Dexim iPhone/iPod Dual Clock Charging Station

admin — Mon, 04 May 2009 15:02:21 +0000

iPod Charging get a new boost with this new Dexim iPhone/iPod Dual Clock Charging station. Power consumption has always been a problem for iPod/iPhone owners, often in need of a reliable charging station to use.

The Dexim Dual Dock Charging Station solves this problem with two dedicated power docks and a selection of adapters to fit every iPod/iPhone model except the shuffles. The day I brought mine from home to the office, someone announced over Twitter that one was needed. I pulled it out and we found the cradle adapter to fit and he was off to the races. With this setup on hand, any iPod/iPhone can be fully charged from stone dead to full in 60-90 minutes.

Included in the box is the unit itself, a power cable, and six dock inserts. Snapping them in and out is not intuitive, but once you pay attention to it once, you’ll be able to use them in no time. All the parts are held in vacu-formed clear plastic in a cardboard box. No Jaws of Life are required to extricate anything.

Gold-bodied iPhone costs just £23k

admin — Fri, 01 May 2009 07:53:40 +0000

Goldstriker has struck the right cords (for a previleged few) many times before, but it seems that they have outdone themselves this innings. They have now replaced the whole body (not just the plating, mind) of an iPhone 3G with solid 22-carat gold and added 53 exquisite VVS1 diamonds to the Apple logo found on the back. It took four craftsmen and months of intricate work by hand to finally get this iPhone blinged out and needless to say, all that hard work don’t come cheap. This special iPhone 3G goes for no less than a staggering £22,995, roughly $34k or a kid’s college education. We are not sure if this includes an early shot at iPhone 3.0 OS, but who cares as long as it shiny all over right?

iPWR SuperPack for Apple Devices

admin — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 04:40:12 +0000

Tired of running out of batteries for your iPhone? Well maybe it is in the charging stage. Sometimes, if your iPhone does not get the right charging, you may as well end up falling short of using them especially if you are fond of using it for games and other applications that come with it.

The iPWR SuperPack uses direct-connect technology in order to juice up your device’s battery no matter where you are, and even when the device is in use. This SuperPack is touted to offer more than double the amount of time an iPhone 3G user can spend with their device before it gets exhausted, which translates to roughly seven hours of non-stop yakking, 10 hours of Internet surfing or audio playback of up to 40 hours. When the iPhone 3G is left idle and being charged, it takes a mere 2.5 hours to juice up to the maximum.

Price: $59.95

Camera Genius for the iPhone

admin — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 16:28:59 +0000

Here is a potential solution for people who are having problems with the default camera the iPhone comes with. The app is the Camera Genius 1.3. It adds some worthy features to the iPhone’s bare-bones camera, but the app could use more polish and a more usable interface.

Camera Genius solves a few of the problems inherent in the iPhone’s built-in camera like its poor performance in low light, the difficulty snapping the shutter when taking self-portraits, and its lack of a timer.

The app also offers a neat feature: A sound-sensitive shutter release, so you can program the camera to snap a photo when you and a group of friends shout “Cheese” at it.

iPhone Paired with External Keyboard without Hacking it

admin — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 03:17:47 +0000

Some folks insist that one of the deal breakers of the iPhone is the lack of a physical keyboard while, in my opinion as a long time iPhone user who is used to its virtual keyboard, the need for a physical keyboard is unnecessary.

However, I have realized that as user habits change, and they depend more and more on smartphones like the iPhone rather than laptops while they are on the move and start using them for things like writing blog posts, long emails etc then an external keyboard can prove to be quite useful.

Stephen from Perceptive Development dropped us a comment on our earlier post about how an iPhone was hacked to make it work with a Bluetooth keyboard to tell us that they have developed a hardware and software solution that allows an external keyboard to work with an iPhone without hacking it.

We have already seen few solutions where an iPhone was hacked to pair it with an external keyboard such as wiring it up to a genuine physical keyboard or using an external Bluetooth module to pair it with a Bluetooth keyboard and then without any external Bluetooth module.

Perceptive Development is claiming that they have developed a hardware and software solution that will allow you to use an external keyboard with your iPhone.

They have explained how they managed it:

“Zack used a Cypress PSoC microcontroller to emulate a simple modem, and then expanded it to detect an infrared signal or read from a USB host controller, and convert this sginal convert it to an FSK signal for transmission to an iPhone.

George then created an iPhone application to decode the FSK signals to interpret the keyboard data and display the appropriate characters on-screen.”

They have also published a video to give a quick demo of their working solution:

Based on the video, the hardware and software solution appears to be quite wiry, and I must say I can definitely type a lot faster on my iPhone’s virtual keyboard then the guy giving the demo on the external keyboard.

But the impressive thing about their feat is that they didn’t hack the iPhone and used less than $20 worth of electronics.

The other interesting bit about their solution is that they used iPhone firmware 2.0 SDK and not iPhone firmware 3.0 which was previewed by Apple last week. Apple has added support for peer to peer connectivity in iPhone firmware 3.0 over Bluetooth which many believe can be used to pair an external keyboard to the iPhone.

Perceptive Development plans to release the schematics and source code of their solution in April.

What do you think about their solution? How many of you will like to use an external keyboard with an iPhone? We would love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below

Creative Xdock

admin — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 06:31:17 +0000

We all know the feeling of working on a great idea only to have it torpedoed at the last minute or even worse to know you have a winner but find that the company you work for just couldn’t bring themselves to do it. Then pity the poor design engineer at Creative who had to pitch the new Xdock Wireless. This bundle of WiFi music sending fun looked to all intents and purposes to be a “no brainer” when the engineer took the lift to the 12th floor board room and started his pitch.

Instead of having to keep your PC switched on to act as a music server or to transfer all your library to another expensive dedicated device what could be better than using your MP3 player. The board execs eyes opened and even the FD who was often disinterested in new spangly ideas seemed interested. The principle is simple enough, utilise the hard drive of the MP3 player and the user interface combine this with some regular RF networking and some receive units and you have yourself a system.

As you may have guessed this is not some pipe dream but a real new gadget set to hit the UK shops next month (March 07). Creative have designed the Xdock so that the minimum set-up is a base station or transmit unit and a single receiver, you can of course add multiple receive units for each room in the house. The base unit either docks the MP3 player or can also take a feed via an aux cable, it then streams the audio output as is plays back from your MP3 player via the 2.4Ghz frequency to any tuned in receivers. It all sounds pretty neat but also easily repeatable as in essence you could wander down to your local Maplins and pick up the required parts. What creative have done rather well is glue them all together in a tidy package with a simple control system consisting of a large rotary control knob for volume and basic play / pause and skip functionality.

The Xdock unit also comes with an RF remote control allowing you to operate it from a distance and it like the Xdock receivers has RCA audio outputs plus it has an optical audio output for those who wish to connect that way. So to some tests, first up we plugged up our MP3 player to the Creative Xdock and found that it started to charge (a bonus) next we selected a playlist and hit play, as expected the music came forth from the docks own audio outputs via our stereo, nothing special there, but it does all work as advertised. Each transmitter can handle up to 4 Xdock receivers and these can be controlled as a group all playing the same tracks or you can turn each unit and and off univocally all from the remote control.

Next to the adjacent room and an X-Fi receiver which sat powered from the mains ready to run, no need to go through pairing procedures or to set WEP keys just turn up the volume and tune in. Creative make some bold claims for the audio quality of the X Dock bigging up the X-Fi technology which manages to mask the real technology in use. However let’s not be too harsh as we have yet to find a Bluetooth based system that manages to provide good quality audio. BT audio senders are restricted by the max 1mbps throughput even though they may only need to send 128kbits, subsequently the fail to deliver a good QOS (quality of service) and the audio comes and goes more times that Britney spears in rehab! Oh and we won’t even mention the poor 10 meter range of most BT devices.

The Creative Xdock however manages to deliver a good QOS with sound that to our ears was as good as that heard via the main Xdock unit that was directly connected to our MP3 player. You don’t get full control of the MP3 player from the remote stations, yes you can adjust your listening volume and also skip tracks. But there is no ability to browse the library (as there is no screen) and no access to play lists unless you pre load them on the player first.

Creative push their 2 audio enhancements hard, namely the crystalizer? which makes MP3 sound better than CD by lifting areas normally lost to compression and their CMSS-3D sound. Do they work? in a word No, the crystalliser makes everything sound like a badly aligned 80’s graphical equalizer and the 3D effect is about as convincing as those found on most stereo TV sets.

Should you have some video on your device it can be viewed via a video output on the rear of the main Xdock unit but this cannot be transmitted to the X-Fi units which are far more basic with just the RCA audio outputs and 3.5mm headphone jacks.

Overall a tidy package and one that shouldn’t cost the earth either when compared to your other choices. Now the only downside for the engineer who sat in the boardroom that day was revealed when the execs asked if this would help sell Creative’s range of MP3 players.

Sheepishly he shifted in his seat and started to explain that the Xdock was in fact designed for an Apple iPod and not Creative’s own range. Doh! So while you and I can happily slide our 3 – 5G iPods, iPod Nanos and Minis into the Xdock spare a thought for the genius who turned your Pod into a home wireless music server as he tries to make a version that will work with his Companies own MP3 players.

Expect the Xdock Wireless system to be on sale before the Summer and priced at around £150 for the TX unit and £80 for the receivers.
