I love my
iPhone. It simply makes my life better. I love it. Enough said.What I don't like is the battery life. By the end of the day, I am on fumes. And when I travel, I often don't make it through the day without a charge. So, I am in the market for a battery extender, charger, whatever for my iPhone. There are two terrific options for the iPhone.
Mophie Juice Pack: This nifty sleeve slides right over your iPhone. It adds a little heft and thickness. But in terms of elegance and "always have it with you"ness, I think that the Mophie is spot on. Works with 1st Gen and 3G iPhones. $99.95 from www.mophie.com
RichardSolo 1800 for iPhone: The RichardSolo iPhone battery takes a different approach. Rather than being integrated on the device, the RichardSolo Battery is a nearly iPhone sized device that you use to charge your iPhone. If you carry a bag a lot, it could be the perfect thing to throw in your bag and keep there. The RichardSolo 1800 can also charge any iPod (except for the Shuffle). It also comes with a light and laser pointer on it...why? Mostly because he's Richard Thalheimer, the guy who founded the Sharper Image. It is available for $69.95 at www.richardsolo.com.
And finally, there is a really simple, really inexpensive backup charger available www.thepocketslution.com. You stick some AA batteries into a plastic doohickey, plug the doohickey into your iPhone. It says that 4 AA batteries will charge a dead iPhone 2.5 times. Well, I don't know if that is true, but at $7.99 it is worth a flyer!
Let me know what you think!

The battery life is the only downfall with these kinda phones. They've developed tech so much, but the batteries can't keep up.
