TuneJuice, emergency power for your iPhone
Tuesday, March 9, 2010 at 11:30AM | Glyn Evans Since launching this blog way back in November 2008, I have looked at and reviewed several power solutions for the iPhone. All of these solutions have been in the form of a case with built-in battery, but these add extra weight and bulk to the iPhone. Whilst these battery packs keep you shooting for longer, I have found these also run flat, so I went in search of an alternative solution. There are plenty of options out there, but I settled on the TuneJuice from Griffin Technology, which is as simple as they come. This simple no frills power pack will recharge or power your iPhone, but the best part is it uses 4 AAA batteries which means you can take spare batteries with you on a shoot or trip, and if you should run out, you can pop in to the nearest store of petrol/gas station and pick up some fresh ones; so for me this has become my default battery pack.
If you are interested in the TuneJuice, then if you are in the UK you can get it from Amazon priced at £17.99, or if you are in the US, you can get it direct from Griffin Technology priced at $29.99.

This can be really handy for all those iPhone users. It's really irritating when you have no other option when your phone run out of battery, so with this now its not a problem
glyn, have you tried the gum pro? http://applereviews.com/gum-pro-for-iphone/ i'm using it as my battery backup and i am very pleased with it.
@deborah. No I haven't, but it looks interesting, although at £40.00 GBP it's a little pricey, but I may get one to test and compare.
i thought the idea of batteries would be much more effective out in the field, but then i read these reviews: http://store.apple.com/us/product/TU370VC/A and opted for the gum pro instead, although i don't like being completely dependent on non-battery electricity. but that said, i really like the gum pro - it charges the iphone extremely quickly and i like its shape and size. i look forward to your review!
