Twenty years ago Portable Power would not have existed as a product category, but now that we've all got a bunch of electronic crap in our jackets and bags, here we are.

For Portable Power winners we've got two products from Callpod, Inc.

The first is the Chargepod, a six-way charging hub that will be much-appreciated by those who frequently stay in hotels; the Chargepod can juice up your celly, laptop and four other gizmos, and it only takes up one plug. Indicator lights over each port let you know the charge status of whatever's being plugged into it.

Callpod's Fuel Tank only charges two devices, but it needs no plug at all, at least not on the road; the rechargeable lithium ion battery, which you power up when you're still at home, can then output approximately seven times the charge needed for the average mobile device. And the Fuel Tank is programmed to detect how much power whatever's plugged into it requires, so you don't have to worry about overcharging.
