Note: I no longer work with IonLab since Nov 12 of 2009.

Last week, we quietly relaunched ion, our USB charger. The very next day, we shipped ions to customers in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Mumbai. And an hour ago, I shipped one to Bhubaneswar. It’s good to be back!

First of all, thanks to all those 96 people who wrote to us in the past few months who kept asking us when we’ll be back in stock. The fact that there are people really interested kept us going. And we really needed that boost.

I’m sure there are a lot more people who would have also visited the website, saw the ‘Out of stock’ sign but not written to us. We felt bad in having to turn away so many people for so long. But we are very conscious of delivering the best goods, hence we ended up taking a lot of time to do it right.

The good news is that the next generation of ion, unimaginatively called “ion2″ is here and now available.

Not only does ion really solve a pain point, what sets it apart from other USB chargers are:

1. Is the smallest USB charger available in the Indian market.
2. Of very high quality. It is CE certified.
3. Works anywhere in the world. No more voltage conversions.
4. Works with almost any device that can be charged via USB, including all kinds of mp3 players (the entire iPod family, Zune, iRiver, etc.), mobile phones, and so on.
5. Advantage of ion working with so many devices is that you no longer need to say “Do you have an iPod charger” or “Do you have a Nokia 6300 charger?”… Just ask “Do you have an ion?”
