iPhone 3G not working with your old chargers?

So there’s been a lot of talk about how the new iPhone 3G won’t work with some existing car chargers that were used with the previous version of the iPhone. I thought I was immune to this problem because every time I plug my car charger into my iPhone it seems to respond and show the charging symbol in the top right corner, but I’ve come to realize that after charging up for a few minutes that my battery life is still at the same point it was to begin with. This can be very annoying for some, because many of use have multiple chargers and we don’t want to have to buy a new one just to charge up our iPhone. Well Scosche is coming out with a new adapter, the passPORT, that will solve all our problems and allow us to keep all 20+ chargers we may have laying around useless right now. The passPORT is not only for car chargers though, it is also for iPod interfaces that are built into vehicles.  For example the iPod interface in BMWs will not charge the iPhone 3G, so instead of buying a whole new car stereo you can just use this adapter. We don’t know too much about how it works, but Scosche has promised BMAi that we’ll be one of the first sites to receive a sample for a video review when they become available next month. The price point is going to be around $20 – $30. So be patient, and turn off that 3G when not in use to preserve some battery life for the mean time.
