Tue, May 19, 2009 iGo: Pack Light With iGo(R) This Memorial Holiday Weekend
SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwire - May 19, 2009) - 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™ 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.
