my igo juice only does one at a time.
My juice can power a laptop AND up to 3 devices on the dualpower adapter. It also came with around 10 tips, though none of them were really universal.

Looks to me like they just bundled up some stuff and are claiming it is "new"...

funny

That is funny, I wonder which igo juice you have.
mine only does an LT AND ONE other device,

just like the igo juice website states.

Optional iGo DualPower Accessory enables you to power a notebook computer and a second mobile electronic device (such as a mobile phone or MP3 player) at the same time

which one does three at a time plus a laptop? interested in that one.

I guess it is all about the wattage, this will do 100, burst to 130, whereas my igo 70, will only do up to 70. But, with a nice LT, that is not a problem.

My setup is as follows:

AC/DC > IGO JUICE > Powercable to laptop
> TripleTap off Laptop cable
> DualPower to device 1
> DualPower to device 2
> DualPower to device 3

You might have to call them to order the triple-tap as it never seems to be on their website...

Here is a photo of it

(I'm only showing 2 dualpowers, but it will hold 3 of them), I can power my laptop, charge my Blackberry, my SonyEricsson and my PDA all at the same time)

didn't see that

how much does the triple tap run? When it is available?
I've never even SEEN it on the website before or in catalogues?
I thought the max was two, but then again that is with the double which is another 25.00$

I'm putting my money into electromagnetic field induction!

all this will be moot.

I think it was $12, give them a call, they can give you the item number so you can find it on their website.

EFI is so 1999. I suspect that in 10 years we will all have these

Be careful with Igo. It has been known to fry cell phones even when using the recommended tip:

So does the iGo octopus save space, or just allow multiple charging off of one power outlet? Is it smaller than laptop charger + phone charger + PDA charger?

Wise warning. FWIW, I have charged over 40 different phones, PDA's and other gadgets with my igo and have never encountered a problem. The only device that is picky with the igo is the Dell Axim, the DualPower can barely get enough power to charge it, as it seems to require well over 1A!
