Wall docks can be pretty convenient placed around the house or used for travel purposes. Today’s wall dock is from DLO and it sports a clutter free design compatible with the full range of iPods and iPhones.
You may remember reading here, back in March, about the D3O protective plasticine goo being used in soldiers’ helmets, but now it’s got a more mundane use–as a gadget protector.
Parent company Tech21 recently launched a wide array of smartphone and laptop cases that offer between, get this, “140 and 221 percent more protection for a mobile device or laptop than existing cases can”.
See, D3O is a strange sort of chemically engineered, enhanced Silly Putty of sorts that, when you pull it apart slowly, stretches much like Silly Putty would. But if you jolt it abruptly, it hardens and becomes rigid, offering a shock absorption capability for relatively low space.
D3O cases are now available, and cost between twenty eight and fifty bucks depending on where you shop and what sizes you get.

Why we didn’t see these Star Wars iPhone cases 2+ years ago when the iPhone launched is beyond me, but nonetheless they’re here. For $30 you get a hard shell case (fits 3G or 3GS only) with either Darth Vader or a Storm Trooper’s face adhered to the back. Ships December 8th - just in time for Xmas. …Continue reading: Storm Trooper And Darth Vader iPhone Cases

It’ll be a long time, if not never, that Americans start using NFC (near field communication) to pay for their goods via a cell phone. But just in case you want to be on the cutting edge and happen to have a need to read and send RFID signals than you’re in luck. Wireless’ Dynamics just announced the iCarte 110, an accessory plugs into the iPhone or iPod Touch’s 30 pin connector and adds the aforementioned abilities to the handset. …Continue reading: iCarte 110 Accessory Add Contactless Payment To The iPhone
The HypnosEye Projector is a completely wireless projector and is a cheap and easy way for you to display visual media from your iPhone. It actually works with any phone that has an adjustable brightness as it uses a special mirror with a reflection agent at the top of the glass instead of the bottom making for a more clear image. …Continue reading: HypnosEye Projector For Your iPhone
Control is power and vice-versa. Scarface would agree. Those who have a Direct TV DVR and an iPhone will be happy to know that there is a new app out there that gives you full access to your account.
The app is FREE and will let you browse programs, stations and set new recordings from anywhere you have Internet access. Does Tivo have this yet?

Unlike TomTom’s offering, Magellan’s GPS Car Kit works with any GPS application out of the box. Aside from that, though, you get the usual feature set: power, amplified speaker, enhanced GPS, a dock that works with virtually any case or skin, noise canceling speakerphone and a windshield mount that rotates easily between landscape and portrait mode. There’s no word on price and if you want it to work with the iPod Touch then you’ll have to purchase Magellan’s application.

When ‘COD: World At War‘ hit the scene last year everyone and their little brother was ultra psyched for the Zombie board. After all, who doesn’t like slaying zombies, let alone Nazi Zombies. Now their first board, ‘Nacht der Untoten’ (German for ‘night of the dead’) has been transposed to the iPhone where you can engage in up to 4 player coop game play over WiFi (2 if Bluetooth).
At $9.99 it’s a bit steep, especially when you consider it’s just one board and the same board found on the console version. They’ve also got plans to roll out additional Nazi levels which will no doubt cost you.

You’d have to have some seriously huge nards to wanna wear the Black Ops Throat Mic in public, but that’s exactly what they intend for you to do since it’s iPhone compatible. Then again, nothing is worse then the geektastic Bluetooth headsets that people wear as every day jewelry.
Like iterations we’ve seen before, this headset picks up your throats vibration/audio and transfers it to the handset via a wired connection, while a small in ear headphone sends the audio to your dome. Should work great in a convertible, though I’m not sure how palatable the $119 price tag is for most.

Controlling a car via the iPhone is pretty old news at this point, but the boys (and girls) at Waterloo Labs have modded an old ass, broke ass Oldsmobile using every day parts to control the vehicle using the handset. If the Teenwolf Styles move (aka surfing the car) isn’t enough for you, check the modded power wheels.
