Rating: 10 out of 10 !! Pros: A small pocketable battery that holds an amazing charge. Holds enough charge to almost charge two iPhones! Great looking device that matches the iPhone 3G theme perfectly. Works with any iPod. (except iPod Shuffle)
Cons: Limits listening capabilities on the iPod Nano 4G while using iPWR.
(but still charges iPod very nicely)
Overall: This is the best external battery for the iPhone, it charges the iPhone fully with enough left in the battery to almost fully charge another iPhone. It also works on all iPods with 30 pin connectors (thats all iPods except the iPod shuffle) It was such a good device for the iPhone that we had to award it the best of iPhone award.
You can purchase iPWR directly for only $59.95 at: iPWR.com
Are you sick and tired of your iPod’s rubber case sticking to your finger when you try to spin the click wheel? Well Belkin has developed a silicone that they have been using to make their cases. After using the case above for quite a while now and using other silicon cases this seems to be my favorite because it is thin, stylish and as noted above has a click wheel covering that does not grip your fingers.

Pros:
Click wheel has a covering that does not grip finger
Rating: 7 out of 10
Pros: This device looks really cool, Its portable, and it uses battery’s which makes it ultra portable! Also there is an option to power via USB if no battery’s are available.Uses a 3.5mm jack which almost any music device can accept. Cons: Audio quality is not the best, lacking a good bass and a bit pricey for the quality.
Overall: The product is portable, and does produce a better sound quality then the iPhone speakers. Overall I would probably shop around for a better sounding speaker, but if you like looks over sound quality this is the product for you!
The Bomb can be purchaced at iFrogz.com for $39.99
This is a video review for the Energi to Go from Energizer, a emergency charger for your iPod or iPhone.
Rating: 7 out of 10
Pros: Lightweight, Portable, and charges your iPod or iPhone using AA Batteries, good for emergencies. Cons: Not very durable, cheaply made, needs tweaking with to allow iPhone to charge correctly and over priced. Overall: If you are looking for a iPod/iPhone emergency charger that uses AA batteries, this may be good for you, but if you are looking for a day to day backup battery I would look elsewhere because it takes two AA batteries for each iPhone charge, and that can add up. I would suggest the iPwr for day to day battery backup.
This is an app review for: “Photogene” from the apple app store for iPhone.
Rating: 9 out of 10 Pros: Very useful app, this app allows you to edit all your photos on your iPhone. You can change saturation, adjust the levels, change the colors, and even add cool filters and effects. Cons: Slow response to touch. (Note: this could be a iPhone 3.0 beta problem) Overall: This app is totally worth it for the iPhone, its pretty much just like a mini version of iPhoto where you can adjust all your photos on your iPhone.
Photogene can be purchased at the apple app store here for $2.99
