No sooner did my iPhone 3GS become my new electronic partner than I began to think about protection – for it. If history shows anything, it is that I am not very kind to external surfaces of electronic equipment. Enter Speck Products and the new SeeThru hard shell case line.

The XM Radio Skydock for the iPhone is now available for a purchase price of $120. The dock allows you to insert your iPhone and obtain the XM’s satellite signal via a magnetic antenna that must be mounted on the roof of your car and snaked through to connect to the dock.
Once docked, in addition to being charged, your iPhone gives way to touch controls and a built in FM transmitter for getting the radio’s audio over your car’s stereo.
You’ll also need the special version of the free XM Radio iPhone application from the App Store, and of course a subscription to the service.
The Skydock is available at various online retailers and in brick and mortar stores such as Best Buy, Radio Shack and Apple.

After a few hours of heavy use, the iPhone 3G S battery really gets spanked! The only way to make it through a long day is with external power – which is no problem as long as you’re by an outlet or USB port. If you aren’t deskbound, an external battery pack is the best way to go. I’ve been using the Mophie Air, and I love it; but even so, I’ve had days when it just couldn’t take me all the way through. USB Fever has two iPhone external battery holsters that are worth a look if you have little time or opportunity to recharge throughout the day…

There was a certain check-list that many of my students went through prior to leaving for college this year.
College Admission – √
Emergency Credit Card – √
MacBook Pro – √
iPhone – √
Yes, that’s right, I know few if any students who went off to school with anything but a Mac and many grabbed a Mac and an iPhone. One of my kids, Zack had wanted an iPhone for the longest time. When he got it he was thrilled with everything… everything but the battery life.
Zack knows how much I rely on the Mophie Juice Pack Air. I mentioned to the folks at Mophie that I was afraid my Juice Pack Air would suddenly disappear one day if I left Zack alone in my study.
They were kind enough to send him one to use, review and keep. A few months later… here is what he has to say.
