iSkin Solo FX Review

Finding an iPhone case that’s attractive and utilitarian isn’t always easy.  It is now.  The iSkin Solo FX is a totally swank iPhone case that will have onlookers gawking uncontrollably at what they think is an absolutely unknown phone.

hypnoseye

The HypnosEye Projector is a completely wireless projector and is a cheap and easy way for you to display visual media from your iPhone.  It actually works with any phone that has an adjustable brightness as it uses a special mirror with a reflection agent at the top of the glass instead of the bottom making for a more clear image.

MovieWedge Review

Doubling as a hacky-sack, the MovieWedge is a convenient way to view media horizontally on your iPhone or iPod touch.  The MovieWedge is lightweight and portable beanbag-esque cushion that supports your iPhone for prime viewing. Embracing a brutally simple design aesthetic, the MovieWedge can effectively adapt to most any surrounding.  Capable of changing shape to a small degree, the MovieWedge can easily fit in where ever you need it.  From a stiff but moving airplane tray table, to your bed or your grassy backyard, the MovieWedge is unlike any iPhone stand you have used before.

Powermat - 12Powermat Review

When we saw Powermat’s offering at CES 2009 we were pretty excited.  After all, who doesn’t want to ditch the always cubersome plug in process for all their mobile gadgets.  But like most gadgets, especially those that offer a game changer to the industry, skepticism is abound.  So does the Powermat live up to all it promises to be?

It’s official: the Palm Pixi will hit Sprint on November 15th and cost $99.99 after a 2-year and $100 mail-in-rebate. That’s a pretty solid price considering it’s multitouch and includes a full QWERTY keyboard.

Nokia’s N-Gage Gaming Platform Disengages, Moves To Ovi Store

Nokia N-Gage

I’d love to say I could say ‘I told you so’ but since I never once wrote about the inevitable demise of Nokia’s N-Gage gaming platform on this blog I really can’t.  But alas, the gaming unit has met its end.  The news actually comes as no surprise.  First it was all about the N-Gage phone, which at best was like talking into a stack of stale hard tacos.  That hardware obviously failed.  Then Nokia had an epiphany and decided to make N-Gage less about hardware and more about an app store for a select set of Nokia handsets – they had to have the computing power.  Course, then the iPhone came along and pretty much upstaged anything Nokia had done from a gaming stand point for mobile handsets. But like all things Nokia, the N-Gage store will stay open until September 2010, with service running through the end of next year.  Then Nokia will just offer all its gaming content through their Ovi store,  So to reiterate, Nokia ain’t getting out of the gaming biz, they’re just simply rebranding it.

inPulse Blackberry Watch Up For Preorder

inpulse Blackberry Watch

Remember the inPulse, the perfect compliment to your Blackberry?  Well, today it got official and will ship this coming February for $149.  As previously stated the phone will display your incoming calls, messages, texts, emails and calendar info right on its 1.3-inch OLED screen.  They’re stating that the battery is good for up to 4 days, that is assuming you receive just 20-30 updates a day – we think most people receive double if not quadruple that in the business world so expect battery life to vary greatly.  There’s no such mention of a touchscreen (not possible at this price), but it would appear as though interaction is had through a single button.
  • 1.3″ full colour organic light-emitting-diode (OLED) display
  • Bluetooth® v2.0+EDR
  • 150 mAh lithium-ion polymer battery
  • Glass lens and full metal body
  • 22mm interchangeable wrist band
  • Vibrating motor
  • Micro-USB port (for charging)
  • Over-the-air firmware updates
  • Dimensions: 51mm height x 38mm width x 12mm depth

KeyChain Bomb Speaker

mini-bomb-speaker

I really hope this item doesn’t cause an uproar at the airport, though I’m sure some fool will whip this out and say “what do you think of my bomb” once on board.  For those of you who like to share what’s on you iPod or iPhone with strangers and friends without swapping earwax you might want to give this bomb a looksy. The fuse is your input jack and the little bomb speaker has a internal rechargeable battery that will last for 4 hours.  Since it is powered I’m guessing it might not sound like total crap.  On sale now for $22.
