Power to the iPhone
The iPhone 3G wasn't out for more than a day before people started complaining about the battery life. If you're on the road for hours and away from your charger, here are a few products designed to boost your battery and keep that iPhone running as long as you are.
iPhoneck Backup Battery for iPhone. It may add a couple of inches onto the end of your iPhone, but iPhoneck's backup battery also adds on several hours of usage. Models are available for both the original and iPhone 3G. ($30-$35; www.iphoneck.com)
Mophie Juice Pack. It's an iPhone case! No, it's a backup battery! Wait, it's both. Mophie's form-fitting lithium polymer battery (housed in a soft-grip case) adds eight hours of talk time and six hours of Internet time when you're on the go. It's designed for the original iPhone, but a 3G version is in the works. ($100; www.mophie.com)
XtremeMac inCharge Auto. If the 12-volt outlet in your car is the only place you can gas up your iPhone during the day, this sleek black charger should do the trick. A self-resetting fuse keeps the power flow nice and even to your trusty companion. ($20; www.xtrememac.com)
