One major factor of travel today is making sure your devices are powered. Most people will carry a variety of accessories that would help them keep their phones and tablets alive, including portable batteries, chargers, adapters and more.
What if you could build all of those accessories into a single device?
That's the idea behind the HooToo Tripmate. The Tripmate is a portable media hub that combines a variety of functions into a singular device.
The device currently has a 10,400 mAh battery, which is more than enough power to charge a standard smartphone many times over. The Tripmate also has the potential to act as a streaming media hub. According to CNET, the TripMate is "able to wirelessly beam music, movies and the like from any attached USB storage (flash drive, hard drive, etc......You can even plug in a USB hub (not included) for access to up to four devices at once."
The device also has the potential to act as a key networking tool. The Tripmate has the ability to act as a bridge, an access point and even a router if needed. If users need access to more storage, they can temporarily turn it into a network attached storage, or NAS for short, server.
The Tripmate is 1.6 inches by 1.6 inches by 3.7 inches and weighs 8.8 ounces. The TripMate's casing is a visually appealing mixture of black and red, and it has a number of rubber covers that help hide the distracting ports.
How much is the Tripmate? The device is currently available on Amazon for $43.99, and has a 4.8 out of 5 rating from its users. The device normally costs $60, so the $43.99 price is a really good deal. Make sure you take advantage of it.
