Add some light and power to your iPhone

Are you constantly frustrated by the poor job the iPhone’s camera does in low light situations?

The FastMac iv is a extended external battery for the iPhone that also has a flashlight which not only can help you see in the dark but can also add light for those times when the iPhone’s camera just isn’t getting enough.

Priced at $99.95 it’s on the high end of the price scale of external batteries but it’s the first and only accessory for the iPhone I’ve seen to offer a flash for the camera.

And you can still dock your iPhone in the iPhone dock while the battery is on!

FastMac claims it’ll give your iPhone three times the power of the built in battery.  It’s a whopping 3100 mAh battery that’s supposed to offer you 24 hours of talk time, 750 hours standby and 70 hours of audio.  It also features a USB out port which allows you to charge additional devices from the battery such as a bluetooth headset.

The iv is backed by a 30-day guarantee of FastMac even offers a trade in program which allows you to upgrade to future versions of the iv should the iPhone’s design change.

There are models for the first generation iPhone, the 3G and the iPod Touch.

You can find out more about the iv on the FastMac web site.
