SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- (Marketwire) -- 05/19/09 -- According to the AAA, 38.8 million Americans
are expected to travel this Memorial
holiday despite the weakened economy, high gas prices and increased
vacation costs. As 84% of those travelers hit the road and 11% fly the
friendly skies, the majority of vacationers carry at least three chargers
for their laptops, phones, iPods and other devices. iGo, the leader in
multi-device chargers, makes packing
lighter, easier and cheaper with major discounts on two core products.
Discounted in time for the travel-heavy
weekend, travelers can save money by purchasing the iGo everywhere85 or
wallMAX from iGo.com. Designed to help travelers stay connected and
entertained while keeping their suitcases light, the interchangeable tips
power multiple devices with one charger. The everywhere85 and the wallMAX
come with an iGo dualpower® accessory to simultaneously power a laptop
plus a mobile phone, smartphone, Bluetooth® headset, MP3 player, handheld
gaming system, digital camera or a GPS system -- in the home/hotel,
automobile or airplane.
-- The everywhere85, with a convenient retractable cord for easy travel
and organization, is discounted from $129.99 to only $59.99.
-- The sleek and slim wallMAX offers dualpower functionality from a wall
for those holiday travelers relaxing at a beach-front hotel or sitting on
Grandma's front porch. Compatible with almost every laptop on the market,
the wallMAX is now discounted by 20% to only $89.99.
-- No promotional code required, which is good through the Memorial
holiday weekend.
"Our multi-device chargers allow travelers to stay connected and
entertained while on the road, in the sky, in a hotel or at a family
members' home," said Michael D. Heil, President and Chief Executive Officer
of iGo. "Instead of carrying a tangled mess of chargers, iGo makes it
possible to charge the whole family's devices wherever their holiday travels take them."
And while traveling requires a simplified
way to power electronic devices, iGo is also a trailblazer for green technology. The new iGo Green(TM) Technology
product line, to be released in stores and online later this summer, will
save both energy and money
for users. Featuring the first green laptop charger, an
eight outlet surge protector and a wall outlet, iGo Green Technology products
automatically use more than 80% less standby power than standard
power products.
