Need a boost? Powerblock Reserve for the iPhone and iPod

Always want to surf, talk or listen to more tunes on the go but run out of juice? Then you need one of these handy Powerblock Reserves. It’s a unique power device that combines Griffin’s best-selling PowerBlock AC wall charger for USB devices with a detachable reserve battery for the iPod and iPhone.

In Apple stores from February, the innovative PowerBlock Reserve battery is held in place on the wall charger by way of a unique magnetic connection, and charges simultaneously with any other USB devices connected. Once charged, the compact reserve battery detaches from the charger and fits easily into a pocket, so you will never be without power when you need it – simply connect your iPod or iPhone for a quick and safe energy boost.

The PowerBlock Reserve also features:
• A built-in USB port for charging any USB device
• An LED indicator on the battery pack, which lets you know the available charge at the touch of a button.
• Two international versions, with appropriate plug adapters, for the EU and UK and for Australia.

Available at Apple stores from February priced £29.99.

MyPhones headphones for kids

These are a great idea as most kids today have an array of gadgets that require headphones. MyPhones have been built to cap volume at 85 decibels and are supra-aural, meaning that they sit outside the ear with no parts entering the ear canal. Little ears will now be properly protected.

They can also be customized which kids love to do – they can design their own shell caps, swap with friends and mix and match to make theirs a completely unique and personal set. There’s even a GoCase, which stores and protects the MyPhones, meaning the kids can grab them and go when they want to enjoy music and games on the move. As well as giving youngsters the excitement of their own headphones, MyPhones give parents confidence that their children are enjoying audio safely and responsibly.
