With a Cupertino lawsuit pending, HyperMac’s days offering external MacBook power accessories didn’t exactly look to be long-lived. Now, the company has announced that, as of November 2 2010, they’ll be ceasing sales of all their charging cables and car charger kits for Apple hardware.
HyperMac will still be selling the same battery packs beyond the November 2 deadline, but without the correct cables they won’t be much use to Apple users. The company is now looking to shift their remaining stock, so now’s the time to buy if you were sitting on the fence.
Apple took issue with HyperMac’s use of its proprietary MagSafe and iPod cables and connectors without prior permission, and filed a suit against parent company Sanho back in September. The decision to cease sales is described as “part of ongoing comprehensive licensing negotiations with Apple regarding a wide array of technologies and issues.”
