New Juice Pack Plus From Mophie For iPhone 5
Mophie’s Juice packs are hugely popular for keeping your iPhone going at that crucial moment and if you’ve got an iPhone 5, this new pack is going to appeal, a lot! It’s the bigger brother to the existing Juice Pack Helium and Juice Pack Air which were released in March. This new Juice Pack Plus packs a 2100mAH battery to more than double the life of your iPhone 5 battery. It ships from May 22, 2013 and retails for $119.95. There’s a choice of colors, red, black and white. Personally, I love the red, not just for the sheer seductiveness of it but for every sale of the red pack…

Camera Comparison – Samsung Galaxy S4, Sony Xperia Z, HTC One, Nokia Lumia 920 and iPhone 5
Gizmodo recently published a large smartphone camera test to try to decifer which smartphone, out of the Samsung Galaxy S4, Sony Xperia Z, HTC One, Nokia Lumia 920 and iPhone 5 is the ‘best’. They tested them in “four common situations, two in daylight and two in a blacked out corner of the office”.

The information coming out right now is still very scant, but I would well imagine that the sensor will be increased and as well as that a lower aperture for improved low light conditions is quite likely too. If you recall, when the iPhone 4S was announced back in October 2011, the rear camera was increased from 5 megapixels to 8, with improved video capture of 1080p, from…
