Been cursing your iPhone 3G’s disappointing battery life? Don’t have the heart to saddle the thing with that big ol’ Juice Pack? The Power Slider by Incase promises to double your phone’s power for up to 5 hours talk time on the 3G network (10 hours on 2G), increase your audio playback time to 26 hours, and increase your video playback time to 7 hours. If that wasn’t enough, the iPhone can be left in the case while you sync it — saving wear and tear on the case and on your phone. While the Slider isn’t as svelte as your raw, naked iPhone, at the very least it manages to keep roughly the same shape (even if it does fatten it up Truly a bit). No pricing yet, should be available starting November 28.

Incase Power Slider for iPhone 3G doubles the juice, lets you sync originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Mon, 17 Nov 2008 17:27:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

That Tocco-esque T919 rumored for T-Mobile is looking pretty legit at this point on account of FCC docs that seem to totally validate what we’d heard about the phone so far, which means that the Dream is likely plan to have to share a little — okay, a sliver — of the T-Mob spotlight come this fall. FCC-confirmed specs include EDGE on the 850 and 1900MHz bands, AWS HSDPA, Bluetooth, AGPS, and a touchscreen; in other words, one hell of a high-end dumbphone to help christen a 3G network that still has that new-RF smell. While there’s technically no indication in the documents that T-Mobile’s actually the destination, it make sense given the 1700MHz support, since it really wouldn’t have anywhere else to go. Samsung, we patiently await your official confirmation in this place.

it seems like T-Mobile is listening folks — and they appear to be responding. In a statement we’ve just received from the company, they tell us that they’re killing the hard-line approach to Dat. capping, saying instead they’ll reserve the right to cap a “small fraction” of users who abuse the network. In their words:

“Our goal, when the T-Mobile G1 becomes available in October, is to provide affordable, high-speed Dat. service allowing customers to experience the full Dat. capabilities of the device and our 3G network. At the same time, we have a responsibility to provide the bes. network experience for all of our customers so we reserve the right to temporarily reduce Dat. throughput for a small fraction of our customers who have excessive or disproportionate usage that interferes with our network performance or our ability to provide quality service to all of our customers.

We removed the 1GB soft limit from our policy statement, and we are confident that T-Mobile G1 customers will enjoy the high speed of Dat. access over our 3G network. The specific terms for our new Dat. plans are still being reviewed and once they are final we will be certain to share this broadly with current customers and potential new customers.”
