Ok... I'm officially a Free Loader now...
« on: August 09, 2008, 05:27:40 PM »
I got myself one of these... due to the iPhone's stupidly short battery life when in 3G mode...

Seems pretty cool, Though I've only really been using it as a backup battery anyone else tried it?

Any idea how long it would allow an N95 to continuously play high quality music videos?

I've not had a chance to try the Solar charge part yet... but it provides the iPhone with one complete charge... So that means about 14hours of video playback on the iPhone... I guess it would be the same on the N95

Why is the lifespan so short? Is it continuously polling the network for emails or something?

If I don't surf the net, the battery life is perfectly aceptable, even when listeing to music all day and checking my Emails every 5 mins... but I can't help it, surfing the net is just so easy on the iPhone...

You know you've got a problem when you're surfing the net while you're having a poo.

Oh, you should wash your hands after you read the last email I sent you.

That looks Very cool!

I should do a review of it.....so, if I understand this correctly, it has an inbuilt battery that gets filled up from the solar cells and you can use that to push life into your iphone....and it lets you directly use the solar panels as energy???

gimmy some details

thanks
