Swiss Charger iPower for iPhone 4

What’s the big deal?

We do not review a phone this week, but something just as useful: the Swiss Charger iPower for the iPhone 4.

Who’s the phone for?

Those who love their iPhone 4 and are tired of charging their phones on a daily basis. We know, the wi-fi, email, Tweeting and Facebook-ing eats away at battery life.

Our 2 cents worth…

We like the handy kick-stand that lets you watch movies hands free, and of course the 20 hour extension of battery life. But it is not easy to take the cover on or off, and it adds a little more size and weight to your phone.

Google Nexus S

What’s the big deal?
After the Google Nexus One, they proclaimed there will be no more phones. But here we have another, with an appeal for those Anroid users who want a simple approach.

Who’s the phone for?
The phone has been described as 'Pure Google' so if you're a fan, you will love this.

The important stuff…

• Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
• Google Earth, Maps, Search, Talk and Voice
• Up to 6.7 hours talk time
• 16GB memory
• 1GHz Cortex A8 processor
• Screen has anti-fingerprint display coating
• Contour Display with curved glass screen
• 5 megapixel camera
  

Our 2 cents worth…
We love the size and the simple and easy interface, but it could do with a microSD card slot and better video and photo quality.

Sony Ericsson Xperia arc

What’s the big deal?
Sleek and sexy in a phone? That would be the Sony Ericsson Xperia arc. The slim design with a curved back measures a slight 8.7mm in thickness at the center and 10mm at the ends. It also has the Reality Display with Sony’s Mobile BRAVIA Engine which makes photos and videos much more vivid.

Who’s the phone for?
If you love a light phone that fits easily in the palm of your hand.

The important stuff…
This device includes:

• Up to 7 hours talk time
• Android OS, v2.3 (Gingerbread)
• SMS (threaded view), MMS, Email, Push email, IM
• Memory: 320 MB storage, 512 MB RAM
• 8 MP camera, 3264x2448 pixels, autofocus, LED flash
• 1GHz Scorpion processor, Adreno 205 GPU, Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon
• Google Search, Maps, Gmail, YouTube, Calendar, Google Talk
• Facebook and Twitter integration
• Document viewer
• Adobe Flash 10.2
  

Our 2 cents worth…
Sony Ericsson has taken everything that was good about the Xperia X10 to a better level, with a nicer look and feel overall. It is hard to believe that everything we like is crammed into such a thin body.
