Good news for all iPhone and iPod Touch users. Well, not for all, because only 3G and 3GS versions of iPhone and 2nd generation od iPod Touch are supported at this time. Now you can charge your devices on the go via solar panels attached to the case of your device. Case itself has integrated battery, and you can charge it with or without connecting the device. Very useful, especialy if you are lost in some African desert, or stranded on some tropical island. You won't get network coverage there, but at least you can listen to music and play games until help arrives

Apple has just announced a new product that bridges the gap between iPhone and MacBook. We expected a lot from Apple's tablet, but instead got a pretty simple device. Check out the specs of the new device on the market – iPad. Key points are:

• 9.7" display with 1024×768 resolution
• Dimensions: 243×190x13 mm, 680-730 grams
• WiFi + 3G
• 16/32/64 GB Flash memory
• Not a real computer – multitasking filed under "?"
• Runs all iPhone apps either in native or double resolution

To sum it up – we are not impressed.
