iPhones and iPods Can Run 10 to 15 Hours Longer, Thanks to the iPowerRush Charger
| Source: iPowerRush
EUGENE, OR--(Marketwire - December 14, 2007) - The new iPowerRush increases the run time of the
iPhone, iPod and iPod Touch devices by more
than 50 percent. The charger,
which extends operation an average of 10 to 15 hours, is available now for
$29.95 at www.iPowerRush.com.
The first charger capable of operating and quickly charging every iPod
device, iPowerRush is powered by six AAA batteries and equipped with a
power on/off slide switch. A push-button power indicator indicates the
amount of reserve left in the unit. An automatic limiting circuit prevents
overcharging the device. The unit's slim design (2" by 3 5/8" by 1/2")
makes it extremely portable.
"This is a great solution for a major drawback of the iPhone," said Ben
Freedman of Neo-Fight.tv, an online technology review site. "It means that
mobile professionals and other enthusiasts can use the products for a
significantly longer time between charges, dramatically increasing
convenience."
Apple estimates the iPhone battery can accommodate up to eight hours of
talk time, six hours of Internet use, seven hours of video playback, 24
hours of audio and 240 hours of standby time. It's estimated that
iPowerRush extends talk time by four hours, Internet use by three, video by
3.5, audio by 14 and standby by 120 hours.
"This is a great holiday present for all iPhone and iPod users, especially
since the iPhone and iPod batteries are not user-replaceable," said Ken
Klarfeld, president of Fusion Audio Technologies, Inc., the U.S.
distributor of the product.
To replace an iPhone or iPod battery, a user must return the unit to Apple.
Replacement, which takes about three working days, costs $79 and $59
respectively, plus shipping. Replacing the battery will clear all data from
the phone.
The two products are some of the most popular consumer electronics devices
ever. More than 100 million iPods and one million iPhones have been sold
since their introductions in 2001 and 2007. "Time Magazine" just named the
iPhone the "gadget of the year."
The iPowerRush is available at www.iPowerRush.com for $29.95 plus shipping
and handling. The AAA batteries are not included. For more information,
