Zaggsparq Charger Batteries For iPhone, iPad, iAnything

It used to be that we carried spare batteries for our devices. Then Apple sealed its products' cases shut and some of us complained. Loudly. Then we realized that carrying an external battery pack meant we didn't have to power-down to swap out batteries, and that we could now pick and choose the perfect third-party option, and we all shut the hell up.Which is my long-winded way of introducing the new Zaggsparq packs, a range of three battery packs tailored perfectly to your iCharging needs. As long as you don't own an iPad 3, that is.
The current (ahem) Zaggsparq is being replaced by three different packs: the 1220, the 3100 and the 6000. These numbers give you the capacity, which is a guide to the number of charges it'll supply.For instance, if you have an iPhone you can expect one, two or four full charges depending on which you buy. iPad 2 users can buy the top end 6000 and get a 60% charge, or opt for the 3100 and enjoy a mere 30%.iPad 3 owners can suck it. Find a power outlet and take a nap.Other niceties are LED indicator lights, built-in power prongs and the ability to act as a regular wall-wart charger, doubling up on utility.All three Zaggsparqs launch today, at noon MDT (whatever MDT means. Apologies to everyone if I accidentally broke any embargoes).iPhone 5 in front of smartphone pack.Prices range from $40 to $100.
The iPhone's iOS operating system now lets you sign in directly to your Facebook and Twitter accounts from a central location. That means you can share content from your phone to either social media service using the Share button you see on several core iPhone apps. You only have to log in to each service once to enable this function, and once you do, you can share your photos, videos, and interesting websites with a couple of taps. To log in to either, open the Settings app and scroll down until you see the Twitter and Facebook island and then enter your account information. Both Twitter and Facebook will update the contacts in your address book with phone number and email information from friends on those services. You can disable that feature (which can, in fairness, clog up your address book if you have thousands of friends) by switching the Contacts slider in the Facebook pane to "Off.""Find My iPhone" can be a godsend of an app if you lose your phone, and it's the first app you should download as soon as you get your iPhone.The New York Times' David Pogue recently used Find My iPhone to track his apparently stolen phone to a neighborhood in Maryland. I recently used the app to track my lost iPhone to the magazine rack next to my toilet. It's a life-saver, folks.
