The Joy Factory Launches Zip Touch-n-go™ Multi-Charging Station

Consumers can now Charge all Mobile Devices Simply and Stylishly

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Joy Factory, Inc. today unveiled the latest breakthrough in conductive charging technology with the Zip Touch-n-go™ Multi-Charging Station. Effortlessly combining form and function, the Zip features a sleek black charging pad design with multiple magnetic Mini USB and Micro USB “ZipTail” charging receivers compatible with today’s smart devices.

“The Joy Factory designed the low-profile ZipTail connectors to eliminate cord tangle, take up only one socket and to create a sleek design that makes the Zip the perfect power décor.”

“The Zip offers consumers the ability to easily charge an arsenal of mobile devices including smart phones, cameras, and e-readers in a way that is modern, effortless and without clutter,” said Sampson Yang, president of The Joy Factory and consumer electronics veteran. “The Joy Factory designed the low-profile ZipTail connectors to eliminate cord tangle, take up only one socket and to create a sleek design that makes the Zip the perfect power décor.”

The ultra-short, tangle-proof ZipTails are equipped with rounded magnetic chargers at the end that connect to any of the dimpled spots on the main charging pad. It also allows consumers to pick up a phone call immediately without worrying about disconnecting or reconnecting due to cable-length constraints. The device automatically resumes charging as the ZipTail reattaches.

By using a magnetic conductive charging technique and connecting the ZipTails directly to the device, the Zip reduces energy loss and provides a quick charge. And with the included 2100mA power adapter, the Zip can charge up to three cellular phones at once—or more, depending on the power transformer on the device.

The Zip Touch-n-go comes with a starter kit that includes one Mini USB and two Micro USB ZipTail receivers. Additional receivers are available separately. The Zip is offered at a MSRP of $79.95. Currently available for pre-orders at www.thejoyfactory.com, shipments of the Zip are slated to begin through major online retail outlets and selected retailers at the end of July.
