This thing should kill reception and transmission power on the iPhone, if only looking at it logically.  It's a great idea, as long as the iPhone doesn't suffer signal reception or transmission degradation.  We'll see what further testing reveals. That's my 2 cents.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[E.

They promised me that I could charge both the internal and juice-pack batteries with the one cable. If this is the case, what's the switch on the bottom for ? Also, the second primary element was pass-thru sync. I see that there is no dock connector, just the mini-USB. If I plug this in to my Mac or PC, does it both sync and charge through the USB connector ?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kevin Kenna]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 20th 2009 3:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on mophie Juice Pack Air hands-on and impressions]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/</guid><description><![CDATA[Picked one up today at the Apple Store.

Picked up the Juice Pack air last week.  After a full week of testing, I can officially confirm that the signal degrades SUBSTANTIALLY with this case/battery.  I can sit in my living room, still as the night, and remove my case, watch the bars go from 1 to 5, then put the case back on...signal goes from 5 to 1 (sometimes 0), and repeat this over and over and over and over and over...same thing happens each time.  I even went so far as to do this over the course of a few days, and had the exact same results.  I contacted Mophie customer support who said I should take it back to the Apple store for an exchange to try a new unit.  I have not had a chance to do that yet.  As far as the battery life is concerned, it's as advertised.  The battery will run out in about 10 hours without use, if you keep the battery turned on.  It gets a little bit hot for my taste as well.  Looks great, fits extremely well, fit and finish are excellent.  If you don't care about signal, this is the one for you!  I am sure we're going to start hearing much much more about the signal problems.  It's so bad, that I would venture to guess that there may be some sort of class-action suit in the near future if they don't get this fixed ASAP.  Again, I'm getting a replacement case this weekend, so I'll see if it's a fluke.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Paul Bondy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 30th 2009 11:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on mophie Juice Pack Air hands-on and impressions]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have the current Mophie and it works quite well.  I live in a very warm climate and they put these grip strips on the side of the original one and the heat activates the glue.  It gets messy on a hot day in a car.  As far as the battery life, I can assure you it works as advertised.  I fly all over the US and watch movies on the plane.  I've never run out of power with the Mophie attached.  Note:  If you fly on Boeing 737, there are cigarette lighter (below seat) between each seat in case you need to charge your cell phones.<br><br>Excellent product!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Grant]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 7th 2009 8:06AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on mophie Juice Pack Air hands-on and impressions]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/</guid><description><![CDATA[why? why are we talking about extended packs?

I currently only use the invisible shield for my phones protection. Something to make all of you aware of is that even though the invisible shield is very small it will not fit in this case unless you remove the back coating of the shield.  Now here's the problems I've ran into with this case.  First when I put my phone in the case I get a message stating that the device is not compatible with iphone and it wants me to turn on airplane mode to reduce interference and I will not be able to make or receive calls in this mode.  So that sucks huh?  Well I answer no to the airplane mode and then I watch my signal go from 4 bars to 2 bars.  Much like many others have stated as well.  But even though the phone says its not compatible it will still charge my phone and appears to work fine.  Until I keep investigating and I find out that for some reason I have no audio at all!  The whole phone is muted, games, ringtones, ipod, all of it.  Then I look for the number to call mophie and I see in very small print that they charge a 20% restocking fee.  20%!!!  That's insane!  Worst part about that is when I made my purchase online nowhere did it say anything about this!  I'm disappointed with the first impressions this device has given me.  I have filed a claim and hope to get a device that works the right way in about a week.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 19th 2009 6:18PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
