We know ZAGG from invisibleSHIELD™  for iPhones, iPods, but now they made something totally different: a portable battery power for all USB powered devices.

Gadgething’s cold hard facts:

      Gadgething opinion thumb Design: it looks cool.
      Gadgething opinion thumb down Price: $129.99 too much, even so on their web page is stated $69.99
      Gadgething opinion thumb Small size 3.5 x 3.5 x 1 inches, weight .54 lbs
      Gadgething opinion thumb up 6,000 mAh battery power, approximately 4x iPhone full charges
      Gadgething opinion thumb Dual USB outlets
      Gadgething opinion thumb Only USB, what about our camcorders

Gadgething opinion thumb Conclusion: For $69.99 looks very promising. On other way $129.99 is really too much. One another downside is only USB charging, they should have provided some kind of adapter for non USB devices.

RÄ“ new plug in IR remote control for iPhone

By MarioDecember 19th, 2009Cell phones, Gadgething: Most wanted, Home Audio, Home cinemaNema komentara

Rē remote control for iPhoneWe already wrote about new iPhone remote control RedEye which works through Wi-Fi (principle of converting infrared signals to WiFi), but this is something totally different: new NewKinetix devices Rē works as attachment directly on iPhone socket.  It works from all rooms, so you just need to plug it in and that is it.
It looks really interesting, but I have two problems with all those iPhone’s accessories and apps:  it seems like iPhone can do a lot, it looks like iPhone will be soon, if not already now, our the most important accessory in and out of home. But it always kicks back to battery power issue, because I, myself, have a hard time to sustain enough battery power for one day, with all those surfing, GPS navigation, music, etc, and now try to add a remote control function on to all that ?! OK, I am an extreme ‘zapper’, I’d probably zap at least few hundred times in one day on my Logitech Harmony One, but even for an average user, it will be too much for the battery. And, not only that, there is also one more thing: are you really ready to do plugin, plugout procedure every time you go out of the house ? I don’t think so. So there is only one solution for that: in the near future, every iPhone fan would really need to own at least 2 iPhones: one for in-house entertainment, and one for outside, or at least to have both, iPhone and iPod since RÄ“ works with iPod too.

JVC-XS-SR3Today JVC launches new iPod dock JVC XS-SR3 which on the first sight looks interesting, even so, I am not sure how it will look in real life because looking at those pictures I have a very ‘cheap plastic’ feeling. Also they designed a holder which is able to hold a iPhone/iPod horizontally, but why in the world would anyone buy a dock for $149.95 and watch a video there ? Will see …
