Monoprice iPhone/iPod Battery Backup: Such a deal {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Oct 26th 2009 7:29PM I have gotten my iPhone / ipodtouch batteries from neoconsole.com. Huge selection of different kinds of externAl batteries.
My favorite one from the 3 I've purchased is the leather iPhone case with build in battery about half way down the page of their iPhone battery section

Some reports of iTunes issues while upgrading to 3.0 {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jun 17th 2009 7:06PM I was frustrated like everyone else by my inability to update my iPhone 3G to iPhone OS 3.0 due to the iPhone Activation server not being available. I wrote a quick 6 step fix for this, which has worked for myself and 14 others - flawlessly every time.
Please note: In order for the steps below to work, you MUST already have the iPhone OS 3.0 update on your PC/MAC which you downloaded either through iTunes or Apple directly.
1. Plug in your iPhone into your USB Port
2. Select Update
3. While on the Extracting screen for the update, quickly disconnect from the Internet. You MUST do this while it is extracting, as it will immediately try to contact the Apple Servers once it has extracted the update.
4. Your iPhone and iTunes will not even try to check in with Apple because they realize you are in offline mode. This will enable the update to go through and load onto your iPhone without having to call out to the Activation Server.
5. Now, when it's all done, you'll be "stuck" in emergency mode. No worries. Just unplug your iPhone from your USB (You'll still be in emergency mode) and go ahead and turn your internet back on again. Make sure to wait until your iPhone disappears from the list of devices in iTunes!
6. Once you are back online, simply plug in the iPhone USB cable again, and then iTunes will quickly activate your iPhone in a matter of just 2-3 seconds.
Enjoy iPhone OS 3.0 :)

How's the iPhone OS 3.0 upgrade going for you? {Engadget}
Jun 17th 2009 6:38PM Hi,
As an iPhone user (addict?) myself. I was frustrated like everyone else by my inability to update my iPhone 3G to iPhone OS 3.0 due to the iPhone Activation server not being available. I wrote a quick 6 step fix for this, which has worked for myself and 14 others - flawlessly every time.

TeamCyclops announces DVD upgradability for CycloWiz modchip {Engadget}
Apr 4th 2007 8:43AM I think they are working on allowing DVD movie Playing, but if I recall, it'll be a homebrew development, and not something built into the chip itself, to make the Wii load and play regular DVD movies. I do wonder why they didn't include that feature (Nintendo I mean) when developing the Wii. As it's a great game system, and this would have given it one more useful function as it takes up space on our entertainment units.
My bet is on the Wiikey coming out with this first, they seem to innovate - based on the product description on the site.
Though the cyclowiz might do it as well, add support for this software to be loaded right from a DVD update.

Sony confirms PS3 controller redesign {Engadget}
Mar 23rd 2006 8:26AM I wonder why they don't just stick with the tried - tested - and true (read: current) design of the controller. The PSOne passed it on to the PS2, and there was good reason for it - it survived the transition because IT WORKS!!
There's absolutely NO REASON that they should even consider changing the look / feel / design of the controller. It's fine the way it it, and I am sure that it could handle a transition to the PS3.
Sony, why not take Microsoft's idea, and make only very SLIGHT changes to the controller while keeping the look / feel that all gamers love - the same!
