iPhone 3G - Battery life and charging; some useful accessories
The Apple iPhone 2.1 update has helped the battery life of my iPhone 3G, however I still need a quick charge in the afternoon to make it into the late evening. I found this great little accessory which will help out during those times where a quick charge using a wall outlet, car charger, or USB port is not feasible. Gomadic sells a battery backup which allows you to charge the iPhone 3G or any other mobile device they have a compatible exchangeable power tip. The unit works with 4 AA batteries which is much better than a rechargable backup solution since AA batteries tend to keep their charge longer when not used..
The Gomadic battery backup. I wrote a review of the Gomadic power accessories back in 2006 and I am still using them today. They also now have a dual charger which allows you to charge two mobile devices at once.
With the iPhone 3G and the Touch, Apple decided to abandoned the 12 volt DC Firewire charging in favor of the 5 volt USB charging. The unfortunate result for owners of older accessories is that they may not charge the iPhone 3G or Touch. Some innovative Swedes have come up with a solution. A little dock connector adapter which converts the Firewire 12 volt leads to the USB 5 volt leads. I reported on earlier but it is now available and shipping.
That work!! Awesome THX for sharing
