Incase Power Slider, More Power for Battery Hungry iPhone 3G

Some of us couldn't live without his/her iPhone for a few minutes, let alone hours. Had we stopped trying to beat Rolando and to set never-ending new record in Zombieville, iPhone battery life is decent, to say the least. However, if you are the kind of person who cannot accept tradeoff between game time and talk time, Incase says you need a secondary battery like their Power Slider.

Incase Power Slider directly competes withMophie Juice Pack Air; it offers case protection while extending iPhone up-time through its integrated 1330mAh Li-ion polymer battery, which equals to 120% of phone's battery capacity. Built-in cell technology also prevents overcharging and short circuiting. The Incase provides 5 light LED battery status indicator that is found on the Mophie as well. According to the company, the Power Slider can manage to squeeze between 1 to 6 hours of battery life more than the Juice Pack Air depending on your usage.

• Standby time: up to 330 hours
• Audio playback: up to 26 hours
• Talk time: up to 5 hours on 3G network and 10 hours on 2G network
• Video playback: up to 7 hours
• Internet use: up to 5 hours on 3G network and 6 hours on Wi-Fi

Tin Can App Turns The iPhone Into A Modem

This is one of those iPhone apps that manages to be pointless but cool at the same time. Tin Can essentially turns a couple of iPhones into old-school modems, allowing you to send and receive text messages using sound, instead of a network connection. Of course it’s not exactly a very useful alternative to a 3G or wi-fi connection since the iPhones basically have to be sitting about an inch apart, or as long as the included headset cables will reach. So there’s a good chance you’ll not only be able to talk to the person you’re communicating with, but you’ll probably be able to see their screen as they’re typing out a message. So whether or not you think you can squeeze 99 cents worth of fun out of it is up to you.
