlet Adapter Plug for that particular country.
I don’t know if its already been mentioned, but Radioshack sells this exact same device for twice the price. I work at radioshack and I’m gonna buy one because this price is much better than even my employee discount.
BTW, the bag included works perfectly to store the extra tips.
I have the iGo EveryWhere 7500 which you can use for laptops, but the Everywhere 15 will not. Have used it on the airplane with no problems. Also iGo has great customer service. One of my cables shorted out recently and they sent me a new one for free.
Goodbye woot…
Remember the good old days of woot when there were bizarre and awesome products that you wouldn’t have normally come across. Now its like I’m logging on every night to see an advertisement for an overpriced piece of crap. I don’t lose my power adapters and if i did, they cost even cost $10 to replace. “But you can power everything with just one thing.” No, you can’t. Half my shit isn’t supported at all and the rest I have to get 3 different kinds of iGo for. I’m going shopping elsewhere where I can see more than one over-marketed piece of crap day.
How did you manage that? When I tried that it said the “woot50” promo code was for tips only.
They should have one, just tell them the plug size and the voltage. There are about 5 or 6 common sizes of the usual circular plug.
Maybe if I had an iPod I’d see this differently, but I don’t have any, and don’t plan to buy one either.
Why do my posts keep disappearing? Why is woot taking them down? Can’t stand to have too many posts slamming your product? So much for free speech…
This isn’t a Govt sponsored forum, it’s a privatly owned one, so they make and enforce their own rules.
I’m guessing what you said wasn’t productive and they decided to remove it…

Ok, maybe I dont get it… why are there two “bricks”, so to speak.
I thought it was one unit with one chord that you can plug into the wall and one, that you attach the tip to.
What’s the 2nd one?
I’m a road warrior also, and I could see the potential for this… I wish it was the one that did laptops, however.
I’m so sick of this iFad. When will people realize that putting a lowercase “i” in front of their product name will not make it cool? In fact, I’m not buying this product for the simple reason that it’s jumped on the iGarbage band wagon.
iCan’t believe you’re being so negative. iT’s not becoming.
It seems as though I spend most of my life in a hotel room. (tonight included) I need something that will charge my laptop, nano, cell phone, hands free device, electric shaver, all at once because I can never find more than one outlet in the damned hotel room.
LOL! I stayed up, saw this, and played Everquest II. I was so mad I couldnt go to bed. Woot selling things I dont want is one thing, but things that suck is another. Lost track of time and cracked open a beer 10 minutes before I had to leave. Woot is messing me up by having me on a weird schedule.
When I lose a transformer, usually all the device details are on the transformer and not the unit. I have a neat device that I have no idea how many volts it takes & cant see any markings inside on the breadboard. I do know if I’m about ±2v it will be junk though…so the iGo will be nothing but an iGamble and might iSuck
Good thing I’m still mad at them. woot-crack kills though.
