Performance and Practicality are somewhat co-dependent. If it charges quick I don't need to charge X number of units simultaneously.

For me it's not a one size fits all product.
The cell phone ports will charge an iPhone at 1A and an iPad at 2A, which I believe are the standard rates you would get from a wall charger.

Again, our designs are presently for the industrial market, but I see people wanting these for use at hunting camps, camping, etc.

For something to retail for $99, I will see what I can do. It will still be at least twice what the other guys are doing...
