China BAK Battery to the rescue
Driven by the urge for a full battery, van Ess posted a question in LinkedIn – asking: “‘who brings me the smallest rechargeable battery for the iPhone 3G without silly cases”. He was looking for a solid Apple-certified battery and found out that NASDAQ company China BAK Battery made such a product. Twenty acquaintances also fancied the battery, so van Ess started a little web shop to avoid paper works. The dealer than asked whether the Internet expert would be interested in becoming the European reseller – and so it happened.
Why is this battery so great?
Van Ess called his company 3G Juice company and now offers a fine battery for European iPhone owners. It’s world’s smallest external battery for both iPhone versions – only six centimeters – and it doesn’t need any cables. But don’t be fooled by its size, as the battery doubles the life of your iPhone.
Muse
Looks like van Ess found whatTimothy Ferrissdescribes as a muse – a relatively simple way of making money. That means: not much effort and time involved. He has his web shop running and money flowing – while improving our iPhone experience.
Update:Henk just mailed us that he is in search for an American distributor, if you’re a distributor or know someone who might be interested, get in contact with henk or leave a comment.
