DIY Cardboard iPhone Dock Could Have Come From Apple

This do-it-yourself cardboard iPhone dock is so pretty that it actually could have been designed by Jonathan Ive himself. Of course, if Ive had designed it, it would have an Apple logo and sell for $40 instead of being free. Pretty sweet. Go get the PDF and do it yourself here. [iPhone Dock via Unplggd]

Apple Tablet with 9.6-inch Touchscreen, HSDPA in February?

I know, another tablet rumor right? But stay with me on this one. Taiwan Economic News’ “industry sources” say it’s real, and will have a 9.6-inch touchscreen, HSPDA, a P.A SEMI processor, “long lasting battery” and cost $800 to $1000… The new report gets more specific than previous rumors by breaking down which Taiwanese component…

Penn and Teller iPhone App Is as Magical as It Is Doomed

Noted Vegas performers, pop skeptics and magician-angerers Penn and Teller have turned their sights to the App Store, demoing their first attempt iPhonery at the TechCrunch50 today. Surprise! It’s a cool, iPhone-catered magic trick—but probably unapprovable. Here’s the trick: You ask a friend for a card, any card, which Penn and Teller will guess via…

Why People Are Barking Up the Wrong Tree With the iPod Touch Camera Case

The Macintosh as Designed By Leonardo da Vinci

I really liked the iPhone as designed by Leonardo t-shirt, but I absolutely love this one, showing the original—and still my favorite—1984 Macintosh in the same style.

B&W Zeppelin Mini iPod Dock Is Neither Zeppelin Nor Mini, But I Like It Anyway

I’m not a fan of iPod/iPhone docks, but I can definitely use the new B&W Zeppelin Mini with rotating dock arm.

Kickster Takes A Stand, Adds Grip and Kickstand to iPod Nano

Besides the fact that I think lots of gadgets should have kickstands, this new iPod Nano case is actually practical. The Kickster has a kickstand on the back that doubles as a handle for holding the Nano in video mode. Our Nano reviewer had pretty steady hands when filming footage, but for those that get…

Lexus Concept Puts iPhone Docks in the Headrests

Great! No more lugging those Bose docks into the car! While Toyota may have the worst track record for iPhone/iPod support in the entire car industry, their new hybrid Lexus LF-Ch Concept sports these very clever docks in the headrests. I’m guessing that an intense game of TapTap Revenge could get a little tiresome for…

The GPS Who Wants To Be an iPhone

I wish there was a quick way to snatch many of these cheap Chinese thingamajigs. Like the MMDD MD-520, a 4.5-inch touchscreen “all-in-one GPS” that really does it all, including cloned iPhone icons and Flash. In fact, it’s probably the only thing resembling an iPhone ever getting Flash. It comes with a 16:9 4.5-inch touchscreen…
