Today Kensington introduces several new power products to its Power It lineup, including a new Portable Power Pack for Mobile Devices ($59), Wall Ultra Portable Notebook Adapter ($119), Wall/Auto/Air Ultra Portable Notebook Adapter ($139, with plenty of tips to fit most Windows laptops, but not Apple's proprietary MagSafe connector), and the awesome Auto Power Inverter with USB port for car lighter jacks ($39).
