Mophie iPhone 3G Battery Extender Available For Preorder, Shipping This Month

9:59PM John Herrman | Mophie’s wraparound battery extenders for the first iPhone provided some relief to incessant browsers and movie-watchers, and they’re looking to adapt their “Juice Pack” to the even more anemic iPhone 3G. What does this pack offer that the others don’t? A mini USB port for syncing and charging and Apple’s coveted “Works With iPhone” certification, which Mophie assures us will come through soon (their 1st gen packs had it, so they’re probably telling the truth). The extenders should ship by the 30th of October, pending Apple’s final decision on the certification, but are available for preorder now at $US100. Battery life claims are below. [Mophie]

Tower by mStation Is One Tall Drink of iPod

12:25AM Wilson Rothman | The three-and-a-half-foot tall $299 mStation Tower is 2.1 channels of elegant design that sits in the corner—or perhaps in the centre of an otherwise bare loft space—and pumps out music to the tune of 100 total watts. Inside that barrel chest is a 5.25″ dedicated subwoofer, and there are four 2″ midrange drivers and two 1″ tweeters, too. The 10-key remote gives you EQ and playlist management, and the USB jack and aux input give you extra options for syncing and adding other sources.
