Amazon Now Ships Apple TV, iPad Battery

Many Apple fans purchase their products right from Apple. Having the option to purchase them from Amazon would not be too terrible. Amazon has just started shipping Apple TV units. Amazon Prime members can get their hands on this tiny device in as fast as 1 day. It took Amazon a while to ship new iPod Touch (Amazon fans had to wait a while for it to carry the iPad). The wait time has not been that long for Apple TV. Amazon currently ships it much faster than Apple (Apple takes as much as 2 weeks at this point).

Those of you who have tried iPhone battery extenders in the past know how useful these accessories can be. It seems the iPad will be getting its own battery extenders. Kensington PowerBack Battery Case for iPad is a hybrid accessory that can act as a case, stand, and battery extender for iPad. It can not only keep your device safe against scratches and bumps but also adds up to 5 hours of battery life to your device (has a 4400mAh internal battery). It has just started shipping.

Unfortunately, Apple’s troubles with iPhone 4 continue. Multiple sources have reported that Apple insiders are quite concerned with some third-party cases damaging and putting cracks on iPhone 4’s glass panel back. Slide-on cases seem to be the most problematic at this point. Considering that Apple just ended its free case program for iPhone, it does not want to deal with yet another iPhone 4 issue.

Let’s hope Apple has learned its lesson and pays even more attention to testing with its new designs, for iPhone 5, iPad 2, and other upcoming devices.
