My battery was nearly dead during this video, since I had been playing my ringtone all day. It’s hard to charge my iPhone when I’m out and about. Thankfully, the folks from iPWR contacted me to show me what they have available.

Power and charge your iPhone or iPod on-the-go, and enjoy an extended playtime of up to 40 hours of music; 9 hours of video; or 7 hours of talk. iPWR has very compact size, it is small enough to keep connected to your iPhone or iPod.

The thing is, it doesn’t stay connected to my iPhone, since I use a case with it. Why doesn’t anyone ever think of that during the design phase? Most people I know use a protective or decorative case of some sort!

The most unique thing about iPWR is that it has an on/off switch. That’s pretty significant. Turn it off when your iPhone or iPod isn’t charging to save on the juice! Pop the top off and the simplicity of the design is obvious. It has a dock connector to attach to the iPhone or iPod, a mini-use port for charging it either from a computer or a USB charger adapter and an on/off switch. That’s it.

I will be using this and carrying it around with me. You never know when you’re going to need one of these, so pick one up today!

How to Double the Life of Your iPhone 3G Battery is a post from Chris Pirillo

Those of us with iPhone 3Gs certainly know the pain and frustration of having no battery left. I misplaced my iPhone earlier, so I tried calling it. It didn’t work, since the battery was dead. I wish I had a battery pack sitting on it all the time. In the past, I have reviewed various types of packs and batteries that can be used with the iPhone. Thankful, the Mophie Juice Pack is now available for the iPhone 3G.

Juice Pack 3G is specially designed for iPhone 3G and has passed the strict over-the-air performance tests by an Apple designated test lab. As a result, the Mophie Juice Pack 3G has been officially certified by Apple Inc. as a “Work with iPhone 3G” product!
Mophie Juice Pack 3G also uses Apple designated connector, which can only be ordered through Apple’s certified vendors. This ensures its 100% compatibility with your iPhone 3G.
The Juice Pack is a rechargeable lithium polymer battery in the form of a non-slip, soft grip case.

The Juice Pack works very well, that’s for sure. However, it doesn’t give me the Macro lens slide-over that I love so much on my current iPhone case. For me, it’s a matter of do I want the Macro lens, or to double the life of my battery. The Juice Pack will definitely get a lot of use, though. If you are looking to extend your battery – to double its current charge – the Mophie Juice Pack is just what the doctor ordered.

VMware and Parallels for Virtual Machines

chris@lockergnome.com (Chris Pirillo) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:30:00 GMT

It doesn't matter if you're running on Windows or Mac OS X - every power user needs either Parallels or VMware (or both). There's never been an easier way to test software without destroying your primary operating system's stability. Think of how many times you wish you could press a 'reverse' button on your computer. Plus, there's no easier way to try new Linux distributions - see what all the fuss is about. Run Windows in OS X, run Linux in Windows, but the best way to do either is with VMware and/or Parallels.
