We've all seen those mini cellphone rechargers at airports, but Duracell has released a line of rechargeable pocket chargers that can refill any USB-compatible device (like iPhones) through compatibility with your own adapters. And our favorite model is cheap.

The Price

Duracell Instant Charger: $20
Duracell Powerhouse Charger: $50

The Verdict

Duracell's Instant Charger is a perfectly executed little gadget. And its older sibling, the Powerhouse Charger, isn't so bad either.

There's nothing complicated going on. These chargers are essentially a USB port loaded hooked to a lithium ion battery. But it just so happens, that's all you need.
The Instant Charger is the smallest of the line and by far my most favorite. It's small and nearly weightless in your hand, ornamented with a more-polished-than-necessary design. But after charging (via mini USB), the Instant Charger stores just enough power to refill your iPhone about halfway (for 180 minutes of 3G talk time)—or just snag a few more shots out of a digital camera—or power an e-reader—or pretty much whatever you want.

With no unnecessary buttons or (you'll only need to navigate an on/off switch) and a simple indicator light (red when charging, green when charged), Duracell's Instant Charger is a wonderful unitasker.
I wish the Powerhouse Charger had all the polish you see in the Instant version. Not counting a legitimately neat Mini-USB arm, from the less thoughtful finish to indicator lights that aren't readable in daylight, the Powerhouse just seems...cheap (which is ironic, given that the Powerhouse is supposed to be this line's Cadillac). But it stores enough power to charge an iPhone 3G or Blackberry Curve 1.2 times, or an iPod nano 4 times.

Most iPhone charging solutions involve cases we don't need or want, and they can easily reach $100. Now Duracell has a few products that can handle pretty much any USB device you can throw at them. And starting at $20, we can live with the investment. [Duracell]

21 days ago We've talked before about ways to control a BitTorrent client from the iPhone, and some unofficial developers have gotten it working in a jailbroken way. But apparently that's as far as we'll get — µMonitor, a little iPhone app to control µTorrent (a popular BitTorrent app that I use pretty often) was recently submitted to the App Store, and Torrentfreak reports that it's been rejected out of hand. This isn't the first time something like this has come up: Drivetrain, another torrent remote control tool, was also rejected back in May. Apparently Apple tells the developer that they are disallowing all types of BitTorrent-related apps “because this category of applications is often used for the purpose of infringing third party rights.” Often does not equal always, but technically that's another point: it's Apple's App Store, and they can take their ball and go home if they want.

Sure enough, a search of “torrent” on the App Store doesn't bring up anything related to the BitTorrent technology. You can still run µTorrent on your iPhone, although you'll have to jailbreak it and dive into the Cydia repository, where it's listed under “Utilities.” As for Apple's stance, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for things to change on this one — µTorrent isn't even an app that enables BitTorrent downloading; it just makes it easier (by accessing a client that's doing the work elsewhere), and if they aren't willing to pay heed to these distinctions now, it's not likely they'll bother in the future, either.

I wonder if they are rejecting it because they see themselves as an extension of the Internet police, or if they are worried about being sued some day as enabling people to break copyright law, should people choose to use this program for illegal means.

↓↑report3Fred said 1:26PM on 9-02-2009

I think it's pretty clear that they are protecting themselves from future litigation. It's a no-brainer, lawsuits always go after the guy with the most cash.

↓↑report4CHRiS said 1:35PM on 9-02-2009

oh it's pretty clear alright, but what isn't clear is why they don't ban it on OSX? - Since they don't ban it on OSX, but do ban it on a mobile phone, which by the way, this is only a “remote control” for the actual program… makes it a bit muddy and not so clear. Ban them on both platforms, or don't ban them at all if they are so scared.

↓↑report5BeyondtheTech said 1:23PM on 9-02-2009

They should have known it would be banned. In fact, they should have had the balls to use a screenshot that included torrents such as “Inglourious Basterds (2009) TS Mic - XviD-DEVISE” and “Angels & Demons 2009 R5 LINE-SecretMyth (Kingdom-Release).”

I love (meaning loathe) how you folks so casually skip over the part where torrents are primarily used to steal movies. Illegally. As an indie filmmaker who's film was on a torrent the DAY AFTER IT WAS RELEASED, I can assure you — you ARE hurting some of the 'little guys'.

Hear hear.

The internet is primarily used to steal movies too, shall we ban it too? Your argument is old, and never has and never will hold water. Shall we ban steak knives too? Since you can use them to kill people? Oh wait, let's also ban guns, plastic forks, anything sharp or any medicines that can be used as a weapon. I don't condone piracy, but I don't condone police states funded by commercial entities either. There is no balance whatsoever. Why don't you publish your movie online with some ads in it to help offset the cost of the piracy? It will be pirated - but guess what, I bet your distribution agreements won't allow it huh? That would eat into the distribution model profits. So guess what, time to make new partners, here is one you can ring up: hulu.com, apple @ itunes.com, yahoo.com, and lots of others. Put an ad in there, and tell your current distribution model to take it or leave it (with the ability to distribute it online as well). yes, you'll still have piracy, but you can't blame that - I mean FOR GODS SAKE look at the movie industries profit for the past 10 years, even during the US low economic times.

↓↑report9Todd Sieling said 1:43PM on 9-02-2009

Hurting with increased exposure? Hurting with people who likely were never going to be your customers anyway? I know it seems like a linear argument that 'download = stealing' but how much effort did you make to bring your film to digital distribution? But that's beside the point. You can't hate the technology because it's often used for something you disagree with. The CBC used bittorrent to distribute a tv event as an experiment, and it went just fine. It was bittorrent, but nobody got hurt. Nobody ever told distributors they couldn't charge for access to downloads and make them available by bittorrent, which would have offloaded the bandwidth costs by several orders of magnitude. Instead, they to hug the idea of old copyright, not innovate, and then sit and cry as the world changed around them and use the law as a bludgeon against their fans. I feel the struggle that any indie producer faces, but your anger is wrongly placed. Bittorrent is an incredible innovation that happens to work well for those who want to run while dinosaurs demand that they all walk slowly.

↓↑report10TW said 1:39PM on 9-02-2009

A better alternative - get Azureus (Vuze) and enable the web interface. There's already an iPhone-friendly version that a search for iZureus should turn up. It supports control of current torrents and uploading of new ones, and you can obviously create a bookmark that jumps straight to it like an app.

How much longer are we going to read about each “juicy” app that Apple rejects? We get it, Apple's playing it safe. Move on. Nothing to see here.

Until there is actually something real to write about. News about Apple are always rumours, guesses, opinions, etc. Never factual news until the day a new product is announced/launched. It's sad, but true. We all starve for Apple news and we can't get them from Apple as often as we'd like.

↓↑report13markrw said 1:50PM on 9-02-2009

So is it going to be news every time Apple rejects a torrent program? Most people will never know it is rejected an won't care.

After Journal News in this way, the two crooks running from the shop, and the police l? schte a description of the thieves.

While Prowl's designed for push notifications from a computer running Growl—opening up a world of possibilities—GVMax and Prey Fetcher push Google Voice SMS and Twitter messages via the web, without your computer running Growl 24/7.

The downside is that you're trusting your Google Voice and Twitter logins to third-party services, but if you wanna get push notifications about @mentions or DMs from Twitter or SMS messages from Google Voice without keeping a computer running at home with Growl whenever you're out, they're the way to go.

Any other services that use Prowl this way? [GVMax, Prey Fetcher, Thanks Zachary!]
