Reviews

  • Samsung N110

    An easy-to-use netbook with a long battery life, but there are cheaper options.

  • Aigo aiPower

    The aiPower is built well and works as advertised, but its awkward design means you'll likely detach the unit as soon as your iPhone battery is replenished.

  • Samsung N310

    The Samsung N310 is a fashion-conscious netbook that boasts a stunning design, but is pretty bog-standard in terms of features.

  • Tesla Roadster

    It might be pricey and limited to the US and Europe, but the Roadster is an exciting glimpse into our, potentially, electric car future. Battery technology sure has come a long way since GM's ill-fated EV1.

  • Richard Solo 1800

    It's not exactly what we want in a backup battery for the iPhone, but it's the best of the bunch we've seen so far.

  • 3GJuice

    3GJuice will recharge your iPhone/iPod and its design shouldn't offend too many hardcore Apple aficionados.

  • Dexim BluePack

    If looks aren't important, this battery pack is just the ticket to expand the iPhone's ordinary battery life.

  • Apple iPod (4th Generation, 20GB)

    Can Apple's fourth-generation iPod beat the battery curse?

  • Toyota says electric cars too pricey, for now
