Appletell reviews the Kensington iPhone Car Mount
So, you have the iPhone and the GPS app, but there’s still at least one more thing you need: a car cradle. You can’t just go driving with it in your hand, and it won’t work very well on the passenger side seat. In my endless pursuit of the perfect car cradle, I took a look at Kensington’s solution.

IPEVO’s Kaleido picture frame is surely a step ahead of the rest as far as digital picture frames go. Sure, it displays your pictures, but what digital picture frame doesn’t? It has to do more than that to stand out, and you guessed it, it does. What’s so unique about the Kaleido R7 is that it can be filled with images over your home’s wireless network. It can even get them on its own from the Internet without you lifting a finger.
Appletell reviews HyperMac’s External MacBook Power Battery
Apple has made their best effort to maximize battery life in their notebook line, but sometimes it’s just not enough. Even if battery life has been extended since previous models, the new MacBooks don’t support swapping of batteries (at least not in a usable fashion). So, what do you do? Call up HyperMac I imagine. They have a new external battery, and it does its job.
