Express your gadget love in public
30 01 2007
Can’t live without your MacBook, Treo or some other inanimate object that you adore? Tell the world about it and win a $500 gift certificate to one of five stores: Amazon, Best Buy, Apple, Target or Overstock.
The catch? None, really. You just have express your love in a video. Any video will do: DV Cam, Cameraphone, iSight, etc. Just be as creative as you can using the tools on hand.
The contest, produced by ShopWiki, ends on February 12th at 11:59 PM, so start storyboarding.
I’m always going on and on about my geek toys, so perhaps I’ll become inspired and shoot a quick video…using one of my geek toys.

Spare iPhone Battery: $14.99
29 01 2007A few weeks ago, I had two major reservations about getting an iPhone:
- No Microsoft Exchange support
- An inability to swap in a fresh battery
I can get around the Exchange support issue by using IMAP to retrieve email and sync my calendar, contacts and tasks using a cable.
That said, the final barrier to my purchasing an iPhone (other than scoring an acceptable WAF) is the iPhone’s inability to swap in a fresh battery when I need one.
But then, my brain got into hacking mode. You know this thing is going to have a Dock Connector, right? Well then, here’s my spare battery:
The Griffin TuneJuice Battery Backup for iPod
Originally designed to power your iPod “for those times when you just gotta have more than what your iPod battery can give you,” you can easily plug your iPhone into this puppy and power your iPhone for an undetermined amount of time. Your only additional cost will be the 9V battery you’ll need to put in it and even then, you could probably use a rechargeable one.
But, it’s discontinued, you say?
Well, there’s always the TunePower Rechargeable Battery Pack from Belkin.
Different brand, same concept. (Bigger price, though: $79.99) I’d prefer to purchase this one anyway, given the fact that it’s rechargeable, the battery life appears to be that much greater and its got a three year warranty.
There you have it - final objection removed. Now where is that damn iPhone!?!?!
