Energizer mobile chargers expected from Avenir Telecom next month

Telecoms distributor Avenir Telecom and Energizer, one of the world's largest battery manufacturers, have announced the launch of their exclusive range of chargers for the mobile market. The partnership was revealed in February, with the charger range previewed at Mobile World Congress. The Energizer range will be available from major retailers and on Amazon from early November.

There'll be universal and brand-specific chargers for mobile phones, GPS, MP3, laptops and game consoles. All are Energy Star Level 5 and EUP compliant, which means they save 30% of the power consumed by standard chargers. They're also equipped with an automatic cut-off when a device is fully charged.

A 3-in-1 Universal Charger allows 2 devices to be simultaneously charged via in-car charging, a USB connection or a mains plug socket. It offers 10 connectors to charge most mobile devices on the market and will be available from £24.99.

Andy Tow, MD of Avenir Telecom, said "Avenir Telecom is extremely excited to bring these powerful products to the marketplace, which are set to offer the customer an easier choice and a more economical way to keep their devices charged. This is just the beginning of our long-term partnership with Energizer, where will continue to design, manufacture and distribute innovative products that meet the demands of our customers."

Happy New Year and welcome back to our weekly news summary. Thanks to the Bank Holiday last Monday we’ve had a relatively gentle start to the year, although I’m sure this week’s CES show in Las Vegas will generate plenty of product news.

Don't worry about explaining your mobile design, just make sure it works

Mark Bridge writes:

Chinese mobile manufacturer ZTE has just announced a new mobile phone design philosophy. It’s called “Caring, Creative, Simple, Smart” and - let’s be honest - you could say it sounds a little trite.

Mark Bridge writes:

“He knows if you’ve been bad or good...”

You don’t need to be Santa Claus to appreciate that RIM’s quarterly results have marked a disappointing end to a disappointing year. Yes, the company’s sold millions of BlackBerry phones - but PlayBook sales haven’t been good, its new OS is delayed and its market share appears to be falling. You could argue that 2012 is a make-or-break year for Research In Motion... or at least for its current management.

Mark Bridge writes:

It’s been an annus horribilis for Research In Motion. In fact, the BBC was already using that very phrase about the BlackBerry manufacturer two months ago.
