Just ran by the Staples store closest to home to try to pick one of those but they were already out of inventory. I've had the Richard Solo external battery for a while now and it works just fine. But for $20 more I figured I could have an additional battery source for those long overseas flights. I think I'll check out a few more locations before giving up since it's such a great deal.

Did you get the item number for Staples? I've got time and can call all the stores in the area.

Thanks... that would be really nice of you but you know I didn't even inquire about the catalog number. I figured since it was a discontinued item and they were already out of inventory at my local store it would not likely be on file any longer.

I just went to Staples today and found the APC mobile power supply for $15!!
I almost grabbed 2, but I figured I would try it out before making that decision.

I live in RSM, southern OC area in case anyone wants to know what Staples...

Unfortunately no...
They were on a table with a giant for sale sign, and didn't have any staples stickers on them.

My only suggestion is to call into the stores around you and ask if they still have any of the discontinued APC Mobile Power Supply for phones and iPods etc...

Sorry ...

You can try an external battery by Novothink, it has 1500 mAh and if the external battery doesn't provide enough power it has a solar panel so it can charge from the sun. It's the first solar powered charger certified by Apple. They're cheaper than mophie ($69.95) with an added bonus. Pre orders started this month www.solararcadia.com and they're supposed to ship in October.

I just ordered a IMP500 from Amazon for $58.00. I have a flight down to Ecuador on the first, and I have 5.5 hours to kill on the flight.
