What makes the ZAGGsparq ( $99 direct.) genius is its simplicity: It's a portable battery with two full-size USB ports that let you charge any gadget that can charge over USB--no cables and no nonsense. You can charge two devices at once, either while the ZAGGsparq is plugged into an outlet or when it's running on its internal battery. To charge the ZAGGsparq's internal battery, just flip out its prongs, and flip 'em back down when you're done. At maximum capacity, it can store four full charges for an Apple iPhone. And below the USB ports is a power meter: When your press the rubber button at the bottom of the meter, the lights turn on to indicate the amount of charge currently stored. The ZAGGsparq measures 3.5 by 3.5 by 1 inches (HWD) and weighs slightly over half a pound. More images after the jump.
 ' The power meter indicates how much charge is left in the device.  ZAGG clearly took design cues from Apple's Macbook power bricks.

The design cues are taken from Apple, but the build quality is amateurish. The prongs jut out from the brick. The prongs are prone to breaking.

Wow dude, you are an idiot. The prongs are retractable... not to mention how else do you plug something into an electrical outlet?

This looks like a great device for trips. It'll be a possible purchase for me.
