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.

I know there a some weird and wonderful iPhone apps out there but an iPhone app secially developed to zap your zits and rid you of your wrinkles while you chat on the phone! WTF!?

Dr Greg Pearson’s AcneApp uses 420 nanometer blue light and 550 nanometer red light to help kill bacteria and promote collagen growth and the best bit, it only costs around £1.20 and apparenlty works on your skin whily you chit chat you day away, errrr result. He told the New York Times: ‘This would have to go through a lot more clinical study before I could quantify its efficacy.’ but that he was ‘fascinated by the concept that users would potentially be able to treat their acne while talking on the phone.’

However, as you can imagine critics of the new app incluing an NY dermatologist Dr Macrene Alexiades-Armenakas, are sceptical about the AcneApp really working, stating: ‘In studies we’ve done, data has shown that both blue and red light have a low efficacy range in acne treatment.’ As well as the possible harmful effects of ultraviolet rays while the iPhone or iPod Touch is being used. 

 Mmmm what do we think girls? is this app hot or not?
