Nobody pukes.
Imagine having the power to recharge your devices strapped to your wrist – wouldn’t it be useful?
Well no, not really. But that’s what you get with the Orca PowerStrap: capable of charging up all manner of handheld devices, from iPhone and Blackberry to the PSP and Nintendo DS.
Chunky. And yet it does have that illuminated LED charge-meter. Which will surely elicit gasps of delight from passers-by.
