Remember the new BenQ mobile internet device, presented at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona back in February? seem there are more details coming out, making us very curious about it. Apparently, the new MID will include an Atom processor, along with 512MB of RAM, a 4GB SSD drive, an optional GPS system, voice activation and a G-Sensor function, to easily switch between tracks, application and internet navigation. In addition, it will support HSDPA, WiFi 802.11 b/g and bluetooth 2.0+EDR connectivity, together with a built in camera and a 4.8-inch touchscreen. Still no word on price or availability but we’re getting close to zero hour.

Mophie Juice Pack Adds More Power To Your iPhone

If iphone battery doesn’t provide you the longevity you’ve been expecting from, there’s a nice solution that might answer your desires, as the Mophie Juice Pack is about to be released in the US, shortly. This new external battery device hooks to the back of your iphone, providing protection and additional hours of conversation, music and movies. According to Mophie, once the fixture is being attached, it extends your iphone activity and adds 250 more hours of standby, 8 extra hours of talk time, 7 additional hours of Video and another 24 hours of audio playback, which is really impressive, considering the original specs. Mind you, the pack weights 85 gm and measured at 60.96 x 120.65 x 19.05 mm, meaning your nice sleeky iphone turns into a bulky non pocketable handset. I guess it shouldn’t deter those who really need another extra battery time while driving to work or traveling abroad, but with a $100 price tag, it might faze our bank account. Great thing is that you can charge both iphone and Mophie pack at the same time without any special adjustments, and all buttons, back camera and the PC connection remain exposed, so you can continue using them without removing the Juice Pack. In addition, there’s a nice LED meter to notify you how much battery life was left before it drains. For more details, check the video after the break:
