About Me 0056: Making Money With Options

IDAPT is pretty keen on universal charging, but with its latest model there’s a dash of earth-friendliness in there too. The IDAPT i1 Eco boasts compatibility with over 4,000 devices – assisted by the fact that there’s a regular USB output on there – and automatically shuts off when your gadgets are rejuiced.

Two devices can be recharged simultaneously, and using IDAPT’s interchangeable IDAPT Tips the i1 Eco can handle Apple gadgets as well. In the box are three standard Tips – a 30-pin Apple dock connector, miniUSB and microUSB – while input options include 12V from your car or 100V-240V AC for travelling.

IDAPT expects the i1 Eco to go on sale in Q2 2011, and be priced at around €20.

Press Release:

IDAPT i1 Eco – Dual Universal Charger – €20.00 with 3 tips

- Available in Q2 2011

IDAPT, a mobile power leader based in Barcelona, is excited to

announce the new i1 Eco dual universal charger. The compact

IDAPT i1 Eco is made of recycled materials, meets Energy Star

standards, and minimises the user’s carbon footprint while charging

most electronic devices.

The IDAPT i1 Eco has two points of charge, a USB port and a tip port.

The future-proof interchangeable tips system used on all IDAPT chargers

makes the IDAPT i1 Eco compatible with over 4,000 different devices including

iPad and iPhone as well as BlackBerry, Nintendo PSP, XBOX controllers, GPS

systems and Bluetooth products.

Eco features

- made of recycled materials

- no chemical painting

- auto-off system with re-start button

- meets Energy Star standards

- minimises the user’s carbon footprint

- a lasting and upgradeable product

- long working life due to future-proof tip system

The IDAPT i1 Eco charger helps conserve energy through its Auto-off

system which turns off the charger while not in use and a re-start

button to wake it when necessary.

The dual charger can recharge mobile devices while at home or on the

go, via 100v to 240v wall sockets or the included car adapter, with minimal

impact on the environment.

Additionally, no chemical painting is used in manufacturing in order to

ease the process of future recycling.

Future-proof – compatible with 4000+ devices

As of Feb 2011 IDAPTs will charge over 4000+ mobile devices and new tips

are being introduced on a regular basis, making IDAPT future-proof. The

USB port covers all devices like iPads and big tablets not suitable for tip use.

The whole concept of IDAPT’s interchangeable tips makes this charger

a lasting and upgradeable product. Most chargers become useless once

users change phone or get another gadget, so they have to be dumped,

causing damage to the environment. By having this charger one only needs

to replace a tip and recycle the old one, saving energy and money.

Aiming for creative response, but I believe you can get this if you want it.

Actually, I think that you are in a really good position to go freelance/work independently, and you may get better deals starting out this way. It sounds like you have extensive experience, contacts in the field, etc.

So I would follow through with your goal (e.g. Get out of the city you are working in). Do as much as possible now, because projects can take between a few months to a year to start when you let pple know that you are available for this. Continue planning for contract with your company because it may still work out.

Here is what I would do (and actually did do):

1). Where are your colleagues who went to other companies? Send off an email/you are going contract/freelance/whatever. Do they know companies who could use your services

2) Go to linkedin. Update it with a title that makes it obvious you will take other projects (freelance/consultant/whatever they do in your industry). Fill in all the details on your cv, give descriptions of the project you have worked on (pple search me out on linkedin looking for experience in certain industrustries, assume it will work for you ,too). Do give a link to a webpage or something.

3) Decide on a rate. Figure out what you earn per hour right now and 2X to 3X it. You may want to put it on a webpage if you don’t want to bicker with pple, but that is up to you how you do it. Don’t want to travel or work in office? Charge a lot more to do those things.

4) Go find a list of other companies that do what you do. It may be the library, googling, linkedin…but I emailed many companies offering my services/only approached companies that did what I do/made it obvious in the title/and never contacted them again if there was no response. I got a lot of work this way, too.

You may be surprised re: current company. They will still need someone to do the work and may be desperate. If this happens, the reigns will go to your hands.

PS: If you do want a job, often times companies will respond and first ask will you work fulltime for us, and if not, then they will often times still do contract/freelance projects with you. So if that is what you want to do, you can get a job. In regards to linkedin, even if you state you are independent, recruiters/headhunters will come out of the woodwork -- so you once again have the option for a job if you want it.

You may not feel this way now, and YMMV, but I do think if you want to live where you want to live/etc, this will work better. You also may find that you get a wider variety of projects, etc.
