Expert's Rating
Pros
- Unusual battery/stand combo with phone indicator
Cons
- No mains power supply. Doesn’t feel sturdy
Our Verdict
The Power Angel has a 3-hour charge time, and gives up to five hours of video playback, 18 hours of audio, or 4/8 hours of talktime with the iPhone 3G/2G.
There are battery/case combinations for iPhone/iPod touch, but now we have a new category – the battery/kickstand. The MiLi Power Angel is a power supply that plugs into the dock adaptor of iPhone/iPod Touch/iPod Classic/iPod 4th generation, with a USB socket for in-situ charging and syncing (cable included). A power-check button on the front activates a four-segment power level indicator. Turn it over and there’s a little plastic kickstand that pops out to support your device in horizontal or vertical orientations, so you can watch movies without having to prop it up on a pair of socks (but note that the iPhone won’t be stable in the upright position).
