Without a wall charger? The "Nectar" powers devices for up to two weeks

Does anyone see this as a viable option? At $299, the device itself is very expensive. Then there is the Nectar power charge cartridge at $10. Sounds like a battery. An expensive battery with restricted availability ("exclusively at Brookstone", at least initially).

For $299 any number of cheaper alternatives are available, some taking inexpensive, widely available AA batteries, others containing rechargeable batteries.

A quick search revealed some alternatives, all under $150, which will not only recharge your phone & tablet, but your laptop as well. The 36,000 mAh models will definitely keep you phone running for "up to 2 weeks" for a lot less than $10.

Some of the many alternatives:
