Threadless Shirts Become iPhone Cases

In a surprising but sensible partnership, Griffin will be adding Threadless designs to their iPhone cases. So far, only two models are available, and the going rate is $35. [Griffin via Gearlog]

Dealzmodo: $50 For an Incredible iPod Speaker Dock

If you've read Gizmodo since 2007, you may remember our iPod Dock Bracket. After 17 head-to-head matches, the Grifin Amplifi came out on top as champion. And now it's just $50. More »

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]

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. [Belkin]

Griffin PowerDock Charges Your iPod(s) X4

Griffin has introduced the new PowerDock that is capable of charging up to four iPods at once. It's a perfect charging solution for music loving families, or any dude who has multiple iPods and insists on using them all. Its functionality is limited to charging for now, but it is not hard to imagine the upgrades that could occur down the line. More »

SEMI FINALS, Logitech AudioStation Express Vs. Griffin Amplifi

There are only three battles left in our iPod Dock Bracket, and we will have a final verdict by the end of the week. Yes, we're amazed, too! For our first semifinals battle, our kings of cheap battle it out for the Cheapo Dock title. In one corner we have the AudioStation Express. In the other, we have the Griffin Amplifi. More »

Griffin's iKaraoke TunePrompter

Fans of Karaoke probably already own Griffin's iKaraoke attachment for the iPhone, but their iKaraoke TunePrompter takes singing by yourself to the next level. You can now take song lyrics and create your own Karaoke videos with them and display it on the iPod Video or the iPhone, allowing you to both watch lousy home-made videos and know what the words are to all your songs.

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 Amplifi, Journi iPod Docks Shipping

Despite announcing these pretty neat looking iPod docks back in January, Griffin's only getting around to shipping them now. If you recall, the Amplifi is a standard-looking iPod dock with a PowerMate stuck on the front for volume control. Like a wheel in the sky, perhaps. More »

Now the shuffle can get in on all the dock fun, with this Dock Adapter for iPod shuffle that lets you plug the little player into all those fancy-schmancy docks that will only work with an Apple dock connector. 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.) –Travis Hudson More »

Griffin Sushi-fies the iPod with California Roll iPod Case

The California Roll iPod case from Griffin won't turn your iPod into a delicious piece of sushi, but it will conveniently hold all of the iPod-related gear that you need. There are three pockets on the inside, one for the iPod and two others for accessories such as the earbuds, syncing cable, Bluetooth adapter, iTrip, etc. Place it all in and roll the sucker up. California Roll is available in blue, red or black and not limited for sale in California. $20. –Travis Hudson More »

Griffin Slaps PowerMate on iPod Dock, Pats Selves On Backs

It took Griffin five years to find something good to solder their PowerMate volume knob to, but they've finally settled for an iPod dock. The Amplifi is a 2.1 channel iPod dock/speaker, nothing notable, but this has a PowerMate-knob, a wireless remote, and an all-wood construction. It's got six iPod adapters, some stereo jacks, and a 5-inch woofer. More »

Griffin iTalk Pro, Now With Two Mics

Griffin updates its iTalk stereo microphone for iPod, now releasing iTalk Pro. Just plug it in and you can get CD-quality recordings with its two microphones, plus it's got a 3.5mm jack at the bottom so you can plug in your own microphone. It's compatible only with the fifth-generation iPod video and second-generation nano, yours for $50. 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 »

allTunes MP3 Knob

Despite being more than little bit similarity to the Griffin PowerMate knob (I have one sitting on my desk), the allTunes MP3 knob is made for MP3 playback, unlike the PowerMate's general purpose volume adjusting. Press down to play/pause, twist the outer knob for track forward/back and twist the inner knob for volume adjustment. More »

Griffin iKaraoke: Yes, Dear, You Sound Exactly Like Aretha Franklin

Can't afford your own karaoke-singing robot girlfriend? Griffin's next trick is iKaraoke, a little device that sends your iPod's music to your stereo via either a line-in cable or the FM band, and somehow removes vocals and adds yours to the mix. The microphone has controls that let you pause the music, scan backward and forward and add reverb effects, and you can push a button on-the-fly and bring the music's vocals back into the mix.

Griffin Disko: Not For the Inconspicuous

If you don't mind calling attention to yourself, maybe the Griffin Disko carrying case for iPod with video is just what you're looking for. Its motion-sensitive blinkinlights outline the clickwheel, blinking their fool LED heads off whenever you move. There's also a eerie-looking back/side case light thrown in for fun. More »

Griffin Centerstage Protects iPods While Giving Them a Leg to Stand On

Griffin Centerstage is an iPod case that doubles as a stand, giving you hands-free viewing by simply flipping open the anodized aluminum cover. It's available in four colors, along with a clear hardshell polycarbonate material that still lets you operate the iPod's click wheel. Available in time for the holidays, it'll be $25. More »
