Sure, iPhone chargers are a dime a dozen, and most of them are a snore-fest, we know. Mili's just-rolled-out Phonesuit Power Pack is eye-catching enough to bring to your attention though. The spiffy looking charger is packing an 1,800 mAh battery which supposedly gives up to 350 hours of standby time, 6 hours of talk / browsing (3G), 12 hours of EDGE use. The only mildly interesting feature of the device is the mini USB port which allows you to charge a device other than your iPhone. This baby comes in 8 designs, and it's going to run you about $80 if you want to nab one.

Now if it also has a integrated dock connector, it would be pretty nice.
Well, you can charge and sync with the mini usb port on the bottom, and you can charge other devices with the USB out port, but I want to put the whole thing in my iHome clock radio, but no can do with this one. No integrated dock connector is a fail.
Nice, but it will really be cool when Apple or another company release a game pad extension with a built in battery, and kill two birds with one stone.
A game pad extension. For your iPhone. I can't imagine a way to look like a bigger tool.
I don't know... maybe naming yourself after anti-virus software??
AVG got owned!
Nice on roach
AND using their logo as your avatar.
OH SHIT ROACH YOU PWNED ME! Your name is much cooler.
Phonesuit up!
I wish they would add a2dp to something like this, then I could get an iPhone.
$80 is steep. I think you'll see these in the bargain bin next year for $20.
I don't see it as that steep. 1800 mAh batteries are typically over $40. This has one of those, electronics for charging and power management, the ability to charge other devices, and also acts as a case.
If it had an integrated dock connector I'd probably get one for $80.
Really? Maybe I'm no judge. I still can't believe I pay $2.40 for a slice of piazza!!
Wasn't it less than a dollar recently???
And 90 cents for a plain bagel - nothing on it.
Ugggh - just looking at those prices makes me mad.
Things should never be more expensive than the first time you buy it.
$80?! No thanks.
Also, what's the point of the colors? The phone is going to cover up that part anyway.
Crap, I was going to say the same thing. Colors on the inside ONLY? The things appear to be either gray or black on the outside. Huh?
spam is fail.
Well, considering it looks a lot like the Mophie product that sells for $100, I think it's a good price. However, it looks too much like the Mophie product...to the point that I thought Mophie had changed their name.
Are the usage stats in addition to what you already get in terms of battery life? If so, that's not so shabby...
If one of these iphone battery accessories included adding connectivity using the missing bluetooth profiles (A2DP, etc) to the iPhone, I would be all over this.
I wish they had something like this for my HTC Diamond.
