Pebble! Downsizing / Unclutting my bag!
on: January 19, 2011, 09:20:59 AM
Well it's a tek site so might as well post about my latest purchase: Veoh Pebble



My NDS charger is Australian and my PSP charger was knackered so while looking for replacements I stumbled across this. I remember them coming out a while ago and they were silly expensive and never really gave them much thought but considering its a big battery in a small package (about the size of a pack of 20 cigs but thinner) and comes with a great many attachments I thought I could use it to un clutter my backpack.

I've gone from:
Laptop, Charger, Wired Mouse
PSP, Charger, USB Cable
NDS, Charger
Camera, Charger/USB
Phone, Charger
iPod, Charger/USB
2-3 Books

To:
Laptop, Charger, Wireless Mouse (Mini Razor)
PSP
NDS
Camera
Phone
Kindle
Pebble, retractable USB, 4x Adapaters.

Thats a lot of cables (6-7) no longer needed! I'm happy :D

Oh and with the battery I haven't tested it too much but it did charge my PSP & NDS from dead to full and my phone from red to full and the pebble itself only just dropped to 'med' charge.

What's the build quality like ? I've had a few different devices like that and usually the first thing to fail is the retractable USB due to the cable being too thin :/

The actual pebble is very nice, feels solid but not too heavy and covered in that nice rubberised coating. The retractable USB cable is thin (suppose its the only way to get it to retract and stay small) but its one of the better ones I've had.
