Matias, the folks who brought us their folding keyboard, comes the fast-switching USB-slash-Bluetooth-keyboard combo: The Matias Slim One Keyboard. It connects to your Mac or PC via USB while simultaneously connecting to your iPhone, iPad, or other device via bluetooth. With the flip of a switch you can instantly switch between the two. Ideal for replying to texts without having to pick…
Announced five years ago today, the iPhone became the smartphone that changed everything.
Leave it to Restoration Hardware to find a way to wrap up our iPhone and USB charging cables in dark brown leather. This Roll Up Travel Charger is basically a charging port that includes chargers for iDevices, USB, mini USB, and Samsung mobiles. Everything wraps up nicely into a leather roll and is easy to toss into a bag, as opposed to…
My only camera is my iPhone 4S. Also, my only video camera is my iPhone 4S. After fabricating the world's worst camera mount to shoot a video I decided it was time to get a bit more official. I recently ordered this GorillaPod Hybrid tripod stand from Joby. I got the hybrid model because the head is ultra maneuverable an it has…
The olloclip is a 3-in-1 lens addition that snaps-on to the corner of your iPhone 4 or 4S. It has a fisheye lens, a macro lens, and a wide-angle lens to give some extra fun and functionality to your iPhone's already great camera. It started on Kickstarter and was more than 400% funded. The olloclip is easy to toss in your bag…
At most, I am a casual gamer. But every now and then an iOS game comes along that is just the right amount of fun. Mage Gauntlet happened to be one of those games. The graphics are a classic 16-bit, the gameplay is challenging and engaging, and the plot isn't all that bad either. And the game itself is only $2.99 in…
White and red and awesome all over, the PlugBug from Twelve South takes your standard MacBook power charger and adds on a 10W USB port for charging your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Of course it works without the MacBook power brick as well. If you want just one single wall wart to charge your laptop and phone, and you want your…
Knitted from 100% merino lambswool, these fashionable and warm gloves let you operate your iPhone without taking the gloves off. Stylish and convenient. UPDATE: After posting this item I received several emails from readers who have heard negative things about these gloves; primarily that the quality is poor. I recommend you check out Agloves' iPhone Gloves instead.
The iPhone 4S is "the most amazing iPhone yet". I think the design of the iPhone 4 is already stellar, and so keeping that same casing while massively updating the internals is just fine by me. The iPhone 4S has a much faster processor, handles graphics even better, has a longer battery life, a better camera, and comes with everyone's favorite new…
The Jawbone Jambox is a Bluetooth speaker rig that packs a surprising amount of punch. When I first turned mine on I was shocked at the clarity and fullness that such a small speaker box could produce. It connects to any device that has Bluetooth (such as your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, etc...) and can pump the jams for over 8 hours.…
An inexpensive FM radio with a cardboard casing that also has an auxiliary input for your MP3 player of choice? Awesome. This thing would be ideal for use in the garage, outside, at the beach, camping, or as part of your cardboard box collection. (Thanks, Dave.)
One of the few things worse than lugging around a large battery reserve is having your iPhone run out of juice. The brand-new lineup of mophie Juice Packs are sleek and slim. This little guy, the Reserve, is about the size of a Zippo. And he looks like one, too. (Via.)
Instacast is not the first iPhone app dedicated to managing your podcasts, but it is the first I have ever truly liked. Its most notable feature is that it offers over-the-air updating of your podcasts. You can update all your podcasts at once, or just one subscription, or even just one episode at a time. It will update the listing of all…
That super-long cable is ideal for certain times, and then this super-short cable is ideal for other times. Such as traveling. Also, this little guy wins the award for cutest white cable ever.
I received one of these cables for my birthday this year and I now use it all the time. I never realized how handy a double-length, 30-pin cable would be until I had one in my possession. One would think that the last thing an Apple nerd needs is yet another white cable. But in this case, it's a welcome addition. Trying…
Dialvetica is the best way to find contacts on your iPhone. It’s like the whole app has been built for a single purpose: get to a contact fast. Dialvetica’s custom interface is designed for this sole purpose, and so is the way it works under the hood. Searching for a contact within Dialvetica is far superior to searching within the Contacts pane…
