Fri, 20 Jun 2008 10:25:15 +0000

Mercedes-Benz introduced a new iPhone integration kit, allowing Mercedes car owners to access key iPhone functions hassle-free, while driving.

The Earth Trek 4-in-1 mobile stand is a multi purpose device that can be used for charging a mobile phone or connecting the device in question (which actually doesn't have to be a mobile phone) with a PC.

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 09:14:51 +0000

The company behind microSD-slot-packin' Bluetrek Bizz, ModeLabs, announced a new Bluetooth headset. Instead of packing additional features like its predecessor, this baby rather focuses on size. At just 4mm of thickness with weight that doesn't exceed 5.5 grams, Bluetrek Metal is the world's thinnest Bluetooth headset, period! You would think the size will limit the functionality [...]

Deal: Callpod's 6-in-1 charger Chargepod now $39.95!

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 09:14:10 +0000

Roughly a year ago, we wrote about Callpod's 6-in-1 charger called Chargepod. The versatile charger used to cost $79.95, but Callpod decided it's about time to make it appealing to wider audience, hence they've reduced the price to $39.95. The problem, though, is that "manufacturer specific adaptors" kept their price, meaning that you'll still have [...]

Simply put this Bluetooth Cassette Tape Adapter in the deck and stream music from your mobile phone to your in-car stereo.

Brando's iPhone Super Grip makes sure your iPhone never slips away

Mon, 26 May 2008 09:52:00 +0000

iPhone may be a beautiful phone but without a proper case it can easily slip away. On the other hand, that same case makes the device look uglier, but I guess that's a trade off for protecting it against falls. Now, thanks to Brando's Super Grip your iPhone won't slip any more. As matter of fact [...]

Following up on that, I've had the chance to play with a set, thanks to Wahid Aziz (Accessories Product Manager at 3). Below is my mini-review on the product! Kit So, what [...]

BrightonNet iPhone/iPod Touch pen wants to replace your fingers

Wed, 21 May 2008 07:50:00 +0000

I still don't quite understand companies that try to make stylus for the iPhone. Apple's handset is not designed to be used with a pen, but with fingers. How would you multi-touch on it? With two styluses? It's ridiculous… BrightonNet's iPhone/iPod Touch PEN isn't the first such a "device" we've seen (remember Pogo?). However, it is [...]

Those are the words Aliph, the maker of the stylish headset uses, and they're right on target. The new Jawbone headset rocks! It is 50% smaller than the original award-winning Jawbone, and [...]

Xtand makes iPhone stand proudly alongside iMac

Thu, 15 May 2008 08:44:27 +0000

Xtand is a beautiful stand for your iPhone, which looks like something made by Apple. As a matter of fact, this stylish cradle has iMac-like solid aluminum construction that makes me think why it didn't come in box alongside the iPhone. Unfortunately, it won't charge your beloved handset, but it will help you enjoy movies in [...]
