These six batteries provide a total of 1500mAH of power and the ten adaptors it is supplied with means the Powerstrap can provide battery life to many different kinds of portable devices, such as mp3/mp4 players, handheld game consoles, mobile phones and much more.

Dataviz have updated their Documents To Go Premium product to provide support for editing Powerpoint files on your iPhone.
