But do they really work? There are a lot of mixed reviews circulating the web right now, with about 95% of people claiming that it is an absolute scam. While I don't believe in it, I also wonder why it would sold on the Apple website through their App Store. The app claims to be a full featured battery MANAGEMENT app. Not an app that willl instantaneously charge your phone by the push of a button. Surprised Steve Jobs didn't come up with that one.

Well, this apps main functions are to educate you on your battery's maintenance and routine management. It teaches you the absolute best amount of  time to charge your phone to provide optimal battery usage. It also tells you about your battery's health? It's hilarious that a phone batteries health is something that concerns most people in society… but it's TRUE! Who are you without your phone? What can you possibly do without it?

If i were you, I wouldn't get this app, but if you're willing to give it a go, I would also recommend it because it's not like it's going to deplete your battery. If you don't like it, delete it. It only cost you 99c!

NBC's "The Trend" segment highlights cool emerging technology for people and businesses alike. The host, Mekhalo Medina, invited Jeffrey Maganis on the show to talk about the best selling device.

NBC's Mekahlo Medina: "This is something we've all dealt with. We're on our phone, we're at a mall, out shopping, or maybe at a nightclub and your cell phone battery just goes completely dead. Well there's a solution to all of that called ChargeAll. It was created by a 26 year old guy from the OC.

Here's how it was actually used at Coachella (highlights Coachella cell phone charging station). Yes, certainly used by a lot of folks there. Jeffrey Maganis is joining us right now, he's the CEO and founder to talk a little more about the device. We're going to start off first with what is it exactly."

Here's how it was actually used at Coachella (highlights Coachella cell phone charging station). Yes, certainly used by a lot of folks there. Jeffrey Maganis is joining us right now, he's the CEO and founder to talk a little more about the device. We're going to start off first with what is it exactly."

Jeffrey Maganis: "It's a charging station that's being used in different hotels, restaurants, bars, coffee shops. I was one of the people saying 'My Cell Phone Died' and I came up with the solution a couple years ago.

Mekahlo Medina: It's an easy solution because what it has is basically every single type of charger that you can think of. We're going to zoom in here.

Jeffrey Maganis: "Everything from the Apple iPhone and Android to Amazon Kindle and even Nintendo DS. 

Mekahlo Medina: "How did you come up with the actual solution to this?"

Jeffrey Maganis: "Actually, I went on google and searched 'How to Make Cell Phone Charger Overseas' and one thing lead to another and now it's actually manufactured out of one of the same factory as Apple's chargers.

Mekhalo Medina: "One of the cooler things about this is that Jeffrey's 26 years old and he's got this thing in all types of different places, different coffee shops and even hotels."

Jeffrey Maganis: "Right So here's a cafe that actually uses ChargeAll. So basically, business owners like the idea of having free cell phone charging stations similar to free wifi. A great way to keep your guests longer and happier and also attract more customers.

Mekhalo Medina: "One of the cool things that I actually like about this is that not only is this a 26 year old's invention but you've got the family involved.

Jeffrey Maganis: (Laughing) 

Mekhalo Medina: "Including your mom. She was at the event where I actually met you. She's actually packaging these things right?"

Jeffrey Maganis: "Right, right. So I'm literally a one man entrepreneurial business but I couldn't be more grateful to my mom who helps with packing, shipping, and even putting stickers on the charging station.

Mekhalo Medina: "Once again, you gotta love a great OC mom. Once again ChargeAll. How much is it again quickly?:

Jeffrey Maganis: "$20 for the wall charger version and $50 for the charging station."

Mekhalo Medina: "Very cool guys right? Yeah! They like it!"

NBC News Hosts: "And we like it even more that you're a local boy. Kudos to you, it's a great idea and the price is right."

Mekhalo Medina: "And we'll put more details on our page NBC LA."

You would expect that with technology like this, life would be sustainable right now. Does the charger work on bumpy, rutty, steep mountain bike paths, you ask? It works like some kind of James Bond gadget. It's smooth, sly, and probably the way you would enter a woman's here. "Hey baby, look how sustainable I am with technology."

Here's the 101 on Bike2Power:

1. It takes a little more energy to pedal the bike with the SpinPower unit engaged, but I must emphasize the “a little.” And after all, you’re out there to get exercise, aren’t you? So what’s a little extra exertion?

2. If your phone is idle, you will actually see the charge indicator inching up throughout your ride. However, if you use a GPS-enabled mapping app while on the trail, you will see the available charge remain about the same or even possibly go down just a little bit over time. But without the SpinPower, you’ll see your phone juice depleting rapidly. GPS units are power hogs. My guess is that if you were on the trail, with your GPS going, you’d probably still have power left at the end of your ride. Whereas without the SpinPower unit, you’re likely to run out of power.

See the power of a charged phone?

Wireless charging is a great concept, but isn't practical for everyday use. These flashy power mats are now being integrated into cars. Chrysler has announced a new conductive charging system for the 2013 Dodge Dart. The charging mat comes built into the car's center console, and will only work with a special phone case, which Chrysler says there will be available for a variety of smartphones. The system uses conductive charging much like what you'd find in pads made by Wildcharge, and will start charging your phone once the car is turned on. The price of the in-car mat is $199.99, with the case included – however, that price doens't include installation. Why not just get a car charger from BuyChargeAll for $19??? This new instillation is cool… but it's just to charge your phone – something that can be done with a $19 charger.

Chrysler has not announced how much separate phone cases will cost as of now. Chrysler's solution is proprietary, so it won't be compatible with existing brands like Powermat or Qi. The word is that GM has been promising a similar feature for vehicles like the Chevy Volt for some time, after it invested $5 million into powermat at the beginning of 2011. However, its solution would use inductive charging, which requires the charger and gadget to be aligned, making it a bit more of a headache for a moving vehicle. Chrysler's system will only be available on the Dart for now, which will be launching in the second quarter of this year. 

There are only three rules to Coachella. Write them on your forehead now so you don't forget.

Coachella 2012 Rule Number 1:

Coachella ChargeAll Testimonial

Charlotte M. – "CRAZY and AMAZING! Coachella definitely lived up to its reputation. One of the coolest things about the event was obviously the air conditioned VIP area and the FREE cell phone charging stations they had there. I called it my rest and recharge zone. These ChargeAll cell phone charging stations were great because I didn’t have to sit in the activities tent with the other hundreds of people trying to charge their phones. Being in the desert in an area packed with 70,000 people and everyone trying to use the same cell phone connections caused my phone to die very easily. Call ChargeAll my lifesaver if you will. Thanks to the phone charging stations I was able to keep in contact with all my friends, take pictures and videos of the shows, and keep up to date on my emails, not to mention check the Coachella app for all the latest set times. Thank you Golden Voice and Coachella for an unforgettable experience.

Coachella 2012 Rule Number 2:
DO NOT HUMP TREES

Yes, if #ultratreehumpinggirl had a charged cell phone, her friends would've known she was missing and she wouldn't be the laughing stock of the internet. Another great Coachella Music Festival camping tip is to download the Google Latitude App (Think of it as a creepy 24/7 location monitoring tool to know where your friends are at all times). There's also the official Coachella App to make sure you're always aware of the latest set times and campground layout. Please make sure your cell phone is charged and you don't end up like this girl, because…. WE WILL MAKE FUN OF YOU.

Coachella 2012 Rule Number 3:
LEARN HOW TO PUT ON YOUR SANDALS

Tying a shoe? HARD. Putting on a sandal? EASY. Except for THIS GUY. Make sure you don't end up like him. The only way to avoid this is to make sure you're always with your friends, unless your friends are equally as talented at putting on a sandal.

About ChargeAll

ChargeAll is making sure you’re always charged and always ready. ChargeAll provides free cell phone charging stations for everything from restaurants and bars to hotels and coffee shops. This must have cell phone charger features 10 tips in 1 and fast charge technology, ChargeAll literally works with thousands of devices from the Apple iPhone and Android to Amazon Kindle and Nintendo DS; it's perfect for everyone and everywhere. With a viral social media presence through its website my http://mycellphonedied.com, they understand what it’s like to have your cell phone die when you need it the most. ChargeAll’s event team sponsors and provides free cell phone charging stations for trade shows, conventions, concerts and even marathons.

In Berlin, Germany, while skiers and snowboarder’s alike whiz down the slopes, intertwining with each other’s paths, their headsets, and headphones do not. Think how exponentially dangerous it would be to have skiers and snowboarders be on their phones and listening to their ipods through tangled headphones. Now there's a new ski helmet that will help you keep in touch on the go.

The Fraunhofer Institute in Berlin has developed a device that will allow skiers to use their MP3 players and smartphones without having to worry about how to keep them charged.

In cooperation with partners TEXSYS and the Technical University in Berlin, they have invented a solar helmet that harnesses the rays of the sun to power these now-essential gadgets.

Their helmet encompasses a revolutionary curved solar cell on its top surface and incorporates a headphone and microphone, which can be linked wirelessly to portable devices.

There is a large organic LED light) display and simple buttons allow users to adjust volume or take incoming calls, without having to take off the glove in freezing temperatures.

This device can also be used for GPS purposes which can come in handy for mountain-rescue teams.
And the cells could be fitted into other types of helmets, for example, those worn by motorcyclists or fire fighter.
It even works when it’s cloudy. This big solar cell produces a lot of energy. When the sun shines directly on it, it has more energy than all these applications require. So if it’s cloudy or snows, it still functions well.

That means that on sunny days, once the skiing is done, there is so much energy left in the helmet that it can still be used to charge phones and MP3 players back home.

The Fraunhofer Institute and its partners have already come up with a prototype and plan to release the first commercial product by the end of the year.

It won’t be cheap, with the first helmets expected to retail at around 300 euros ($400). But you can’t put a price on a charged-up phone.

The weekend has come. The weekend that can be dubbed greater than Christmas, Easter, and quite possibly the creation of the universe. Brace yourself, the weekend of Coachella has arrived. We have compiled a list of tips you should pay heed to in order to survive Coachella. And by survive, I mean you don’t have a viral video of yourself posted worldwide of you humping a tree.

1. HAVE A CHARGED PHONE AT ALL TIMES – This festival is huge, you need your friends or people may let you get too acquainted with a tree and post viral videos of you that will inevitably ruin the future and give you the label of #ultratreehumpinggirl. But now you must be wondering, well how am I going to have a charged phone while living in the desert with the most basic amenities of life stripped away from me? Well, this year Coachella will be providing Free Cell Phone Charging Stations that are open to the public, so – there will be no excuse for you to be humping a tree.

2. Have A Gameplan – Coachella is a huge festival. Make a plan of who you want to see and when they are playing. Don’t expect it to not be hectic and not to be pushed around, but you will. Embrace it. Keep a printed out copy of the map and the set list ready.

3. Book A Place To Stay Early – Be sure you know where you want to stay before you head to Coachella. From first-hand experience – going with the usual “well we’ll just see how it goes” agenda DOESN’T WORK. The tents become similar to that of a refugee camp and you see lone stranglers trying to find a place to sleep for the night. Just picture the #WalkingDead in real life.

4. Don't Drive In To The Festival – The parking lot at coachella and the traffic back ups that happen in it are worthy of legend. Stories of 5-8 hour waits, stand stills and poorly marked sections and more should be enough to make you look for alternative options. If you don’t want to be trapped in your car for the duration of the show, do NOT drive in to the festival.

4. Don't Be An Idiot - Yes, it is an event, and yes, you are in the desert, but that doesn’t give you leeway to act like an idiot. The cops will be expecting to put up with some of your drunken antics, but as we all know, cops are assholes. Just, be smart when you’re partying if you don’t want to be taken to jail.

5. Dress For The Desert – If you know anything about deserts you would know that the weather is extremely temperamental. Deserts get way hot by day and very cold by night. We're talking upper 80's by day and lower 50's at night. Definitely pack extra clothes you can layer on at night.

6. Go With A Group – Don't Be Afraid To Split Up Partying and concerts are always more fun when you are with a group of friends but don't be scared to split up for a while and go check out stuff they aren't into. Make a meeting spot and pick a time then venture into the crowds. Chances are you will meet some cool new people to boot. Know how you will do this? BY USING THE FREE CHARGING STATIONS.. cool! Dada Life…. More like…phone battery life. Know what else is “ded” other than Zed? His phone.

Two of the trendiest restaurants in Los Angeles are now using ChargeAll charging stations. Fuku Burger and Pink Taco are some of the first restaurants in the area to offer free cell phone chargers to their guests. It has been a tremendous success so far, and the customers at both restaurants are very happy with the new amenities. Chad Weiner, of Pink Taco said, “Customers are ecstatic that we have the ability to charge their cell phones”.

Staying innovative and offering cutting edge amenities are always on the mind of restaurant owners. It's no surprise, just how important cell phones are. The addition of these cell phone chargers into bars and restaurants is really inevitable and just a natural and logical progression of restaurant trends. Pink Taco and Fuku burger are the frontrunners to what will eventually be in every single restaurant, lounge, bar, coffee shop and probably nail salon. Pink Taco and Fuku Burger are evidence these cell phone chargers are something that everyone needs. People rely on cell phones for all different aspects of their life; personal and work. It's a vital part of our day. Weiner also said, “ChargeAll fits in perfectly with the atmosphere of Pink Taco, It’s a restaurant as well as a bar and when people come for happy hour after work they get a drink and charge their cell phones”.

So far the addition of the ChargeAll stations in Los Angles restaurants has been a big success we hope to see more of these soon.

The taxi cab of the future has been in the news recently. Known as the Nissan NV200, the new taxi will roll out in 2013 and features overhead lamps, antibacterial upholstery, moon roofs and phone charging outlets…. wait… did you say phone charging outlets? Yes! Pretty cool right? But who carries around a cell phone charger with them? Whats the point of having a phone charging outlet if you dont have a cell phone charger or cell phone charging station to go with it?

Solution? Putting actual cell phone chargers in these taxi cabs for people to use! But what if everybody has different cell phones, no problem, use a universal cell phone charger. If every taxi cab had a ChargeAll can imagine where people would go when they need to charge their phone? It's a genius idea since there isn't a major restaurant chain that has adopted cell phone charging stations yet. Let your voice be heard and ask your local restaurant, bar, coffee shop and now taxi driver if they offer ChargeAll, the 10 in 1 fast cell phone charger that's perfect for people on the go. People need a solution to the ever growing "My Cell Phone Died" problem, just ask our 21K followers on Twitter.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg says the taxi was designed from the inside out to become the safest, most comfortable, most passenger friendly cab to ever ride in New York.

The new vehicle is not a hybrid electric car though which requires electric charging stations. Other cities are catching on to going green.

In 2010, Los Angeles began an initiative to make 80 percent of the taxi fleet greener by 2015, and in Boston a federal judge struck down a mandate in 2009 that would require a complete switch to hybrid vehicles. The problem in the infrastructure is setting up electric car charging stations throughout the city to support these vehicles.
