We all love our iPhones don't we? The large screen, the touch screen interface done well, and the apps oooooh the apps. But I'm no Apple Cultist, I'm the first to admit the iPhone has one giant blaring flaw that 3 editions in they still haven't fixed. The battery life sucks so much it may as well be a vacuum.
If you're anything like me you'll find that a single late night where you forgot to plug in your phone, or even just pottering about on social media sites too much at a Twitter meet up will find you howling as your phone merrily shuts itself off and you are left in the technological dark ages, desperately hoping that someone, anyone has an iPod dock you can borrow.
Well no more. I have found the best iPhone accessory ever.Dexim make a series of extendable portable batteries with a difference. They're USB, they contain more than one phone charge and they're slim, stylish and easily pop into your handbag. Not since my first USB 3G stick modem have I been so happy with a portable telecomms device.
The batteries take a fair while to charge but my foldable 'media stand' come portable charger gives me a full 2 phones worth of charge on the run, perfect for those mornings talking and texting all the way on the commute. There are a number of options including ones for blackberry and for any mini USB media device but really, it's the way it frees up my iPhone that really has won my heart.
In the US there are a number of co-branded Brookstone version, in Australia they claim retail channels through Dick Smith and CellNet so enquire at your local store. Or alternatively purchase online through Amazon. Highly recommended.
