Incase Power Slider – iPhone Case With Built In Battery
We have seen many of the add-on batteries for the iPhone… and frankly most suck.

Card Mouse
I love this one… a mouse that fits inside of the card slot on your laptop… and recharges while it is plugged in to that slot as well. The mouse uses Bluetooth so no need for an additional dongle. Best idea I have seen in quite some time… should be a contender for product of […]
