We were just talking about extended battery and power options for the iPhone the other night on the Just Another iPhone Chat TalkCast - and speculating about what new ones we might see when the 3G iPhone emerges. Today there’s news of a couple of new options from Kensington - with their Standard and Mini Battery Pack and Chargers for the iPhone (the Mini is pictured above and after the jump).
The Standard is a pretty, well, standard-looking brick that attaches to the iPhone via a dock cable, and offers considerably longer battery boosts than the Mini. The larger Standard model extends play time to up to 100 hours (music) / 6 hours (talk). The Mini offers up to 30 hours (music) / 3 hours (talk). They go for $49.99 for the Mini and $69.99 for the Standard.
Even with its relatively svelte size, the Mini offers some strong batte
ry boost and features:
* Power and charge your iPhone or iPod
* Extends play time up to 30 hours of music*; 6 hours of video*; 3 hours of talk**
* Includes retractable USB charging cable to recharge battery pack
* High-capacity, rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery pack for increased energy efficiency
* Small enough to keep connected to your iPhone or iPod
* LED battery meter displays remaining power level
* *iPod nano 3rd generation **iPhone
I think the Mini looks like an excellent solution if you don’t need the bigger battery boost and / or don’t want the brick-like item to carry around. It just plugs right into the iPhone’s dock connector - that’s the sort of solution I could really see myself carrying and using all the time.
You can find more info on the Mini and the Standard at Kensington’s site.
