Let a SuperHero Back Up Your iPhone While You Sleep

At MacStories, we tend to sync our various Apple gadgets to our Macs quite often because we’re blanketed in apps to review. But you guys might not have to deal with the kind of chaos we deal with between iTunes, 6 shots of espresso, and sync cables, so we’ll offer a middleman.

The Iomega SuperHero cuts out iTunes as a dock you won’t be ashamed to sit your iPhone in. As a bonus, this slick gadget backs up your iPhone so iTunes doesn’t have to! Wake up in the morning knowing that your data is backed up and safe at home - that’s the kind of convenience we aim for right? The SuperHero Backup and Charger is now available for $69.99, and works in combination with Iomega’s SuperHero app for the iPhone.
