We’re not entirely convinced by the name 22Moo, but now that iPhone OS 3.0 supports third-party peripherals we’re sure we could find some bag-space for their GameBone Pro controller. Intended to be used with an iPhone or iPod touch, the GameBone Pro hooks up via Bluetooth or Apple’s dock-connector, and has an 8-way D-pad plus six buttons.
There’s also a 2,000mAh Li-Ion battery, which not only powers the GameBone Pro’s functionality but – if you use the wired connection – can recharge your iPhone or iPod touch, too. A row of LEDs shows charge status.
The controller also has integrated speakers, a microphone, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It’s set to hit shelves in mid-September, but we don’t know price yet; 22Moo are asking potential customers to suggest what they’d pay for the GameBone Pro, which seems like an obvious way to find your shiny new peripheral now costs fifty cents.

Seidio extended Palm Pre battery promises roughly double the juice
0 comments Posted by luna at 10:52 AMReviews of the Palm Pre have been generally positive, teething problems notwithstanding, but a common source of complain among reviewers and owners alike is the smartphone’s battery. Accessory manufacturer Seidio are never one to let an opportunity like that slim them by, and so they’ve announced that an extended battery for the Palm Pre, offering nearly twice the capacity of the standard pack, is in development.
Right now there are no exact figures being talking about. We’re assuming the image above is of a generic Seidio battery, because you can make out “1,350mAh” written on it and that certainly falls short of double the Pre’s standard 1,150mAh pack. Nor are the company discussing runtime estimates, though we’d hope for roughly a double lifetime which should guarantee the Pre all-day stamina.
A new, rubberized battery door which makes the Pre thicker “only by millimeters” will also be included, so if you already think the Palm smartphone is too plump then maybe this isn’t for you. No word on pricing or availability, but we doubt this will be the only aftermarket battery alternative to choose from.
