Griffin Adds Microphone and Controls to TuneBuds For the iPhone, iPods
Griffin has announced updated versions of their TuneBuds Mobile and SmartTalk products for both versions of the iPhone, the iPod nano 4G, iPod touch 2G, and iPod classic (120 GB). TuneBuds are intended to be an alternative to Apple's upcoming premium in-ear headphones—both offer a built-in microphone and remote for answering calls and controlling playback, although Griffin's version costs considerably less at $40 (but that is without the dual drivers). Or, if you prefer, Griffin's updated SmartTalk accessory will give you the microphone and remote functionality with your current earbuds for only $20. More » -

Griffin's Simplifi iPhone Dock/Card Reader Isn't a Crappy USB All-In-One Device
For those of you who were skeptical of the Griffin AirCurve wire-free iPhone amplifier/dock thingy comes this USB dock that is a genuine neato solution. Dubbed "Simplifi," for once it's a product name that tallies with the product's purpose: it's a combined iPod/iPhone dock that has a CF card slot, a Memory Stick/SD/xD card slot and two powered USB ports. See how useful and clutter-reducing that'd be perched on your desk? It's out now for $69. [Griffin via Wired] -

Griffin AirCurve Dock Amplifies Your iPhone Speakers Without Electronics
As I recall, there have been devices in the past that amplify the sound of portable devices using a system of channels as opposed to electronics, but the AirCurve from Griffin is designed specifically to work with the iPhone and the iPhone 3G. No power source is needed—the AirCurve directs sound from the iPhone speakers through a "coiled waveguide" that, according to Griffin, produces a sound akin to a set of desktop speakers. More » -

Griffin iTrip Universal Adds Radio Out to Almost Anything
Griffin's iTrip Universal is their latest adapter allowing FM-broadcasting from a music player to your car's radio. But unlike older models that hooked through the iPod's proprietary port, the Universal can stream music from any 3.5mm headphone jack. That means it'll work fine with your iPod, Zune, Discman—hell—even your bright yellow Walkman. Featuring a built-in lithium ion battery, it will broadcast anywhere from 88.1 MHz to 107.9 MHz for "hours" between charges. And it goes for $40. [Griffin] -

Griffin WindowSeat Holds Your iPhone/iPod Touch at Eye Level For Convenient Viewing, Face Hitting
This Griffin WindowSeat is a suction cup-based iPhone/iPod touch mount for your car, allowing you to keep your phone at eye level for easy map viewing and voicemail checking. What's left unsaid is how sturdy this thing is in case of an accident, and whether it will come careening off your window or dashboard into your face to make a comically iPhone-ish indentation on your cheek. Either way, it's $29.99, which isn't all that expensive for the ability to surf the internet while driving (kidding). [Griffin via PCWorld] -

Griffin PowerDock is Two iPods At the Same Time, Man
There's nothing better than two iPods or iPhones at the same time, unless you're talking about four iPods at the same time, but let's not get greedy. Griffin's PowerDock lets you bathe in the comfort of knowing two beautiful universal dock ports are being serviced simultaneously, while at the same time holding them upright in a gentle caress that only a dock that's certified as "Works with iPhone" and "Made for iPod" can. You too can get two iPods at the same time for not one million dollars, but $49.99. [Griffin] -

AMD Puma Mobile Platform Launching Next Week, Fighting the Good Fight
Intel's upcoming (and delayed) Centrino 2 isn't the only mobile platform in town. At Computex, AMD will be showing off its Puma platform, which is made up of a Turion Ultra CPU (aka Griffin), a mobile version of the 780G chipset and Mobility Radeon 3200 integrated graphics (yay synergy). AMD's mostly targeting "volume business and consumer markets," so it's aiming a bit lower than Centrino 2. Which seems to match how it performs in comparison, unfortunately. Still it's good AMD's finally getting it out the door, fighting the good fight. [TG Daily] -

Griffin ClearBoost iPhone Case Reviewed (Verdict: Who Do You Believe?)
Griffin's new ClearBoost case promises protection and a cellular signal boost for the iPhone, but does it deliver on those promises? Well, that would depend on who you believe. iLounge claims that the signal boost works, but not under the weakest signal conditions. Crunchgear, on the other hand, called the signal booster "one of the greatest scams perpetrated on mankind since the Kennedy assassination." Hmm...strong words. However, both agreed that the case itself was decent, so at least you have that for your $30. UPDATE: It appears that Crunchgear's review was done using a hacked iPhone on T-Mobile, which would account for the problems. Griffin tells us the ClearBoost was made for AT&T's network.

From Rumorware to Bandwagonware: Here Come the MacBook Air Accessories
It starts with a case: This week, after one company preemptively announced a sexy MacBook Air sleeve before the Jobsnote, others have followed suit. Not only is there a real Manila folder case in the works, but others, from WaterField to Belkin, are launching their own lineups. Here are Belkin's first hasty MBA-friendly bags. (They're pretty, but almost too pretty. Is Belkin saying that the MacBook Air is for girls?) Like I said, the Bandwagonware starts with cases—easiest to fudge—but soon we think we'll see companies like Belkin, Targus, Kensington, DLO and Griffin popping other goodies, from neon rubber protective skins to any number of competitively priced drives and dongles, just to fit in.

Griffin Evolve Is the Perfect iPod Dock (Well, Almost)
Over the weekend, I put the ballyhooed Griffin Evolve through the paces. As you know, this system has wireless speakers with their own rechargeable batteries. When they sit on the dock, they charge, but when you want them in the dining room or out on the deck, you just grab them—and the RF remote—and enjoy your tunes. Here are the questions you might have, and my no-BS answers:

Sneak Peek at Griffin's Wireless Evolve iPod Speakers
We went rummaging through Griffin's New York HQ yesterday and got some one-on-one time with the sexy new Evolve wireless speaker dock. Here's how it works. You dock your iPod on the Evolve base station and then you can carry the cube-shaped speakers anywhere you want. The speakers last for 10 hours per charge and Griffin says you should get about a 150-foot range with them. We didn't go the full 150 feet, but here's what we found out. More » -

Griffin Releases Yet Another iTrip—2nd Gen Nano Approved
I'm pretty sure that this is the 58th different iTrip released by Griffin, but we still buy them, especially because we are all suckers for iPod accessories. The latest iTrip is specifically designed for the second generation iPod nano. It fits on the back and bottom of the iPod. It doesn't look too bad, besides bulking up the nano a bit. Anyone remember back in the day, the original iTrip? Yeah, the tube/barrel thing that sat on top of the third and fourth generation iPods. Man, those were great. More » -

Griffin Radio Shark 2 is Like a Radio DVR, has Nothing to do With Sharks
Except for the fact that it looks like a shark fin, which has little to no relevance to the actual product. The Radio Shark 2 is an upgrade to Griffin's almost three-year-old Radio Shark 1. The Shark 2 plugs into a Mac or PC via USB and can then time-shift and record live AM or FM radio. This one is a bit better than the original because you have more customizable schedule recording features. It also is now compatible with iTunes and can handle Internet radio. The Radio Shark 2 is available for $50. (Psst...HD Radio users, a Radio Shark HD is on the way.) More » -

Griffin Cradles Your iPod with AmpliFi and Voyager Speakers
Looks-wise, Griffin's new iPod speakers are impressive. On one hand you have the Amplifi, which reminds us of the SpeckTone dock if Darth Vader were to design one. The $150 AmpliFi has two 2.75-inch speakers along with a 5-inch subwoofer and an auxiliary input for hooking up other players. For those who like taking their iPod on the road, there's the $130 Voyager, Griffin's first rugged iPod speaker dock which is enclosed in a removable suit of rubber. It's got built-in speakers as well and like the AmpliFi runs off a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. We're siding with the AmpliFi cause we're superficial like that, but you should be able to pick up both speakers by early next year. Click through for a look at the Voyager. More » -
