Two features set Kensington Battery Pack and Charger for iPhone and iPod apart from other external lithium batteries: it doesn’t attach directly to the gadget and it has the largest capacity.
Kensington sells two batteries – this larger one ($69.99) and a second, smaller battery that is named the Kensington Mini Battery Extender and Charger for iPod and iPhone 1G, 3G (Black).
The Kensington Mini Battery, like the RichardSolo Smart Backup Battery and others, attaches directly to the iPhone.
The larger Kensington Battery Pack connects to the iPhone via a cable, thus eliminating one of the chief concerns with the other packs: unstable connections.
It also provides a whopping 100 additional hours of music, or 21 hours of video or 6 hours of talk. Its capacity is 1800mAh, the same as mophie’s Juice Pack and more than RichardSolo’s 1200mAh.

The battery is relatively light, weighing in at 3.5 ounces. It is 4 inches long, 2.2 inches wide and slightly more than a 1¼-inch thick.
The USB 2.0 to 30-pin charging cable allows for plenty of movement while the battery is attached.
In addition to the charging cable, the battery comes with a wall outlet power adapter and a charging cable that connects the battery to either the wall adapter or a USB port.
The battery can be charged with the iPhone attached, with the iPhone’s internal battery recharging first.

The use of 3-D sound processing also widens the stereo effect, so that this system’s sound seems to come from an area about two feet wider than the speakers themselves. The speakers are powered by an AC adapter or rechargeable Li-ion batteries, come with a credit card-sized wireless remote, and are easily compatible with all docking iPods. If you don’t have an iPod with a dock connector, just use the auxiliary outlet.

Trust me, one thing is just looking at the specs, another is listening the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin sound quality when coupled with any iPod (we did it with a brand new iPods touch.

It’s got two 1-inch aluminum tweeters, two 3.5-inch fiber cone mid-range drivers, and one 5-inch bass driver that will really impress any die-hard audiophile.

Zeppelin is compatible with all dockable iPods, including the iPod classic (3G, 4G, 5G, 5.5G, 6G), iPod touch, iPod nano (1G, 2G, 3G), and iPod mini.

Several devices other than an iPod can play sound through Zeppelin; both analog and optical digital connectivity are supported by a common auxiliary socket on the back. Examples include a computer–either direct or wirelessly using Apple Airport Express; television; MP3 players (through the player’s headphone connection); home theater devices; CD players–portable or static; and portable radios with headphone or digital outputs.

Video iPods, the iPod touch, iPhones, and the iPod classic can take advantage of Zeppelin’s video output capability to connect to a television’s composite video and S-Video.

Price? Beauty is priceless, the Zeppelin retails for US$ 599. A lot less than beauty itself!

Apple yesterday rolled out new iPhone and iPod touch models with beefed-up memories and bumped-up prices.

Apple has just upped the iPhone’s storage capacity to 16gb, and the iPod touch 16 GB to 32gb.

The iPhone, formerly available only in an 8 GB model for $399 now has a 16 GB cousin that retails for $499. The iPod touch also added a big brother, launching a 32 GB model for $499 to accompany the 16 GB and 8 GB models that sell for $399 and $299 respectively.

“For some users, there’s never enough memory,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide iPod and iPhone Product Marketing, in a statement. “Now people can enjoy even more of their music, photos and videos on the most revolutionary mobile phone and best Wi-Fi mobile device in the world.”

The new iPods touch and iPhones will ship with the new software that CEO Steve Jobs unveiled at last month’s MacWorld Expo in San Francisco, including a maps application that allows users to use a combination of cell tower and Wi-Fi hot spot triangulation to mimic a GPS device and find their location on Google-powered maps.

iPhone has just been announced but the hunt for accessories of the highly desirable iPod/phone/internet device hybrid has already begun!

SourceCrowd.com is always striving to bring you the latest and greatest, so here are but a few add-on you should consider worthwhile if you already (lucky one!) own an iPhone!

First of all, an accessory which should really be considered an essential: what’s better for such a cool and sleek device than a Wireless Bluetooth Headset for the Apple iPhone?

Of course, no data is still available about how much power-hungry the iPhone is in day to day use, but you’ll never run out of battery with stuff like the Powered Windshield Car / Auto Mount PDA Phone Holder for the Apple iPhone - Gomadic Brand, doubling as a charger and holder for your car (and proudly showing it!).

When not traveling in your car, whether running or commuting on the underground, such a glossy device deserves some protection and care: get yourself (and your iPhone) a iPhone Silicone Case w/ Screen Protector & Belt Clip - 5 Color Options! Another sleek and colorful option could be the iPhone silicone case i phone cover

The most anticipated launch of the year is finally upon us: since it was first announced in back in January of 2007, the iPhone has been one of the most talked about topics on the internet. Apple has once again showed how it’s done in the marketing and hype department: now it’s up to consumers and early buyers to try first hand if the iPhone will live up to the huge expectations created around it

So far the first press and web reviews have been positive, with small nags overpowered by the great advanced feature of the iPod/Phone hybrid that have wowed the public and professionals alike. The only thing stopping this device from being a market winner overnight seems to be the high price, which of course is justified by the advanced and new features like the multi touch technology display.

We won’t bore you with tech specs, you can find all the info you want and more on Apple’s website. If you are lucky enough to be near an AT&T or Apple store tonight at 6pm, you might be in for a spectacle as people queue up to get their hands on a brand new iPhone. If you are even more lucky, you may even be able to go out and buy one!
