iV

FastMac has just released their new TruePower iV, a iPhone battery charger and case with a built-in light that also works as a flash. It charges both the iPhone and battery at the same time and has an additional USB port so you can charge other devices. The iV sells for $79.95 and is available for both the original and new 3G iPhones.

The iV is an on-the-go mobile battery charger that allows you to continue using your iPhone even as you charge it. In addition to the 30-pin Dock Connector port used for charging and syncing your iPhone, the iV also has a full-size USB port that can simultaneously charge another device such as a Bluetooth headset, digital camera, iPod or even another phone. The iV also includes a built-in flash LED that can be used for emergencies and low light photos/ videos.

I've had mine for a week and it's been glued to my iPhone non-stop. The flash rocks when Im' using Qik or taking photos.

I remember seeing this at one of the Laughing Squid drink ups. It's a pretty impressive accessory. The website advertises 24 *hours* of talk-time? That's ridiculous. What is the capacity of the battery in that case? I couldn't find it on their website. It must be huge, something like 5600 mAh or so?

The iPhone 3G's battery is rated at 1400 mAh.

Apparently I’m late to the party on this, but it looks like an awesome accessory to have. I can see the built-in flash being handy for photos and the extended battery life is always a plus.

May have to look into this a bit more myself.
