Before you get too excited, you might want to learn more about Medis and its fat box. What Medis offers is junk -- little more than a trick to make investors think Medis really has something to sell. Consider:

- the power output is trivial. The Medis half-brick won't even power a totall dead cell phone to quickly make a phone call (compare Cellboost, which at least really is disposable, and can let you make a cell phone call almost immediately). And it won't power a Blackberry at all. And it's not even disposable -- you have electronics that can't be recharged, and can't take off something off-the-shelf like an AA battery.

- there are MANY superior solutions for ipods -- I shouldn't need to tell you about them. Some run on AAA batteries, some on AA batteries, and some one Lithium-ion; and many if not most are rechargeable. Why buy something hugely more expensive, that works poorly and adds to landfills?

- The Medis junk needs to be "activiated" after which the power depletes quickly. After a few days it's so weak it's practically useless. After a few weeks, it's dead whether you used it, or not. Some hot technology, eh? There's already something much better: more compact, more powerful and rechargeable -- called a BATTERY pack.

And the price of the powerpack has been going UP from when it was first offered a year ago. Not all prices go down. The automated line to pump out those powerpacks was completed a year ago -- but so far Medis has reported NO revenue. No one wants their junk.

Then the story gets much worse... Medis looks not like a company with a lousy product. It looks like a ripe old scam. For more information, check here....

Medis has a longgggggggg history of promising miracle products, and delivering nothing. Now that's changed: it's delivered junk. Some improvement!

And before you give a positive review, do some research, 'kay?
