The Portable Charging Mat comes with four charging ports and five smart charging plugs, including plugs for the iPod/iPhone, Mini USB, Micro USB, Samsung SCH, and LG Chocolate. Additional charging ports are also available in case your device is not compatible with one of the included plugs. With the Portable Charging Mat, you can easily charge your PDA, mp3 player, cell phone, and another device using a single included AC adapter. Charge4All also offers a car adaptor for charging devices on the road.
New research from iSuppli Corporation claims that accelerometers are expected to appear in one-third of mobile phones shipped next year. Accelerometers detect and measure motion, enabling features such as the automatic rotating of a screen from landscape to portrait mode when you rotate the device.
Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch have called attention to what accelerometers can do. Based on iSuppli’s research, it appears other manufactures are paying attention to the success Apple has had in using this technology. Although we haven’t heard much about PDAs getting accelerometers, it would certainly be a welcome addition.
What do you think? Would an accelerometer entice you to buy one device over another?
BLORGE recently published a list of what it is calling the Top 40 Best Free Palm Apps. They have some good suggestions on the list as well as a good variety.

Still, the list is worth checking out, particularly if you’re interested in finding some new, free software for your Palm PDA.
