I'm still waiting for plans for a homemade Belkin battery pack.
The difference? The belkin packs, as you may have noticed, use only 4x1.5V. They don't charge the iPod battery, they power the iPod, getting 15-20 more hours of playtime, a better solution to me. This is probably done by jumping a pin in the proprietary dock connector of the iPod.
If someone could figure out which pin to jump or otherwise how to make this, it would be a wonderful solution.
There's a reason why giants don't exist. Take a look at the math.
Take human beings. We have an average wait of, say, 160 lb, and the surface area that touches the ground (the bottom of our feet) of perhaps 36 sq. in., and have a volume of 5x2x1 = 10 cu. ft. So lets say that we have an approximate density of 16lb/cu. ft.
This means that there is a pressure of 4.4 psi exerted on our feet.
Now take a 25 foot tall man. This would make for a volume of 25x10x5 = 1250 cu. ft., and a weight of 16*1250 = 20000 lb, exerted on an area of 900 sq. inches which makes for a pressure of 20000/900 = 22.2 psi, as opposed to the 4.4 psi of ours. The bigger you get, the pressure increases exponentially, which makes giants impossible.

Both these speeds and large capacities will become more and more important as we see better video capabilities come to the PDA market.
