Kensington’s iPhone battery packs: one umbilical, one integrated

5-5-08-kensington-chargers.jpg

Without any ability to pop out one battery and slam in another, the iPhone certainly requires a few on-the-go battery charging solutions. No surprise that your local Apple store is stocked up the wazoo with them, and Kensington’s latest offerings are just two more clowns crammed wokka-wokka-style into the telephone booth.

The larger of Kensington’s battery packs will give you an extra 100 hours of music and 6 hours of talk time for $70, but the obvious disadvantage is lugging around a battery pack almost the size of the iPhone itself. I have to say, I see little reason to upgrade past Kensington’s lither, integrated model: for $50, it gives an extra 30 hours of music and 3 hours of talk time, which should be enough to get you over the hump of the most bladder-bursting of airport tarmac delays.
