Laser-powered stripper platform with built-in iPod dock is this year’s MUST HAVE gift
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Awesomeness, design, iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch
Well, the iPod connector has now officially been put into everything.
Tasked with the the challenge of creating a “coffee table”, London-based designer Moritz Waldemeyer has gone WAAAY above and beyond the call of duty by creating some sort of laser-beam themed GoGo Dancing platform, complete with smoke machine, and yes, an iPod Dock.
This certainly is cooler than my current coffee table, which consists of a 30 Lucky Charms boxes duct-taped together. Finally, now I can enjoy my “Laser Loggins” and “Laser Floyd” in the privacy of my own home. I have already ordered 3 of these, since there’s no way am I sharing with the kids. Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Steve for the tip!

Review: Magellan RoadMate App and The Magellan Premium Car Kit for iPhone
Filed under: Hardware, Opinion, Product Reviews, iPhone, iPod Touch
One of the great selling points of the iPhone is its ability to take the place of many of the individual electronic gadgets that rule our lives, and consolidate them into one all-powerful gadget that we cannot live without. In addition to a phone, MP3 player, and digital still/video camera, starting with the iPhone 3G, the iPhone can also serve as a standalone car GPS replacement. There are now a fairly large assortment of GPS apps available for the iPhone, and surprisingly many of them are from big name GPS manufacturers such as Tom Tom and Magellan. It’s apparent that these companies can read the writing on the wall and have realized that the future of GPS is the cell phone, and their future as a company will rely more and more on providing the GPS software over the hardware they are used to producing.
That being said, it doesn’t mean the iPhone’s GPS receiver is quite up to the task of replacing a dedicated GPS unit yet, and Magellan has recognized the need for a more robust iPhone/GPS solution. Their answer to the problem is their Magellan RoadMate GPS app, and their Magellan Premium Car Kit for iPhone, a hardware docking cradle with its own GPS receiver to replace the sometimes flaky iPhone receiver.

A new take on the Konami code
Filed under: Awesomeness, Girls, Humor, WTF, iPhone, iPod Touch
Above: I’m not how you “level up”, but she sure seems happy.
Yet another odd app approval choice in Apple’s totally arbitrary “war on porn” to protect our children, although I must say, I am almost tempted to get this one based solely on the “reset” procedure (below). Kind of makes up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A look a bit lame.
- ? Lift her Skirt Up ?
with your own finger
and find Property of her underwear- Her ? eyes ? will
follow where u touch- Play ? Simple ? 3.00 sec game
and give her energy which matches
with her underwear’s property- Let her transform into
? Super Girl ?
by Level her up to Lv 30- She will level up once a day
if you can tap after 3 seconds
( 2.55 ~ 3.05 allowed )- If u get 3.00 sec exactly
she can level up more than once- You can reset Data by touching
her breasts
Left -> Right -> Left -> Right??????????????????????
This will be Fun !!!

Review: iMainGo2 Rocks the House, or at Least a Mid-Sized Room
I’m constantly amazed by how many people I run into who listen to music on their iPhones using the built-in speakers. Sure, the iPhone’s ear buds are nothing to write home about, but they’re certainly a step up from the tinny sound delivered by the speakerphone. Still, I know there are some who prefer to not be tethered to their phones when listening to their tunes, and you can’t exactly carry around a Bose Sound Dock with you everywhere you go either. Well Portable Sound Laboratories has a pretty good compromise between big sound and portability with their iMainGo2 speakers. Read more
Is it possible Steve Jobs does not hate Flash – he just loves LEGOs?
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Rampant Speculation, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch
With all the free advertising Steve’s been giving LEGOs on the iPhone, iPod touch, and now iPad, it makes you wonder just how large a percentage of the Lego company does Steve own?

iPhone hat redefines “Awesome”
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Awesomeness, Humor, iPhone, iPod Touch
I’m not sure they make pants big enough to house the set of balls you’d have to have to use this, but my hat’s off (pun intended) to anyone who would leave themselves this open to blindsided attacks (from jealous people who wish they had the iPhone hat, of course).
Aww crap, it’s too late to get for Mother’s Day!
TV Hat
Your Own Personal Private Theater–Anywhere, Anytime!
Watch what you want, when you want, where you want. Slide your iPod®, iPhone® or most any MP3 player into the interior pouch and the attached 2.5x magnification screen helps give you a movie theater experience.

Review: IDAPT I3 – Our pick for the geeky Dad
Filed under: Awesomeness, Product Reviews, iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, iPod nano
This year anyone looking for the perfect Father’s Day gift for the tech obsessed Dad need look no further than the iDapt I3 charging station. Well, MY kids at least need look no further (and yeah, I suppose there might be a geeky Mom or two out there who would love it as well).
The I3 is available in “Manly Pink”, as well as 8 other colors.
Designed to minimize the cable clutter and outlet overload of today’s kitchens, the I3 get’s its name from the three separate charging “tips” you can pop into the available openings which will allow you to charge pretty much any handheld device known to geeks. Each I3 comes with tips for the iPhone/iPod, as well as phones from Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Nokia, and both a miniUSB and a microUSB tip, pretty much assuring that you can charge anything from a GPS or digital camera to an iPhone external battery from the likes of Mophie, Mili, or Novothink.
Awww… it’s like they’re getting a couple’s massage…
Swapping tips is easy, simply press on the two raised pressure buttons on either side of a tip to lift it up, and snap in a new one.
The I3 ships with a nice assortment of popular tips, or you can order your own.While odds are the I3 will meet all your charging needs out of the box, you can order additional tips on a tip-by-tip basis if you’d like. For example, being a 2-iPhone, 2-iPod house, I figured I needed 3 iPhone tips. IDAPT sells tips covering most mobile phones, as well as other gadgets like the Nintendo DS, and it even has an adapter for Read more
