FINALLY! An iPhone stand you can kill someone with!
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Awesomeness, Hardware, design, iPhone
ForkedUpArt has finally given us an iPhone stand that not only looks cool, it can also be used to stab would-be iPhone thieves, or to eat spaghetti – your choice. Behold the Fork Head iPhone stand!
Also available is the somewhat Roswell-looking Spoon Head model.
Both items are $20, and come with the disclaimer that they “do not include iPhone or cable”, in case you are an idiot looking for a bargain.

Holographic iPhone concept disappoints
I don’t know about you, but when I hear “hologram”, I think of two things: Ethereal projections emanating from small, coin-sized, hand-held discs, and really amazing porn. But more level-headed designer Josselin Zaïgouche decided to try his hand at creating what he imagines a holographic iPhone might look like (circa the year 2020), and I have to say, I’m a little unimpressed. Behold “The Apple Black Hole”.
Now, is it just me, or is the holographic iPhone not really all that smaller than the current iPhone? It almost seems like a replacement for an old fashioned rotary phone you might have on your desk.
I think the problem Zaïgouche ran into is he actually factored in “reality” into his design. No doubt in 10 years we’d be LUCKY if affordable holographic projectors could be that small and stylish. However, the reality of the iPhone evolving into something like that are pretty slim. I say, if you’re going to go all Sci-Fi on us, you might as well go all the way and have the phone emanate from a chip implanted into the palm of the hand. That’s how I see it going eventually. Nice to see Google will still be on the iPhone in 10 years though.

“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 20 - Mophie Juice Pack Air
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Awesomeness, Free Stuff, Hardware, contests, iPhone
This contest is closed. Congrats to faithful Macenstein reader Scott.
On the Twentieth Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) A Mophie Juice Pack Air for the iPhone 3G!
That’s right, our good friends at Mophie were nice enough to give us the single most important iPhone accessory known to man, the Juice Pack Air for iPhone 3G and 3G S! This sleek external battery pack almost doubles your iPhone’s battery as well as protecting it from sharp sticks, bears, or other iPhone dangers. Having a Juice Pack Air means you no longer need to fear waiting in lines, as now you can actually play all those cool games you bought on iTunes AND still have enough battery left to use your iPhone as a phone, if you should need to. The Juice pack adds an extra 270 hours of standby time, 4.5 hours of 3G talk time on 3G, 4.5 hours of Wi-Fi use, 9 hours of video playback, or 27 hours of audio!
The world’s thinnest rechargeable battery case for iPhone 3G & iPhone 3GS, the mophie juice pack air™ is designed to virtually double the time you have to Rock, Talk, Surf and Send with your iPhone 3G or 3GS.
The juice pack air™ is a rechargeable external battery concealed inside of a protective form-fitting case for the iPhone 3G & iPhone 3GS. It offers you the full protection of a hard-shell case while providing virtually twice the battery life of the iPhone alone; all in an ultra-thin, light-weight, low-profile design.
To enter: With pretty much everything worth owning these days powered by some sort of rechargeable battery, devices like the Juice Pack Air are pretty much a necessity. And while we all love our iPhones, iPods, and MacBooks, we’re curious, what is your favorite NON-APPLE battery powered device? Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to ALL readers WORLD-WIDE. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)
