today annnounced TunePower, a rechargeable battery pack, and TuneBase, a device that holds and charges your iPod mini in any vehicle. The TunePower ($100) provides 8-10 hours of additional play time--even when the iPod's internal battery is drained.

The TunePower also features a protective case design. The TuneBase ($50) for the iPod mini features a cradle with a flexible-steel neck that powers and charges your mini simultaneously from any cigarette lighter outlet. Both products will begin shipping in North America on October 25, 2004.
