While CES doesn't officially kick off until January 6th, some vendors are already showing off their gadgets to attendees at the annual gadget-phile event. Romp Interactive will be keeping a close eye on the most compelling gadgets and share them here. Check back often, though. We'll be adding gadgets as we see them.

nPower PEG
The nPower PEG catches our eye for a couple of reasons: First, anything that promises to save us from battery-drained gadget has our attention. The nPower is a little different in that it isn't one of the run-of-the-mill battery packs that require you to plug it in. (If I don't remember to plug in my iPhone, what makes you think I'll remember to plug in a battery extender?) The nPower PEG harnesses energy from movement. Drop the nPower PEG into you backpack and go for a walk or run. You can even shake the unit which will generate more energy than walking alone. After a few minutes of activity, you've got enough juice to extend your gadget for a few minutes. Exactly how long depends on a variety of factors. For more information, visit npowerpeg.com.






Mobee Technology introduced the Magic Charger, an inductive charger dedicated for the Apple Magic Mouse. The charger works by replaceing the batteries in the mAgic Mouse with a specially designed battery pack that can be recharged by simply placing the Magic Mouse on the included base station. The base station, powered by any available USB port, provides enough power tolast up to 6 days from a full charge. That's significantly less that the average usage you'll get from Apple's rechargeable AA option, but we're including this for the cool factor alone. The Magic Charger is available for $49.90 at Mobee's website.
