Army of Darkness Invades the iPhone

I can’t speak for everyone here, but I have no need for email or bank account transfers on the go. Mobile web browsing is overrated as are thousands of songs in your pocket. But an Army of Darkness iPhone app???????? Today, the iPhone fulfills its Destiny. The Army of Darkness Soundboard—which is completely freakin’ free—plays…

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]

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…

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. It has little to do with the original B&W Zeppelin, but it will look good in my new apartment. https://gizmodo.com/b-w-zeppelin-ipod-dock-blasts-the-real-zeppelin-285056 The $400 B&W Zeppelin Mini also has a USB port to connect directly to…

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…

Sporadic iPhone MMS Activations Happening Two Weeks Early

Scattered reports from our myriad of incredible tipsters and the Consumerist indicate that iPhone MMS is active, at least for some phones. The roll out is limited and seemingly very random, with iPhones gaining the ability across the U.S. Perhaps this is an early test to see if that dubious AT&T network can finally handle…

DIY Swivelling Lego iPhone Dock Fulfills Our Weekend Lego Quota

This is a pretty simple construction that actually doesn’t look as ridiculous as it sounds. The dock rotates, taking advantage of the iPhone and iPod Touch‘s accelerometer and making use of allowing movie-viewing landscape mode. Not bad! [BricksInMyPocket via DVICE]

Sprint CEO on Pre vs iPhone: “It’s like comparing someone to Michael Jordan”

Another day, another iPod dock. But Sharp’s DK-AP8P’s got something others don’t: A glossy remote with not one, but three iPod-style touchwheels.

iPhone OS 3.1 Breaks MS Exchange On Older iPhones

To an email-syncing office drone with an iPhone 3G, this change looks like a bug. To an IT admin, this change actually looks like a bugfix. But no matter how you see it, Apple screwed up somewhere down the line. Users are reporting that iPhone 3.1, which just dropped Wednesday, won’t sync with some Exchange…

Navigon for iPhone Sucker-Punches TomTom With Text-to-Speech, iPod Controls

Pioneer’s iPod Dock Speakers Can Also Stream Music via Bluetooth

Yeah, iPod speaker docks are a dime-a-dozen, but Pioneer’s new XW-NAS3 and XW-NAS5 seem a little better than most. The 2.1 speakers have a digital amp, built-in downfiring subwoofer, and an optional Bluetooth adapter lets them stream music wirelessly. Bluetooth being built-in would be nicer, but still, not having to connect to your iPhone 3GS…
