This in from Macintouch yesterday. (Link likely to break in a few days. Search their archives for “iGo Juice 70”.)
We soon realized that while the Juice will run the [Titanium PowerBook], it won’t charge it. It exhibits the same lack of enthusiasm on my AlBook as well. We emailed asking what was up, and got the following response from techsupport@mobl.com:
“There is a know issue with some Apple Laptops and the Juice 70 adapter. Engineering is working toward a resolution. We expect to have a new tip to correct the situation in a few weeks.”
We were offered the option to wait or get a refund. We elected to wait. A month went by, nothing. We emailed, no response. Another month, another email, another non-reply.
I have a client who is happy with this model, and for $35, I’ll probably be picking one up myself for emergencies. Meanwhile, I’m glad to see that NuPower has finally released batteries for the 17″ PowerBook.
