Best of this product type 
2008-08-15
I've had several "battery packs" for iPods over the years but none have performed as well as this one - and none have had the flexibility of charging methods. I use it with my 80gb Fifth Gen. iPod and it gives me hours and hours of video time and since it charges the ipod battery, you can disconnect it when you don't want to be tethered and you'll have a fully charged iPod.
The fact that it uses a lithium ion battery instead of a NiMh battery is a BIG plus.
Excellent product.
Good power backup for an iPhone or iPod 2008-08-15
I have an iPhone 3G which needs to be recharged just about every day that it's used. That can be a challenge when I'm traveling, although if I have a laptop it's possible to recharge the iPhone via the laptop's USB port -- as long as the laptop has enough power to spare. The Kensington set is a good backup. It will fully charge a nearly exhausted iPhone battery in an hour or less. You can use the phone while you're charging it (although that means you'll use some of the stored power). The battery has a button that lights up a set of LEDs to show you how fully charged it is. It comes with both a wall plug and a USB cable. It's small enough to carry in a pants pocket. You also have to carry the included cable to connect it to the iPhoe or iPod. You could carry the whole set - battery, wall adapter and two cables -- in a jacket pocket.
The only thing that's missing is a case or bag with a drawstring. One or the other would be very helpful for storing the two cables, the wall adapter and the battery itself.

What a rip off price!
JR Computer sells for $49.99
Apple Store sells for $69.99
Currently, everyone is out of stock including this seller, why pay for $129 and wait for restocking like everyone else.
Works with iPhone 3G 2008-08-10
I can absolutely confirm that this works withthe iPhone 3G.
After searching around trying several devices including the Duracell PowerSource Mini which did not work, and various "USB charging
solutions which did not work, I sent an e-mail to Kensingtion. They confirmed to me that this works with the iPhone 3G. So I went to the Apple store to buy it.
Pros:
- USB charging port withs with the iPhone 3G
- Wall AC Adapter with USB port also charges the iPhone 3G
- Comes with a sync / charge cable that syncs fine with a PC, but also charges in PC USB port, battery pack, and Wall AC USB charger. Also, this cable does NOT need to have the sides depressed (just like the Apple USB sync cable), which is nice for easy insertion and removal.
- Battery pack is nice and small and light.
- Comes with everything you need to charge the iPhine and recharge the battery pack.
rad product 2008-08-01
I bought this for a flight to asia. Its a great deal and seems to work fine. I also wanted to be able to plug it in over there too, and while it takes an adapter, it does accept 220.

Solves all my Power issues 2008-06-19
My life just got better when I bought this battery pack.
I travel quite a bit, and have all the adapters and inverters and other power tools most businessmen have, but this little unit gives me exactly what I need for 2-3 day trips.
I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to throw my iPhone against the wall because the power was gone and I needed to make a call. Or how many times my iPod Video died on me mid-show.
I keep this battery pack in my laptop case, and i have immediate power anywhere & anytime. my iphone fully charges off this thing. My ipod fully charges. It's perfect.
Plus great value...you get an AC Adapter w/USB port (like what Apple charges $30 for), as well as a USB to iPod/Iphone cable (like what Apple charges $19 for!), and a USB to Mini-USB cable (so you can charge the batter from AC adapter...but you can also use it to charge any mini-USB devices, like a Razor). All this plus the battery pack itself.
I may get a second unit to keep in my car...maybe the mini version instead.
I highly recommend this to anybody how has had their iPhone or iPod die on them (which I'm sure is everybody!).
Best accessory for my iPhone! 2008-06-09
This has been the best accessory that I've bought for my iPhone so far.
I took it on a short business trip to Europe. Not only was I able to use it to recharge my iPhone from ZERO to FULL on the plane and train (ie. Eurostar), but my husband discovered the included mini usb cable can recharge his BlackBerry as well. So we are able to share this one device for several of ours.
On top of that, the package included an iPhone sync cable. You can never have enough of these!
