Anyone who knows me knows just how much I have come to love the iPhone.  I patiently waited for the 3G version to come out and did not buy the first gen despite desperately wanting too.  Yes the iPhone 3G is the greatest piece of consumer electronics ever made to date but its not without its share of problems.

What problems you ask?  Well battery is the number one.  Actually the battery isn’t too bad considering all it does but if you have push email enabled your gonna burn through battery in no time.  With 3G on, and push enabled you will be luckily to have the phone make it through the day.

Thats where the Mophie iPhone 3G Juice Pack comes in.  This is the first battery accessory that is certified by Apple for the iPhone 3G.  It effectively doubles the battery life of the iPhone 3G.

The form factor is pretty nice, little thick pretty much doubles the iphones thickness but still fits nicely in ones pocket.  One of the nicest things about it in my opinion is the fact that it uses miniUSB and you can charge and sync your iPhone using miniUSB with this thing.  I like this alot because now I am not as dependent on keeping the Apple sync cable with me all the time.  It’s easier to find a miniUSB cable lying around some where then it is to find the Apple cable.

So far I am very pleased with this thing.  Next to the iPhone its one of my best purchases to date.  I highly recommend this device to anyone with an iPhone 3G who travels or uses the iPhone as a blackberry replacement with push email enabled.
