Sony CycleEnergy portable USB power supply adapter

Sony has unveiled its CycleEnergy portable USB power supply adapter that will see action in the Asia Pacific and Middle East regions from next month onwards, boasting a white minimalist design that might actually be mistaken for a product from Apple instead. This portable USB power supply adapter comes with USB Authentication software that enables instant charging with virtually any compatible USB device such as cellphones, Walkman players, iPod/iPhone players and portable game consoles including the PSP. Apart from that, the device comes with a conventional AC input add on for fast charging. This energy saving device will lower the consumption of rechargeable or disposable batteries in the long run, and even its packaging is environmentally-friendly as it is made of corrugate paper that is easily recyclable. No idea on pricing or whether it will hit the US/Europe market, but it shouldn’t cost more than $50.
