Monday, May 25th, 2009

Power to (iPod- and iPhone-)people!
When it comes to battery life no one’s safe these days: you see iPhone users stuck with neither cell nor music available!

So what?

Here comes a triplet of different apprach suitable to iPod, iPod touch and iPhone users (letting them save a bundle in the process!).

Here’s a really elegant solution to power shortage! Kensington Battery Pack and Charger for iPod; iPhone 1G, 3G!

Got a lot of music and videos on your iPod? The rechargeable Kensington Battery Pack and Charger for iPhone and iPod provides a go-anywhere boost of juice so that the music and videos can keep playing. Simply connect the lightweight Battery Pack and Charger to your laptop or notebook computer’s USB port to recharge it, and you’re ready to give your PDA, cell phone, iPod, iPhone, or other mobile devices the power boost it needs.

We’ve all been there: You’re away from home, your iPhone is dead, and you really need to call someone. Or maybe you just hopped on the bus, and the only empty seat is next to that lady who talks to everyone—and your iPod just ran out of juice. Kensington’s battery packs can come to your rescue, recharging a dead iPhone or iPod without the need for a really, really long extension cord.
The larger version comes with an AC adapter and a USB cable, so it can be charged from a wall outlet or from a powered USB port.

An array of five blue LEDs progressively lights up to indicate that the battery is charging, and a test button lights the array to indicate the charge percentage. Connecting it to an iPhone was cumbersome in a tight space, however, because the connector cable is more than 3 feet long. Fully charged, the larger battery pack will keep the tunes flowing for up to 100 hours—or ten hours of iPhone talk time.

The Kensington Battery Pack and Charger feature list:

  • Compatibility: iPhone 1G, 3G; iPod classic 4G, 5G, 5.5G, 6G; iPod nano 3G
  • Rechargeable battery pack extends playing time up to 100 hours of music, 21 hours of video, or 6 hours of talk
  • AC power adapter with USB allows you to recharge your battery pack
  • Includes dock connector to power and charge your iPhone and iPod
  • Mini USB cable included to power and charge other mobile devices, such as cell phones, PDAs, and more

The Kensington Battery Pack and Charger tt’s now US $ 37.99 (and that’s 53% off regular price, so hurry up!)

For little more than US $ 10 you can get a road warrior kit for iPod along with regular power line charger, car charger, headsets, elastic armband, skin case plus LCD screen protector!

Check the Bargaincell kit: you get USB Data Cable + USB Car Charger + USB Home Charger + Black Rubber Silicone Skin Case + Elastic Armband + Clear Reusable LCD Screen Protector + White 3.5mm Stereo Headset for Apple Ipod Touch Itouch 8GB 16GB 32GB 2G 2nd Generation!

Wanna squeeze all the power you can from your battery?

If so, the 3GJUICE Black 2.0 1800 mAh/2A DeLuxe Version may come in handy!

Top battery, stronger then any other cable less battery.
3GJUICE Black 2.0 1800 mAh/2A DeLuxe Version charges your iPhone from 10% to 100% in just 2.5 hours. Remove the battery and your iPhone is charged 100%. Compact in size.

Monday, January 19th, 2009

With the iLuv iMM173 alarm clock and dual dock for iPod and iPhone, you can charge your iPod and iPhone while you’re sleeping and wake up to your favorite FM station or tunes from your iPod or iPhone. Featuring two integrated docks, an FM tuner, a large and easy-to-read display, and powerful built-in speakers, this unique bedside alarm clock lets you choose how you wake up every morning while making sure your iPod and iPhone are fully charged for the day.

The iLuv iMM173 features two integrated docks that give you the option of charging up to two iPods and/or iPhones. Do this while you’re sleeping, and when it’s time to wake up, not only will your devices be fully charged, but you also can wake up to your favorite tunes.

And thanks to the system’s powerful built-in speakers and jAura acoustic speaker technology, you’ll get sound with depth and clarity that belies its small size, making this bedside clock ideal for the kitchen or other room in your house as well. Note: iPhones can be charged on both docks, but only one will be fully compatible while the other will show “airplane mode.”

If you’d like to listen to the news, weather, or the latest radio hits, the iLuv iMM173’s built-in FM radio uses PLL digital tuning technology to ensure crystal-clear reception. The radio offers eight programmable presets, so your favorite stations are only a button-push away.

Or, connect another source–like the iPod shuffle, portable CD players, or other MP3 players–using the auxiliary line input. A remote control lets you operate the iLuv iMM173 from across the room, and a handy magnet on the back of the unit holds the remote when not in use.

The iLuv iMM173 features a large easy-to-read LCD with a 10-level dimmer that lets you turn down the brightness at night when it’s time to sleep. The time is easy to set, and a simple switch lets you change between standard and daylight savings time.

Dual alarm clocks, which offer the options of waking up to a buzzer, FM radio, or your iPod or iPhone tunes, ensure that your bedmate also wakes up on time. The iLuv iMM173 also offers a sleep option that lets you fall asleep to the radio or your iPod/iPhone. Plus, the alarm clock has treble and bass controls.

Price, about US$ 92.

What’s better than ONE iPod dock? A DUAL iPod Dock! Meet JVC NXPN7 with Dual iPod and iPhone Dock

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

There’s a saying that 2 is better than 1. When 2 can get together it’s special. The new JVC NXPN7 clock radio is very special. It accommodates two iPod players side-by side with its integrated dual-dock technology, charging them simultaneously and offering playback from each through the dock’s speaker system.
Supplementing iPod playback is an AM/FM tuner, and adding to the unit’s versatility is a clock and timer. In addition, there’s an analog audio input for connecting other devices for playback.
Though the JVC NXPN7 handles two iPod players, it measures a mere 13 inches wide and will fit almost everywhere.
It features sleek and sophisticated styling, with a black cabinet and speaker grille, and controls arrayed clearly and logically in a band along the bottom. Adding a bit of flair are two illuminated strips, one under each docked iPod.
These can display one of nine colors - including white, blue, red and others. The included remote control features dedicated iPod control keys that simulate the iPod control wheel layout, so users are able to easily shuffle, repeat, scroll and select songs from the iPod menu. Back illuminated LCD Analog audio input lets you add other MP3 players if you don’t have an iPod Remote Control (also controls iPod when docked)

In the end: dual dock, great sound, nice look and lots of features!
Price? $99.99 (just one time, not two!).
