XtremeMac today announced two new iPod power solutions—the InCharge Traveler global charging kit and the MicroPack portable battery and media dock.
The InCharge Traveler kit ($80) includes four plug adapters and a wall unit that automatically switches between 120V and 240V outlets, as well as a 12V car adapter and an empower adapter for use on airliners. The kit comes in a travel pouch and is compatible with all dock connector iPod models (4G and later).
The MicroPack ($100; Sept.) features a built-in Lithium–Polymer battery that provides iPods with up to 80 hours of audio playback or up to 8 hours of video playback. The dock also offers A/V line out, dual headphone jacks and volume controls, and can be used to sync an iPod with your computer using USB or Firewire.
