Which became late September to mid and then late October. and now the site reads November 7th I believe that I like many others have funded this company’s R&D on this product and should be compensated for such.. they took the money from my card on the 24th of august. and now ::::

It wasn’t a Question it was a statement.. Either Ship Next day Air where I
get it tomarrow or refund the Money. I did not plan on funding your R&D the
Pre- order data was that it was shipping by the end of the month and that
was September. then October..

NEXT DAY AIR.. or Refund the Cash that you’ve had now for 60+ days..
so that I can get the fast mac IV they’re shipping already.

Dear Jeffrey,
This email is regarding your order # 204217
Unfortunately, there will be a slight delay in shipping your order.
We know this is a much needed accessory for any serious iPhone user –
with that in mind; we have made every effort to bring you this
product as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality or
performance.
Part of our dedication to quality is to only introduce products to
the market that are “Works with iPhone” certified by Apple.
Unfortunately,
part of this process is extensive testing at Apple certified
facilities, which have queues that are often hard to predict.
I can assure you that your product is allocated and ready to ship as
soon as final certification is received from Apple.
Current estimated ship date is: October 31st, 2008.
If there is anything we can assist you with please contact us at
team@mophie.com . For up-to-the-minute news and ship dates, please

Hey Marty –
I ordered (and paid for) my fastmac iV at the last Macworld IN JANUARY!!!! I received it yesterday November 6th. So dont give props to a company you haven’t worked with. BTW… its ugly as sin.
Hows that the Iphone 3g didn’t come out till July. did they do this with the original Iphone model?
Yes, they did. They then decided to modify it (using my money, I suppose) to work with both the first generation and the 3G. Also, this product is not “Works With iPhone” certified, which probably cuts down on the development timeline.
oh… and i got my tracking number from mophie.com yesterday. should be here later today!
I’ve received my mophie and have been using for a few days now… and the battery life seems to fall short of the claims on mophie’s website. I left on standby one sunday totallying 49 hours and made 1, 3 min call Mophie was dead by 50th hour and the phone lasted till about 3 that afternoon.. now the phone of course was used for a few calls on monday morning.. I’m wondering if the phone is using more power due to the mophie making the phone think it’s on AC..
I bought a juice pack in the late fall and it worked well for about 3 weeks and then simply “died”. I received a replacement from MStation and the replacement worked perfectly for about 3 1/2 weeks and then “died” 3 days ago. My e mail to mophie regarding the problem goes unanswered. Oddly enough, I live within about 1 hour of their office and may simply take a drive up there to chat with the CEO about the obvious problem with the unit.
