Like what most of the iPhone users have faced, the battery woes didn’t get fixed on iOS5.0.1. It is common to have iPhone being charged at least once a day.
At some point, I’m considering to get a battery case, instead of trying to squeeze little more power juice out of my iPhone by disabling 90% of the push notifications. I also give up that thoughts of getting some unknown China brand battery case, after aware of the China built quality.
Thanks to Amazon, here the Top 6 battery casings that worth to get.
Among most the of the battery case, this is the thinnest and the lightest one. It weights only 2 ounces and with only 9.6mm thickness. It is almost 5 – 8mm thinner than most of the battery case in the market.
What others say about it:
The Incipio Offgrid caught my eye because of how thin it is… for $45 I think its a steal… retail at $70. This case is just wonderful, battery charges my phone from 10% to about 75% which is great for only $45. It has a sleek design which i like. I bought this for my verizon iPhone 4, the edges are very close by the ringer switch but it does not interfere at all. headphone jack is recessed a lot ,but doesn’t bother me, my bose headphone fit the jack, and i bought a thin 3.5 M-M audio cable from scoshe, which does not fit btw, so i ordered an adapter. This case is great over all, definitely recommend!!
The main reason why only iPhone4S gets Siri is because it requires tremendous of processor power and only A5 able to cope with it. Obviously, someone has already hacked his own iPhone4 and ported Siri onto it.
The video shown that at several points there were some hiccup when running Siri.
At the beginning of this year, I covered how to get a Kindle to ship to Singapore, similar methods also can be applied to Kindle restricted countries. After that, the second most asked question I get was ‘How do I purchase Kindle books outside of USA?’.
Of course, if your countries not within the restricted region, you can directly purchase the ebook with your credit card. But I found out that United States Amazon will have the most complete book titles compare to other country Kindle stores. So, this might be a good reason for you to buy books on United States Kindle store.
Here are the steps from my experience:
You need to ensure you have set your country to United States
Go to Amazon.com -> Your Account -> Manage your Kindle -> Your Country
Select United States. I’m not sure whether it need a valid USA address for validation, but if you previously purchase your Kindle with a USA mail forwarder like me, then this won’t give you any issue.
Actual Ebooks Purchase
The method I used is buying some Amazon Gift Cards and email to yourself. So by doing that, you are able to top up your Amazon Account with some money credits. It sounds like some sort of money laundry, hehe.
This method bypasses Amazon from checking whether you have a USA credit card.
That’s all. If you have any other methods that worth sharing with our readers, leave a comment below!
During last week Apple keynote, a lot people got disappointed with iPhone4S barely because it doesn’t have new design. But what the significant improvement are right inside – the A5 chipset. But no one has the full picture how the A5 actually performs until today.
Here is a first hand benchmark report from MacRumors by comparing iPhone 4S and rest of the smartphone in the market including iPhone 4 and 3GS.
Like most residents living in Singapore, one thing always trouble us is the space of our living place. This company located in USA has some of the amazing furniture that effectively help people to save up spaces.
How amazing? Take a look at the video below and you will get what I mean.
Either you’re a Starwars or LEGO fans, there is a great deal to grab. Originally $139.99 LEGO StarWars Millennium Falcon 7956 now only for $104.99 and limited to free shipping for USA.
This is a massive and amazing set. I’m a huge fan of the original trilogy and lego so have been wanting to get a Millennium Falcon set for several years. Unfortunately I found most of them either far to expensive, or simply not worth the asking price. This one finally hit the sweet spot for me. For $139.99 (or cheaper if you buy it on Amazon or find it on sale) you get six minifigures and a 1200+ piece model that is nearly perfect.
The first thing that I truly love is that the set is pretty much in scale so that you can place all the figures in familiar settings inside the ship. The roof of the Falcon is made up of folding panels that can be opened to reveal most of the interior of the ship. They’ve included the table where they played virtual chess, Luke’s training droid, as well as control panels and beds. The cockpit is a separate section but still fits a figure (I’ve got Han on pilot duty naturally), and they even managed to work in the dual seat gunners pod and the hidden smugglers compartment.
