For some odd reason, people seem bound and determined to turn Altoids ti into iPod acce ories. Witne the Altoid nano dock, the Altoids external iPod battery and the Altoids iPod shuffle case, just to name a few. Phillip at Make has the latest Aaron Dunlap has created a 9v battery charger out of an Altoids tin, which can be used to charge a number of U devices, including an iPod. Using a U charge cable that shi ed with his cell phone, Aaron got 5 hours of playback time out of his iPod while co ected to the charger. There's even a LED light on the tin to indicate battery's remaining life.
Right now, Aaron is selling a kit of all the parts nece ary for $8.50US (you'd end more buying all the nece ary parts at Radio Shack). Check it out, and su ort a hacker!
