iGo is a brand of power adapters, portable keyboards and other mobile accessories. They are distributed online at www.iGo.com and from retailers including Best Buy, Brookstone airport stores, CompUSA, RadioShack and others.
iGo power adapters utlize interchangeable power tips to allow the user to power and charge all their mobile devices from one adapter. Currently, the iGo power adapters can charge thousands of devices including notebook computers, mobile phones, Bluetooth headsets, smartphones/PDA, MP3 players (iPods), portable gaming devices (PSPs and Game Boys), digital cameras and portable GPS systems. The users can select individual power tips for all of their devices and power adapters that work wherever they want to power - such as from the wall, car, airplane or batteries.
iGo recently acquired Think Outside and their line of Bluetooth wireless keyboards. Designed to be portable, these keyboards work with smartphones and PDAs and fold down for travel.

Not all airlines use the the same technology for providing power. iGo adapters use EmPower technology, also known as hypertonic.[1]
iGo adapters are rated from 110 volts to 230 volts and 50/60 hertz. For iGo notebook adapters and the iGo everywhere15 adapter, there are available European and UK AC input cables. For the iGo wall and iGo everywhere adapters, there is an international plug kit or individual plug adapters. If these items are not available a standard plug adapter will work.[1]
In most cases there are more than one tip available for each device needing power. Different iGo products supply power in different ways so it is important to match the tip to both the iGo product and the device needing power. For example a notebook computer might need either tip 135, tip 35 or tip S35 depending on if it is being powered by an everywhere85, a juice70 or an everywhere130 respectively.
