I need a 3G Smoothie...

You might want to refrain from ever saying that as you exit the gym locker room, or a rest stop.

(Not that there's anything wrong with it)....

So, can we now all agree to put the "but it does not have a remove-able battery so its not very useful for business!!" arguement???

LOL grin

Juice pack! So now iPhone gets a Blackberry Juice!? It sure does get as fat as Blackberry juice when you add it to your iPhone!

Aug 05, 08 - 10:08 am Comment from: HMCIV

Sorry ElderNorm. Now that it HAS a removable battery, it means you have to fumble with spares all day long. What a hassle. No APPL stock for you! cool grin

Aug 05, 08 - 10:18 am Comment from: minime

Wow, only $100 for a battery. What a breakthrough!!

Is it stamped with "union made" or something?

Aug 05, 08 - 10:24 am Comment from: Orange Juice

At least this one looks cool and protective.

Aug 05, 08 - 10:28 am Comment from: madgunde

Nice looking product. They should sell a lot of these for those who find their iPhone's battery dying before the end of the day. My guess is business users who use the iPhone as a mobile computer will find this indispensable.

Aug 05, 08 - 10:42 am Comment from: THE.MAC.GOD

Now, are those times JUST for the power pack?

Or, are they with the iPhone's time combined?

Aug 05, 08 - 10:43 am Comment from: Macaday

I reckon this will sell very very well.

Good luck to them.

Aug 05, 08 - 10:45 am Comment from: erk

nice product, needs to be a good 40-50 cheaper and they will sell like mad, at 100, they aren't going to sell much at all imo

and is the battery replaceable? !!!!!

Aug 05, 08 - 10:50 am Comment from: TowerTone

Hey! I passed the Fake TV Doctor exam!!!
Woohoo!
Now I am going to rake in the fake money....

Aug 05, 08 - 10:58 am Comment from: Anonymous©

$50 is the right price!

Aug 05, 08 - 11:08 am Comment from: MizuInOz

I had (still have) a Juice for my 1st Gen iPhone and it was the best thing since sliced bread! Yes, it is protective and electrifying! And it really does extend the talk time, view time, surf time and bebop times! I never ran outta juice - evva!

@erk - they couldn't keep them in stock at $99.95 - I guess not everyone is a cheapskate! & The flipping thing IS the battery! Go look on the website.

With The Juice attached, the iPhone is almost as big as a Blackberry.

Someone needs to make a battery pack in a swiveling stand format.

TowerTone,

"Hey! I passed the Fake TV Doctor exam!!!"

That was FAKE! Dammit, I performed an appendectomy the other day.

I think someone should convert AK-47s to hold an iPhone and 30 rounds of AA lithium ion batteries. When the battery gets low you pull the trigger and a fresh one is loaded.

The upside: Nobody's gonna mess with you.
The downside: Traveling by air.

@ THE.MAC.GOD:

"It offers the following additional hours of use for Apple iPhone 3G"

Note the word: additional.

Aug 05, 08 - 01:20 pm Comment from: Ferf Muckmeyer

Me want one. Me will buy one. Me think $99 good price.

Aug 05, 08 - 02:44 pm Comment from: Kji

... looks like it covers the mic and speaker? I wonder if it downgrades the audio...

Aug 05, 08 - 03:00 pm Comment from: Andy

Does it come in a choice of flavors?

Aug 05, 08 - 03:47 pm Comment from: Wingsy

It's 100 bucks cause it's the only one out there right now. I'll wait for a bit until more competition arrives. This thing shouldn't be a penny over $50.

CandyGram for Mungo!

Andy,

"Does it come in a choice of flavors?"

Just 'Lectric Lemon Lime.

"That was FAKE! Dammit, I performed an appendectomy the other day."

But was it on TV? Cuz that's what's impotent....like a vasectomy.

Aug 05, 08 - 06:21 pm Comment from: Sir Gill Bates

TowerTone,

Well, I did make a video. How about I put it on YouTube?

Aug 05, 08 - 07:29 pm Comment from: therepguy

Now that's a winner...

Aug 05, 08 - 11:16 pm Comment from: TowerTone

Sir Gill
only if you are performing the procedure on yourself.
that would be interesting....

Aug 05, 08 - 11:51 pm Comment from: Sir Gill Bates

TowerTone,

Oh yeah, like that guy in the commercial who's standing in the kitchen with a paring knife and getting instructions over the phone from the surgeon.

Let me get back with you on that one.

Aug 06, 08 - 09:54 pm Comment from: @Loru
