Review: iHome iB969 charging station

iHome has a long history of supplying innovative, well-designed, and horribly named accessories for Apple gear. The iB969 continues these traditions. What is it? Well, you wouldn’t know from the name, but the iB969 is a 4-in-1 charging station designed to charge pretty much any portable device out there, although it throws a definite nod to the iPod, iPad, and iPhone. The iB969 comes with two built-in dock connector wells designed to fit pretty much any iPhone or iPod... Read More

So, can developers use Flash now to make iOS apps?

Maybe. Check out this throwaway line in Apple’s somewhat ambiguous (and totally out of nowhere) press release about its new App Store Review Guidelines this morning. Statement by Apple on App Store Review Guidelines CUPERTINO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The App Store has revolutionized the way mobile applications are developed and distributed. With over 250,000 apps and 6.5 billion downloads, the App Store has become the world’s largest mobile application platform... Read More

Laser-powered stripper platform with built-in iPod dock is this year’s MUST HAVE gift

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,... Read More

Review: Magellan RoadMate App and The Magellan Premium Car Kit for iPhone

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... Read More

A new take on the Konami code

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 –... Read More

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.... Read More
