Whirlpool Adds Charger To Fridge-Front Tech Center

Benton Harbor-based Whirlpool Corp. (NYSE: WHR) announced another partner for its Centralpark plug-and-play refrigerator door docking station for consumer electronics devices.

IGo, a brand owned by Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Mobility Electronics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOBE) is the newest device partner to join the Centralpark Connection lineup.

The newly planned compatible device, the iGo recharging station, provides an additional option to families with varying needs.

"The addition of iGo's recharging station to the centralpark(TM) connection will address the evolving needs of many consumers," said Mark Hamilton, director, Centralpark Connection. "As the adoption rate of consumer electronics has grown, kitchen countertops have become cluttered taking on the role of charging station to cell phones and MP3 players. This will provide a place to charge these devices and get them off the countertops."

iGo, the market leader in gadget and notebook charging, will offer a compatible recharging station that is compatible with the Centralpark connection. The station will charge cell phones, MP3 players and virtually every other type of gadget, helping consumers keep their counters clear of charger and cable clutter.

The iGo gadget-charging module will be compatible with all iGo tips, allowing consumers to charge over 2,700 different gadgets with the simple switch of a tip. These tips are available online, at www.igo.com, and at retail locations nationwide.
