Manufacturer description
myPower combines the power of a rechargeable battery with the convenience of a portable dock. Now you can use just one device to power and sync your iPod on the go. myPower maximizes play time on your iPod, giving you up to 32 hours of extended play time on your 4G iPod, 20 hours on your 3G iPod, and 28 hours on your iPod mini. Now you can enjoy non-stop music - even when your iPod battery has nothing left to give. Just plug and go to download music via myPower's high-speed FireWire and USB 2.0 ports. You can even download music while you charge your iPod. Designed specifically for the iPod, the streamlined myPower complements the sleek look of the iPod. The attached belt clip provides you with hands free convenience, letting you carry your iPod while providing easy access to the iPod controls. Editors' review

Here's one for the frequent long-distance traveler: an all-in-one docking cradle, a USB/FireWire adapter, a belt clip, and (most importantly) a battery-life-extender for the dockable third- and fourth-generation iPods, as well as the iPod Mini. Drop a dead iPod into this and it springs back to life for an estimated 32 hours. Another benefit of the Tekkeon MyPower is that your iPod will be able to connect using standard USB and FireWire ports, rather than the proprietary cable that Apple includes. This shouldn't be high on most people's list of iPod accessories--try upgrading the headphones first. But for iPod users who regularly lose access to AC power for extended periods of time, it's essential.

You will never run out of power with this battery!by davidcmaggie - July 31, 2006
Pros: 7 hours of video. Like 3 movies in your hand!
Cons: cannot access iTunes with the FireWire cable, odd engineering error.
Review: This is one cool battery. I think it triples the listening and video of my 60GB. And again why no access to a lap top thru the firewire cord? Your comsumer duty is to never pay retail.
