Belkin debuts TunePower for iPod video

Belkin today announced its new TunePower for iPod, a new black battery pack for Apple's popular music/video device that keeps users' videos and tunes playing even when the internal battery is drained. Offering up to six hours of additional video playtime, this rechargeable battery pack allows users to extend the playback time of the device. "The iPod video allows for approximately two hours of video viewing, which may not be enough to last until you reach your iPod dock. TunePower will give you this extra time so you can watch your videos, making it ideal for long flights, hikes, or for anytime you do not have access to an AC outlet." Two sleeves are included to fit the 30GB and 60GB iPod video devices. It also features a protective case design to prevent dirt, dust, or impact from damaging the connector and includes an AC adapter for simultaneous charging and playing; a low-level power indicator allows users to monitor the battery status. The TunePower for iPod video will ship in North America in late March 2006 for $80. (A white version is already available for older iPods.)
