Spring Is The Best Way To Access Formspring

There’s this neat web service called Formspring which lets people ask you questions - and of course allows you to answer them. All you have to do is sign up for an account, or connect using your Facebook profile. In fact, I remember the service being extremely popular amongst my Twitter followers a few months ago.

Simple Drive Turns Your iPhone Into A Portable Hard Drive

Easy, nerds. I know that there are hundreds of apps that let you turn the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch into a portable hard drive - that’s why I never featured them. There are just too many of them out in the App Store.

I haven’t had any problems with the iPhone 4 battery so far (I managed to make it last 38 hours once), but in case you were wondering if there was a way to use solar power to get more battery life - well, here it is.

The Frostfire Mooncharge Hybrid Solar Battery Case For iPhone 4 gives your device 5 extra minutes of calling or 50 minutes of stand-by mode with 20 minutes of direct sunlight, but if you charge the battery inside the case via USB you get 5 additional hours of calling. So, not really powerful when it comes to solar charging - not unless you leave the phone in direct sunlight for a couple of hours.

The case comes at $70.  [Frostfire via GigaOM]
