Carbon-Fibre Cover For the Apple Iphone

October 3rd 2008 00:01

I don't have an iPhone but it's one sexy and sleek gadget that I admire a lot. If I had one, I reckon I'd be one of those paranoid types, you know, one that's always worried about dropping and damaging such an awesome looking device. I'm not saying the iPhone isn't well made or sturdy, but given its rather large screen area and a back cover made from plastic, dropping it could do some damage, I reckon.

And you can't just put the iPhone in some el cheapo case/cover because you'd just ruin its good looks which is one of the phone's biggest draw cards in the first place. Surely there has to be some sort of compromise.

And there is in the form of a 100% aerospace grade carbon fibre. Anyone that knows anything about carbon fibre will have heard of its ultra lightweight and super strong properties. This particular case is no different - weighing in at just 7g, it features cut-outs for the screen, docking and headphones ports, side controls, camera, and home button which means the iPhone should never have to be removed from its protective sheath.

Thinly constructed yet ultra durable, the case measures just 119 x 64 x 15mm to ensure that only a few additional millimetres are added to the dimensions of the iPhone itself!

Buy it here.

Dynolicious: Auto performance meter for Apple iPhone

August 2nd 2008 00:25

The new Apple iPhone 3G has been out for a couple of weeks now but the hype surrounding the brilliant smartphone shows no signs of abating with some fantastic third party apps further increasing its popularity.

Rev-heads will absolutely love this 'Dynolicious' third party app - an automotive performance meter for the iPhone and/or iPod Touch. This is how it works. The app uses the hardware built-in to your iPhone to measure the performance characteristics of your vehicle without the need for any external wires or equipment.

By simply having your iPhone or iPod Touch with you in your car, the Dynolicious will be able to measure key performance characteristics such as 0-60mph acceleration times, 1/4 mile elapsed time, horsepower and even lateral G-Forces!

Not only will the app show details of your current test run, it also helps you maintain a history of test runs, including averages and trends for reference purposes. By maintaining this history, Dynolicious will allow you to compare before-and-after results if modifications are made to your vehicle including gains or losses from a performance (times, horsepower) standpoint.

Dynolicious is available from the Apple app store. [dynolicious.com]

Plug N play away.

Moving forward instead of sideways

Ever had to plug in a USB jack and find that the angle or position of the machine port is an immovable obstacle? Do you have multiple USB sockets filled you’re your essential gizmos? Well this nifty new invention available from USBFever.com is an affordable solution.

Flexible and designed specifically for most all portable and desktop technologies, the “crab like” design obviously refers to the crustacean like appearance of this neat gizmo. It’s a 6 Port USB hub that comes complete with an additional power supply for charging your device.

Under the microscope

External Hard Drives sometimes demand some extra volts to kick over and according to usbfever.com this solves it. As usual another simple little tool can make life easier in front of the screen or on the move.
