Dear Mr. Olson:

         On behalf of iGo Corporation (the "Company"), I am pleased to offer you
the position of Acting President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The
terms of your employment relationship with the Company will be as set forth
below and will be subject to the approval of the Company's Board of Directors.

         1. POSITION. You will become the Acting President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company. As such, you will have such responsibilities as
determined by the Board of Directors.

         2. BASE SALARY. You will be paid a base salary of $25,000.00 per month.
Your salary will be payable in accordance with the Company's standard payroll
policies (subject to normal required withholding).

         3. STOCK AND/OR OPTIONS. You will be granted a non-statutory option to
purchase 150,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the fair
market value of the Company's Common Stock at the date of grant (as determined
by the Board of Directors), which shall vest at the rate of 25,000 shares on the
28th day of each month after commencement of your employment (so that six (6)
months from the commencement of your employment, your option will be fully
vested). Vesting will, of course, depend on your continued employment with the
Company. The option shall become fully vested upon a change of control, and you
may exercise any vested option for a period of two (2) years following your
employment (but in no event after expiration of the ten year term of the
option).

         4. STANDARD EMPLOYEE AGREEMENTS. Like all Company employees, you will
be required to sign the Company's standard Mutual Arbitration Agreement, as well
as the Confidential Information, Invention Assignment, Non-Competition and
Non-Solicitation Agreement relating to protection of the Company's proprietary
and confidential information and assignment of inventions. In addition, you will
abide by the Company's strict policy that prohibits any new employee from using
or bringing with him or her from any previous employer any confidential
information, trade secrets, or proprietary materials or processes of such former
employer. You will also be bound by the terms of any employee manual currently
existing or later adopted by the Company.

         5. AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT. As is true for all employees, you will be an
employee-at-will, meaning that either you or the Company may terminate your
employment relationship at any time, without notice, for any reason or no
reason. If the Company terminates you for any reason within three (3) months of
your start date, you shall continue to receive your base salary for that three
month period.

         6. START DATE. Your employment with the Company will commence on
January 28, 2002.

         7. FEDERAL IMMIGRATION LAW. For purposes of federal immigration law,
you will be required to provide to the Company documentary evidence of your
identity and eligibility for employment in the United States. Such documentation
must be provided to us within three (3) business days of your commencement date,
or our employment relationship with you may be terminated.

         8. OTHER BENEFITS. You will be entitled to participate in the various
employee benefit programs adopted from time to time by the Company in accordance
with the terms thereof.

         9. INDEMNIFICATION. The Company shall provide you with its standard
indemnification agreement for officers.

         10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This offer letter, together with your (a) Stock
Option Agreement, (b) Indemnification Agreement, (c) Change of Control
Agreement, (d) Mutual Arbitration Agreement, and (e) Confidential Information,
Invention Assignment, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement,
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all other
prior agreements or understandings. This offer may be withdrawn by the Company
at any time prior to the Company's receipt of a copy of this letter
countersigned by you. This offer may be executed by facsimile and in
counterparts, which, when taken together, will constitute one and the same
document. This letter will be governed by Nevada law.

                                       -2-
