Stay charged with Konnet PowerV Duo

The PowerV Duo is a new way to charge Wii remotes and other devices. It works the same way as the Powermat or the Duracell myGrid. All you have to do is lay your Wii remote in the charging bays and let them charge. You don't have to plug them into anything or take off the motion plus jacket or the silicone. If that's not enough the PowerV Duo also has two USB ports to charge anything with USB capability. And if two is not enough, you can buy the PowerV Quad which comes with four charging bays, but no USB ports. The PowerV Duo comes with two rechargeable Wii remote batteries, and comes in either black or white.

iPhone case music to keyboard enthusiasts' ears

Apple has made a case for the iPhone that comes with a keyboard. It was built for the people that like using a keyboard that isn't touch. Although this little device is neat and is a good idea, there is some problems with it. It works via wireless Bluetooth network and there is no way to connect it otherwise. The bad part is Bluetooth drains the battery of the phone and the keyboard has its own battery as well. So instead of keeping one device charged you now need to keep two devices charged. The postive thing about the wireless keyboard is that you get to type on a fullscreen, rather than half the screen which is normaly taken up buy the touch keyboard.
