Call it tacky. Call it garish. Call it naff, if you must. Call it whatever you want, but this is the most unnecessarily amazing charger for iPhone and iPad ever created by humankind. It glows with electric blue light and it is animated! More »

You probably think that Urban Outfitters is for lomography-obsessed, ironic-canvas-bag-toting, paper-thin-dress-wearing hipsters like the ones above. And you're more or less right! But that doesn't mean they don't carry some kickass gadgetry. More »

It's fine for the occasional speakerphone call or voice memo, but if you want to record a concert that's worthy of sharing, you'll want to upgrade your iPhone's mic with Tascam's iM2 which adds a set of professional stereo mics. More »

The iPhone and the iPad are card-carrying members. Modern Warfare 3 is, like, the President. I'm talking, of course, about the Million-Plus Preorder Club. Now the Amazon Kindle Fire has joined the ranks. Before anyone even touched a Kindle Fire. More »

The iPhone 4S may have a kick-ass new 8MP camera and lightning-quick A5 processor but it has the same shortcoming as its S-less predecessor—no wheels for low-angle rolling shots. The hell Apple? Cineskates, however, may have the solution. More »

The award for ridiculous iPod docks clearly belongs to Jarre Technologies' 11-foot tall AreoDreamOne. Let's forget for a moment that you have an 11-foot speaker in your house that looks like a heat lamp outside of a restaurant. The dock requires you to climb a built-in ladder to plug in your iOS device. More »

We're idiots when we drive. We text, we watch movies, we careen into lakes blindly following GPS directions. So I'm having some trouble understanding how bolting your phone to the middle of your steering wheel is supposed to make us pay more attention to the road, not less. More »

It's OK to admit it—typing on a digital keyboard just doesn't give the same tactile satisfaction as on a real one. The Kiano4 does because it's a real sliding keyboard, rather than flipping, that attaches to your iPhone. More »

I never got the whole carry-your-own-breathalyzer thing. If you are going to drive, just don't drink. And if you are not going to drive, who cares. I measure my alcohol levels by the next morning's hangover and/or the distance from the bed I wake up in to my house. But since some people have to drink and drive, the duiPhone breathalyzer hack for the iPhone seems like a good one. [Tellart—Thanks M.] More »

We've seen iPhone/iPod alarm-clock docks before, but something about the simplicity of the Cygnett Grooveneo's design struck me. Could be that massive LED display like the best of 1980's radio-alarms, could be the sleek curved edges. It's got 2.75-inch stereo speakers, iPod dock connector, integrated AM/FM tuner, alarm function and you can even wake to proper 1980's radio alarm buzzer sound. It's touch-controlled, and has a remote, and it's out now for $90. [TFTS] More »

Hands up who thought Zune guy was crazy, even after his recent tattoo makeover?

If you bought the white iPhone because the black was too passé and they didn't have the leopard prints model available, then you can compensate for the lack of bad-enough taste by buying this gold retro handset. It's just like any other retro handset available, but you can connect it to the stereo/microphone jack of the iPhone and it's fake gold. Additionally, you can use it to smack people in your next sweded version of Scarface for just $50. [Ybuz via New Launches] More »

Just unveiled at Tokyo Designer's Week, EOps i24R3 is probably the best-looking speaker system for the iPod/iPhone I think I've seen. Plus it's jammed-full of wirelessness, so the iPod-dock, woofer-equipped base station is paired with two or more (up to eight) remote stereo speakers. And in the true spirit of iPhoneness it's gesture controlled— touch-free gestures too: you just wiggle your hand in front of the base station and control volume and equalizer functions. More »
]]> http://gizmodo.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5078199&view=rss&microfeed=true This guy's taken a jail-broken iPhone and hacked it by wiring it up to a genuine physical keyboard that's about as big as the phone itself. Yes... it's clever. But nononono: the beauty of the iPhone is its slender slippery sleekness, and I've found myself speeding up to darn fast text-entry rates using the virtual keyboard. This mod is like strapping a paddlewheel to a dolphin: bulky, old-fashioned and unnecessary. [Crunchgear] More »

Softbank's just stumped-up with this interesting mobile TV add-on for Japanese iPhone users: it's a separate unit with tuner and aerial that retransmits the signal over Wi-fi to the phone. The rechargeable device will give about three hours of TV oggling, and connects to a special iPhone app that'll be distributed free when the device hits the streets in mid December for a suggested price of around $100. Better still, the receiver unit doubles as an iPhone battery top-up when you link it via the dock connector, for double the utility. And just maybe it'll pave the way for similar non-1seg devices this side of the Pacific. [AVWatch] More »

Though Apple's live broadcast of its fourth quarter earnings doesn't start for another few minutes, they've already dumped the numbers on us. Here are the important ones: 6.9 million iPhones, 2.6 million Macs, and 11 million iPods. Wryly noting that "we sold more phones than RIM," Steve Jobs says they're still not sure how the recession is going to affect them, but whatever, bitches, they've got "$25 billion of cash safely in the bank with zero debt." We'll be following the call live in the post below, in case any other news breaks—like the death of the Mac mini. Update: Steve is on the call, says that iPhone is now 39 percent of their business, Apple is now world's "third largest mobile phone supplier." More »
]]> http://gizmodo.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5066543&view=rss&microfeed=true I'm going to give credit to Kazu Terasaki for designing a pair of robot legs for his iPhone. After all, creating a platform that will bring gadgets to you is a lazy, yet noble endeavor. Unfortunately, a couple of kinks have to be worked out before this can be a viable product. First of all, it still requires a laptop to coordinate the movements. Second, it is very gimpy (watch in horror as it stands up the edge of a table then hurls itself off). At any rate, his plan is to develop autonomous robot legs that can be attached to any device—which sounds good. He has a little work to do on the design though.

Check out the Hong Kong Apple store online and you'll see a couple of lines of text that'll tempt, tease and beguile you if you're dreaming of an unlocked iPhone 3G: "iPhone 3G purchased at the Apple Online Store can be activated with any wireless carrier. Simply insert the SIM from your current phone into iPhone 3G and connect to iTunes 8 to complete activation." About $700 will get you an unlocked 8GB version, and the 16GB is just $800. Handy for the dev team, no doubt. [Hong Kong Apple Store via Slashphone] More »

Apple's recently revealed its iPhone Developer University Program: it's aimed at higher educational institutions who wish to introduce an iPhone/iPod touch developer curriculum, and supplies the iPhone SDK free of charge for up to 200 students. Basically it'll mean that a class is a small developer company, able to share development apps within the team as they learn programming skills. Ultimately the school can also publish them through the App Store. You can either see this as a kind-hearted attempt by Apple to aid higher education, or a way of tapping into a rich vein of imaginative developers for new apps for the App Store. Either way, it's interesting stuff, though for now it's limited to accredited schools in the US. [Program page via AppleInsider] More »
