"Here's a Kickstarter campaign that women, their significant others, and anyone else who carries a purse or similar bag, will certainly want to get behind: the Everpurse. The problem is a frequent one: smartphone battery issues. The solution is a creative one: charging on the go, without wires, bulky batteries, or special cases.\r\n\r\nThe range of backing options for the campaign, which officially launches on Monday, is quite big: anywhere from $1 to $10,000. The final goal for this project is a whopping $100,000 (by October 13).\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nMy first question upon seeing the product video was whether any phone modification was required. &amp;quot;The answer is no,&amp;quot; Dan Salcedo, one of the creators of Everpurse, told The Next Web. &amp;quot;No modifications or extra cases or anything is needed on the phone. You can take any standard iPhone and drop it in, it will begin charging instantly.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nI pounced on the word &amp;quot;iPhone.&amp;quot; What does that mean exactly? Apparently it refers to the latest version, and its predecessor: the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S. Well that's decent, but what about other phones?\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;We will be announcing final line-up of phones throughout the Kickstarter campaign,&amp;quot; Salcedo elaborated to me. &amp;quot;We are still making final decisions based on top selling phones in several categories.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nIn other words, you can expect popular phones to get the green light, but you shouldn't assume your phone is supported for sure until it's announced. As such, I don't recommend you buy in unless Everpurse has specifically said your phone is a go.\r\n\r\nWith that warning aside, I think Everpurse is a brilliant idea. While I'm sure one day smartphones will last weeks on one charge, much like Kindles do, that day is nowhere near, for a multitude of unfortunate reasons. This is a temporary solution to a bigger problem, which, thankfully for Everpurse, will be around for quite some time.\r\n\r\nI must say I'm tempted to get this for my girlfriend, who, unlike me, doesn't have a smartphone. Do you think she'll be okay with carrying around an Everpurse when we go out?\r\n\r\nImage credit: stock.xchng"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
