Our Thoughts...
With the sleek and compact design, this may just be one of our favorite external battery charging solutions. Coupled with the Free Dexim app (App Store Download) that will turn your iphone into a portable clock/alarm clock, this may be a great device to carry around during travel. We have heard stories of this battery charging an iPhone from 0% back to 100% battery twice! Did we mention that they have an assortment of colors available?
Speck SeeThru Satin Case
Model: SeeThru Satin Case
Company: Speck (www.speckproducts.com)
Compatible: iPhone 3G, 3GS
Retail Price: $29.95
Best Internet Price: NA
By popular demand, the silky and soft-touch finish made ever-so-popular on the SeeThru Satin hard shell cases for MacBooks now come to the iPhone 3G/3GS. Enjoy the semi-translucent frosted appearance a SeeThru Satin gives your iPhone while remaining grippy yet comfortable in hand.
Our Thoughts...
I was a really big fan of the "impossible-to-get" Macbook Pro versions, and now they have released them for the iPhone. There is just something about a hard case with a soft-touch feel. Not to mention that you can still show off your apple logo through one of the many cool colors.
Thinktopics iWavit
Model: iWavit
Company: Thinkoptics (www.iwavit.com)
Compatible: iPhone 3G/S
Retail Price: NA
Best Internet Price: NA
With the latest addition to the Wavit product family, the iWavit™, you will be able to turn your iPhone or iPod Touch™ into almost any virtual Remote Control.Not only can you remotely control TVs and DVDs using the built-in universal IR remote control feature, but you can also control PCs or Macs by directly pointing your Wavit Remote at the TV screen. Where you point is where the cursor will go! Direct pointing makes navigating PC applications or the Internet very easy.
In addition to being a 3D "air" mouse, the iWavit / iPhone can also act as a full RF keyboard, PowerPoint presentation device, Universal IR Learning Remote, PC Media Center Remote, and Apple Mac Front-Row controller. Moreover, with the help of a built-in RF microphone, the iWavit can be used to talk directly to a PC allowing remote voice control or instant VoIP calls. Imagine saying “Open Internet Explorer”, or “Start Skype”.
Our Thoughts
This is just COOL! A better rendition of a Universal Remote that isn't confusing to use. You can create any type of remote easily on this. IMAGINE, "... having a picture of your living room on your iPhone screen. Press on the TV, and your TV turns on. Press on the the stereo, and the stereo turns on." Excuse me while I clean up my drool! (Check out the demo video here)
Tiffin Smoothee
Model: Smoothee
Company: Tiffen (www.tiffen.com)
Compatible: iPhone 3G/S
Retail Price: NA
Best Internet Price: NA
The Tiffen Company, award winning manufacturer of still image and video accessories, announced today at the International Consumer Electronics Show, the release of the Steadicam Smoothee, a new “easy to use right out of the box” image stabilizer for use with the Apple iPhone 3Gs.
The Smoothee, developed by Steadicam, the leader in camera stabilization, now allows iPhone 3Gs owners to capture incredible video without the shakes normally associated with hand-held video shot on the go.
Our Thoughts
This would be a great little accessory to have for those making little candid videos on your iPhone. Having an actual steady cam setup for your iPhone (potentially other devices too) at a price that doesn't leave you short on your next house payment. Then again... we don't even know the price yet.
But we are very excited about this new product. This could help eliminate those nauseating videos that makes it seem like the camera man is filming during an earthquake. If this proves to be a true "consumer priced" product... you can expect this to be the next iPhone blogger necessity.
