Droid X Extended Battery And Cover Deal

Get Enhanced Battery Life For Your Droid X
Do you have to charge your Droid X more than once per day? Do you find the constant plugging-in and unplugging annoying?
Why not try a battery with a larger capacity than the standard battery shipped with the Droid X?
Check out the Seidio 2600 mAh Extended Life Lithium Ion battery for the Droid X. This extended battery has 59% more capacity than the 1540 mAh battery that comes standard with the Droid X.
The Seidio 2600 mAh Extended Life battery comes with a black replacement battery cover to protect the larger battery.
Like most Droid X owners, you probably really enjoy using your phone to stay in touch, surf the internet, and play games.
Continuous use of any cell phone will quickly drain the phone’s battery. Always having your phone plugged in is contrary to the purpose and enjoyment of having a smartphone as powerful and mobile as the Droid X.
A cheaper option than the Seidio Extended Battery is to purchase an additional standard battery for the Droid X. Though cheaper, this is certainly a less convenient solution.
NYTimes Best Tech Idea: Motorola Droid Dock
Posted by admin in Droid Accessories on January 1, 2010
David Pogue, technology guru for the New York Times, has listed his nine best technology ideas this year.
The Motorola Droid Dock and Car Mount were one of those ideas:
The Motorola Droid, of course, is an app phone (that is, an iPhone wannabe with a black rectangular touch screen, etc.). It’s generally a very good one, with slide-out keyboard, excellent speed and the Verizon network.
The winner here isn’t the phone, though — it’s the docks. One $30 plastic dock suctions to your windshield. When you slip the phone into it, hidden magnetic sensors automatically fill the Droid’s screen with Google’s new GPS navigation software, complete with turn-by-turn driving directions, spoken street names, color coding to indicate traffic, map icons (for parking and so on), satellite view and more.
Or buy the $30 home dock. When you insert the Droid, the screen becomes a handsome, horizontal-layout alarm-clock/weather display, complete with buttons that let you access your music or even dim the screen for sleepy time. You have to charge your phone overnight anyway, so why shouldn’t it be doing something useful in the meantime?

As someone who also appreciates efficiency in everything, I like Pogue’s comment about the Droid actually performing some function while it charges overnight.
Anyway, Amazon.com carries both the Droid Multimedia Docking Station and Motorola’s OEM Window Mount.
The Novatel MiFi was also included on David Pogue’s best of ’09 list. Anyone looking for a wireless internet connection and WiFi router in one small box should check out BuyMiFi.com for more details and deals!
Need A Christmas Gift For Your Droid User?
Posted by admin in Droid Accessories on December 18, 2009
There are a bevy of car mounts available for the Motorola Droid over at Amazon.
If you’re looking for a last-minute gift for the Droid user (or want a car mount for yourself), make sure to check out Amazon’s selection.
With the car mount, a Droid user can use Google Navigation hands-free, just as one might with a typical GPS unit.
Your options range from ~$7.95 to as much as $39.95.
If I were buying a car mount for a Droid user, I’d keep my eye on Motorola’s OEM car mount. The mount itself is $29.99, and you get the assurance of Motorola‘s self-interest in offering a superior, reliable car mount.
There’s one catch: the Motorola car mount is currently out of stock. Check back to Amazon or order and wait for the mount to ship when it becomes available.
Even if your Droid user gets their car mount after the holidays, they will still be happy to have it, right?
