I’m not really a fan of jailbreaking. Some of my friends have attempted to jailbreak their iPhones, iPod Touch and first-gen iPads. Even though they were successful, the common complaint I heard from some of them was that the jailbroken device became more unstable. I think that’s a poor tradeoff. But from what I’ve been hearing about a vulnerability in the current iOS, it looks like jailbreaking will actually be a solution. [Read more…]

Multimedia docks became very popular when Apple’s i devices took off. The product that opened the door to docks was the iPod. Many manufacturers came out with various products to maximize the use of the iPod so that people can share their music in a larger environment. The introduction of other Apple portable devices means new dock configurations and figures will also be introduced. [Read more…]
Apple’s devices are so versatile that manufacturers keep thinking of various things to attach to it. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone actually thinks up of a way to attach a coffee machine to an iPad or iPhone. Before that glorious day arrives though we can just ogle right now over an oscilloscope that attaches to your Apple device. [Read more…]

I love listening to music. In fact, I can’t go out without making sure I have my usual gear – two iPods for all of the new music I need to listen to, a Sansa Clip+ that I use for FLAC files, two in-ear buds and two headphone amplifiers. Yes, that’s my normal gear for just going out to run errands. [Read more…]

The iPhone (regardless of the model) is undoubtedly one of the most sought after mobile phones today, if not THE most sought after one. Of course, we cannot discount the fact that the gadget itself offers so much fun for the user. However, the plethora of accessories for the iPhone makes owning one even more fun.
Check out this iPhone case, which might very well be the coolest one out there. The brain child of Australians Christ Peters and Rob Ward, the Opena case for the iPhone 4 does more than protect your beloved gadget from scratches and all that jizz. If you find yourself facing an emergency – such as having bottles of beer to open and not having a bottle opener handy – then your Opena case will save the day.
So how did the guys come up with this idea? In their Kickstarter page, they share: ((Opena at Kickstarter))
If you’re anything like us you like to travel light. The one thing we always have on us is our phones. The one thing we always seem to be looking for is a bottle opener. Some of our friends carry bottle openers on their keys but there are times when you don’t always have your keys with you. If you’re drinking should you really be driving anyway?
After consuming a few ales one sunny afternoon we came up with a solution. Why not put a bottle opener into an iPhone case…? Brilliant!
Not exactly a “Why didn’t I think of that” moment, but the guys are on to something, I think. If you’re concerned about the case/bottle opener not being safe enough to protect your baby, you shouldn’t. That is, of course, one of the main considerations that the inventors had when they conceptualized the project.
They are currently raising funds – target is $15,000. You can join in on the fun and be one of the first to receive the Opena. For a mere $15, you get the Opena shipped to you. There are only 100 slots for this. The more you give, the more perks you get. You can check out their Kickstarter page for more information.
I consider myself an admirer of all things Apple. I think their products are really cool and if I had deeper pockets, I’d be joining the Apple bandwagon and buying every single thing that the company produces. Right now all I have is a four year old Macbook, various iPods and an iPad 2 I bought on launch day. [Read more…]
