Leveraging its battery expertise, Tekkeon today unveils its ultra slim rechargeable battery case for iPhone® 4, designed with Tekkeon’s unique eSwap™ technology that delivers virtually endless power. myPower™ for iPhone 4 includes a swappable battery pack that can be exchanged on the go to let users talk, rock, view, share, and stay connected longer. This tiny, sleek battery case not only provides extra power on the go, it protects iPhone 4 from everyday wear and tear and acts as a dock for automatic syncing via a high-speed micro USB 2.0 interface.

Several innovative features distinguish myPower for iPhone 4:
Swappable Battery Module
myPower for iPhone 4 features Tekkeon’s new innovative eSwap™ technology, in which the battery is housed in a separate module that can be exchanged with a fresh battery module while on the go. This enables users to carry extra, fully-charged battery packs, making its additional hours virtually limitless. The battery case comes with the Ultra Slim 1200 mAh battery pack, with extra battery packs¾both the Ultra Slim battery pack and the Ultra Power 2200 mAh battery pack¾available as optional modules.

Preserves iPhone 4 Battery
Equipped with a replaceable efficient lithium polymer battery pack, myPower for iPhone 4 preserves the iPhone battery by bypassing the battery and directly powering (rather than charging) iPhone 4. When plugged into a USB power adapter or computer USB port, myPower for iPhone 4 will simultaneously charge the connected iPhone 4 battery.

Highly Efficient Design Provides Maximum Power
Designed with intelligent circuitry, myPower for iPhone 4 provides an unheard of 95% efficiency which means the condensed lithium polymer battery provides maximum power output without adding substantial weight or size to iPhone 4. Inherent with this advanced battery technology are all the key battery safety features, including built-in protection from over current, overcharging, over discharging, overheating, and short circuiting.
myPower for iPhone 4, depending on the battery module, almost doubles or more than doubles the iPhone 4 battery:

Increases Comfort
With a sleek contour that softens the iPhone 4 edges, and a slip-proof, soft touch finish, myPower for iPhone 4 makes iPhone 4 more comfortable to hold.

Minimal Footprint
At only 1.84 oz (51.5 g) and with a minimalist design that elegantly wraps iPhone 4, myPower for iPhone 4 is almost undetectable.

Protection from Wear and Tear
myPower for iPhone 4 doubles as a protective case; its hard shell interior and raised edges, along with the included myGuard protectors for the front and back of iPhone 4, provide a high level of protection to iPhone 4. Because it encloses the side and back of iPhone 4, the battery case enhances iPhone 4 reception by acting as a bumper.

“With our long history of providing innovative battery products that fully support the mobile lifestyle, Tekkeon is excited to take our battery products to the next level with our innovative eSwap technology,” says Jerry Yang, president of Tekkeon. “Because iPhone users can swap battery packs on the go, myPower for iPhone 4 ensures that users can literally never be without power.”
myPower for iPhone 4 features easy access to all iPhone 4 features, including the camera and flash. The battery case includes an on/off switch to conserve power when the battery is not needed and a bright, dual-color capacity indicator that shows remaining power at a glance.

myPower for iPhone 4 comes in three fun colors: Soft Touch Black, Soft Touch Red, and Soft Touch White. The suggested retail prices for myPower for iPhone 4 and the optional spare batteries are:

myPower for iPhone $79.95
Ultra Slim battery $39.95
Ultra Power Battery Module $49.95

Tekkeon is pleased to announce the release of its industrial-grade, high temperature version of the popular myPower ALL plus lithium polymer battery. For use as portable power with portable instruments and equipment, or as an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) for battery backup, Tekkeon’s new myPower ALL Plus MP3450i universal battery provides instant power for devices that require between 5V and 19V. The voltage on this new battery is fixed for the connected equipment, or can be quickly changed to meet the power needs of a wide range of devices.

A versatile power solution for power-hungry portable devices, myPower ALL Plus MP3450i will significantly extend the life of a range of instruments or equipment batteries. In fact, it has already found two distinct niche applications. With mobile routers, such as the 3G routers manufactured by CradlePoint (www.cradlepoint.com), the Tekkeon battery provides users up to 12 hours of runtime when no power outlet available. Likewise, myPower ALL is popular with film and video production equipment, where it provides hours of extra power for on-site LED lighting and monitors.

“As a response to overwhelming user requests for an industrial-grade battery that can be dedicated to power portable equipment and instruments, we developed this version of myPower ALL to be used with portable devices like mobile routers, and instruments that are used in the field,” says Jerry Yang, president of Tekkeon, Inc. “The uses for MP3450i are countless as the output voltage suits most portable equipment and instruments, and we offer a large variety of tips to fit various devices.”

Like its predecessors, myPower ALL Plus MP3450i is lightweight and uses visual indicators to identify the exact power level. In addition, this version includes 16 preset voltages and an on/off switch that preserves power when the battery is not in use.

An optional extended battery, model MP3450-10, can be added to myPower ALL Plus to further extend the additional battery hours. Mounting brackets are included with this optional battery to combine the batteries into a single stacked unit.

The MSRP for myPower ALL Plus model MP3450i is $199.95, and $99.95 for the extended battery (MP3450-10). Both products are currently available at the Tekkeon Store at www.tekkeon.com and at 3GStore.com. myPower ALL Plus comes with a one-year limited warranty.

To ensure compatibility with most equipment and instruments, myPower ALL Plus MP3450i comes with five adapter tips that work with the most-widely used DC jacks. Additional adapter tips are available at the Tekkeon Store.

Tekkeon unveils the first dock with on-TV navigation to support the iPod nano 3G and iPod classic. NavDock™ Home Media Center with On-TV Navigation for iPod navigates the iPod through on-TV menus to play videos, photos and music on a connected television. NavDock includes a 16-button wide angle infrared remote that is housed in the dock. The remote provides a five-way navigation pad and quick keys that jump directly to the Videos, Photos, Music or Settings menus. Buttons for volume control, mute, shuffle, repeat or skip songs, and fast forward or rewind through music or videos are also included on the remote.

With NavDock, users have complete control over the content that appears on the TV screen. The language for the menu items (English, Spanish and Japanese), menu color scheme, screensaver, and navigation speed can be customized to suit a user’s tastes. Direct access is provided to the iPod equalizer settings, and lyrics and full-size album art can be displayed at the touch of a button. The iPod docks into NavDock via a universal dock adapter, three of which are included with the product. While docked, the iPod is charged whether or not NavDock is turned on.

“With NavDock, we wanted users to have virtually complete on-TV control of their iPods,” says Jerry Yang, president of Tekkeon, Inc. “Rather than just provide minimal access to some of the iPod menus, NavDock enables users to take advantage of commonly used features, like lyrics and equalizer, all with
the NavDock remote.”

With an MSRP of $129.95, NavDock comes with an infrared remote, standard AV output cable (6 feet), universal dock adapters (3), power adapter (100-240 VAC) and user guide.
