FastMac iV: Extend Battery Life of Your iPhone 3G
Posted by faraday at 9:04 AM Labels: Accessories, Battery, FastMac, iPhone Monday, November 3, 2008One of the first thing that I check when buying a new phone is of course, its MP3 playback features. After that I kindly inquire about the phone's battery life. What's an MP3 phone without a decent battery, right?. Sadly, a lot of phones fail to impress me in this category. Luckily, there are other options available...
Take for example the FastMac iV, an iPhone 3G extended battery and charger rolled into one. Basically it prolongs an iPhone's battery life upto 3 to 4 times! Here's quick round-up of its features:
- Upto 24 hours talktime, 750 hours standby, and a whopping 70 hours of audio.
- Additional USB Port so you can charge 2 devices at the same time.
- Built-in flash for camera use.
- It's a bargain at just $79.95.
But don't take my word for it. Visit the official page of FastMac iV for more goodies.
