Thanks for the review. It's helpful. However, there are some details missing. For example, can this device be used for non-Apple products? Would it charge a Sansa Fuze or a Sansa Clip or Creative MP3 player or a Kindle?

Also, do you know what amperage and voltage is provided by the USB ports? Is it 500 milliamps? 1 amp? 2 amps? And if it is 1 amp, for example, is that 1 amp divided across the two USB ports if you plug in two devices? Do you get 1 amp on each port or only half an amp on each port? If you plug in two devices, do they charge slower than plugging in one at at time?

You mention electrical outlets in the US, Europe, and Britain, but that is a small part of the world for travellers these days. It would be better to specify which type of plugs it has to see if it will work in Asia or Africa or South America, Australia, New Zealand, etc.

You mention the Off/On light and the Indicator lights being helpful, but you don't specify what those are. How is an Off/On light different from an Indicator light? What information do these lights give you?

Thanks for any other information you can provide!

you will find all the product range from our website, there is a special convertor that converts the voltage as some of you have requested and use in 150 countries around the world. We have the pa-ppi-380 (above) which has 2 usb ports, the pa-ppi-350 for those who just 1 usb port, and the convertors for the american market, for wholesale, and distribution enquiries please contact sam@storagenetworksolutions.co.uk OEM packaging offered.

Right after leaving my last comment I decided to go back to mophie website and the pre-order page is back up again. I just ordered mine so hopefully it won’t be too much longer before I have it in hand

The new mophie juice pack 3g should be out in september. A few days ago I was browsing the mophie website and saw they had the new juice pack 3g on the site with some pictures and available for preorder. I couldn’t actually create a preorder because you couldn’t select the color.

I create a blog on this with the pictures if you are interested in checking it out: http://whenwillapple.com/saywhy/2008/07/30/mophie-juice-pack-3g-preorder/

JR, Looks like it can handle it but I don’t know if it will step down the voltage. The picture of the adapter on its back, and upside down, has some writing on it. Seems to day 100v-250v,

Almost everything with the little box that plugs into the wall (i.e. iPod chargers), or a regular plug with a box somewhere along the line(i.e. most laptop chargers), will convert the voltage. The output voltages are usually only between 3-10 volts as opposed to 120 volts in the US, or 240 most other places. The “box” that plugs in, or along the cord, will usually say “input: 120-240v, 50-60hz” which means it’ll convert the power, however some don’t seem to say they’ll convert the whole range, just the voltage they were designed for.

Does it actually convert the voltage or does your charger/device need to be able to convert it? If not, I didn’t know that the iPhone can be plugged into different voltage outlets. That’s pretty handy.

I think you can find cheaper ones just like this one above without the usb charging port at electronic stores. http://blabtech.blogspot.com
