They sell on Amazon, etc. Awesome product for extending iPhone battery life. I have one for my 3Gs.
Yeah, iPhones are for phone morons. But I didn't have a choice. When I had to bail on my heavily-hacked PalmOS Treo, Android wasn't supporting HanDBase, SplashID and the other software I so heavily depend upon for my smart phone. So iPhone was really my only logical choice. (It pisses me off that Android missed the boat.)
Software support will start defining a lot of smart phone decisions these days beyond just me. Wait and see.
And if you're really worried...

I did it and never had any trouble with my iPhone for more than a year now. But it's risky when it's done as you've probably heard so if you're gonna do it don't go on the cheap and hire an actual expert in Apple products in general and iPhones in specific. He'll probably ask for high figures as such technicians/engineers are really rare here in the Arab world but as long as he gets the shit done..
Apple made record profits and record revenues in the run-up to Christmas as shoppers bought more Macs, iPhones, and iPads than analysts predicted.
The company said that in the three months to 25 December, net profit was $6bn (£3.7bn) on revenues of $26.74bn.
Steve Jobs, Apple's chief executive, said in a statement: "We had a phenomenal holiday quarter."
There was no further mention of his health problems following Monday's news that Mr Jobs is taking medical leave.
While he is continuing as chief executive and will be involved in any major decisions, day-to-day running has passed to chief operating officer Tim Cook.
Apple's first-quarter profit is a 71% jump on the same period last year.
Daniel Ernst, analyst at Hudson Square Research, said: "Apple blew away earnings expectations, again. It seems to be a recurring event for these guys.
"It was across the board, top to bottom, another great quarter," he said.
The company sold 4.13 million Macs during the quarter, a 23% rise year-on-year, and 16.24 million iPhones, a leap of 86%.
iPod sales fell 7% to 19.45 million units. Apple sold 7.33 million iPads.
Shares in the company, which had fallen during the day, rose 4% in after-hours trading to about $354.
News of Mr Jobs' latest health problems came on a US public holiday, when financial markets were closed.
When markets re-opened on Tuesday, the shares immediately fell as much as 6%, but eventually closed down 2.2% in official trading.
The California-based company said that 62% of its revenues came from outside the US. In the Asia-Pacific market, which includes China, Apple said revenues almost tripled.
Medical history
Some analysts are concerned about what Mr Jobs' absence from Apple might mean for the company's future, as he has become inextricably linked with its success.
In his statement on Tuesday, Mr Jobs was very upbeat about the Apple's future. He said: "We are firing on all cylinders and we've got some exciting things in the pipeline for this year".
Despite Mr Jobs' previous ill health, the company's stock market value has approximately quadrupled in the past two years.
In late 2008 to mid-2009, Mr Jobs was absent from Apple for six months to have a liver transplant.

It was part of a series of treatments he has undergone for pancreatic cancer. He was first diagnosed in 2004 and underwent surgery later that year to remove a tumour from his pancreas.
"US investors are concerned about his absence," says Yair Reiner, stock analyst at New York investment firm Oppenheimer & Co.
"But the ups and downs of his health over the last couple of years have allowed investors to partly discount his departure into the price of their shares."
In an e-mail to staff, Mr Jobs said he would be back at work as soon as he could.
The letter "leaves everything to the imagination" said Mr Reiner, adding that the company had provided no guidance as to whether it would be a short break or the prelude to a permanent departure.
Mr Cook has run the company in the past during Mr Jobs' absence.
According to Mr Reiner, markets have a lot of confidence in the management abilities of Mr Jobs' stand-in, although he has not yet had the opportunity to demonstrate whether he can provide the same visionary leadership as his boss.
Mr Jobs' health issues come as Apple is rumoured to be preparing to launch the second version of its iPad - the successor to the tablet computer it launched in 2010.
With the product line-up for the next two to three years already set, Mr Reiner said that the real impact of a permanent departure of the Apple head would only be felt some years down the line.

I downloaded the game today without knowing that a 14 year old coded it and it's indeed pretty cool.

54% of Verizon's Android, Blackberry users to switch to iPhone, survey says
More than half of Verizon's current Android and Blackberry users indicated they are likely to switch to the iPhone when it arrives on the Verizon network on Feb. 10, according to a new survey.
Online sample company uSamp, which conducted a "highly profiled online panel" of more than 700 smartphone users in late January, published the results Thursday. The survey found that 54 percent of respondents who have an Android or BlackBerry smartphone on Verizon are either very likely (25 percent) or somewhat likely (29 percent) to purchase the Verizon iPhone when it arrives next week.
The report could signal particularly grim news for Research in Motion, as BlackBerry users demonstrated higher interest in switching to the iPhone, with 66 percent indicating a probable switch, compared to 44 percent of Android users. RIM's BlackBerry has lost significant share on Verizon as the carrier has heavily promoted its Android offerings. With the arrival of the iPhone, the BlackBerry on Verizon has been relegated to third place.
Also of note, 26 percent of AT&T customers reported plans to purchase the Verizon iPhone on launch day. A larger survey from ChangeWave in January found that 16 percent of AT&T users were planning to switch, though 26 percent of AT&T iPhone users said they would change to Verizon.
For AT&T users intending to jumping ship, dropped calls were the main reason for leaving, with 48 percent of AT&T customers who plan to buy the Verizon iPhone citing dropped calls as the cause.
When the first reviews of the Verizon iPhone emerged Wednesday, reviewers indicated that the Verizon iPhone drops significantly less calls than the AT&T iPhone.
uSamp's survey also found that men are more likely to switch to the Verizon iPhone: 32 percent of males compared to 20 percent of females. As expected, younger respondents indicated they were more willing to wait in line on launch day, as well as more likely to switch overall. According to the report, among Verizon BlackBerry and Android smartphone owners, 71 percent of respondents aged 18-24 and 60 percent of those aged 25-34 are planning to switch.
uSamp reports a 3.6 percent margin of error for their results.
Apple and Verizon will begin selling the CDMA iPhone 4 at 7 a.m. on Feb. 10, though preorders for the device began on Thursday.
