November 05, 2012/ Nir Schneider

Ha!? Would you look at these clever vinyl labels designed to give life to your iPhone, iPad and iPod power adapters and Lightning cables. Made by a Kickstarter campaign by the name of Whooz?, these colorfully designed vinyl labels let you personalize your stuff so you won't have to pick fights with people that keep using your unified Apple white power adapters again.

Whooz? covers just about every Apple-made iPhone, iPad and iPod power adapters and USB charging cables dressing them up in characters or simple solid colors. $10 will net you a pack with four sheets of removable vinyl labels. Each sheet packs a different look. One sheet includes enough vinyl labels to cover one adapter, the ends of one USB cable and one set of EarPods or older models per your choice.

CordLite Dock Connector Cable Illuminates The Way

May 19, 2012/ Nir Schneider

We all had our frustrating moment in the dark trying to connect the charging cable to our iPhone and various other iOS devices not knowing which side is up, blindly resorting to trial and error thru the way of sensing where the dock connector port is. The CordLite answers that very specific need and points you to the right direction using the power of light. Like any standard USB 30-pin dock connector cable, the CordLite can sync and charge your iPhone, iPad or iPod, but when you pick it up, the CordLite's bead blasted aluminum touch sensitive panels surrounding the 30-pin connector eliminate the need of switched and buttons, instantly illuminate the built-in LED lights to help you make the connection in the dark. Letting go will automatically turn of the guiding lights in the connector. Brilliant!

Finding the cable itself in the dark is easier to do than having to guess your way to making a rather complex connection with minimal visibility, wouldn't you say? The CordLite is currently a Kickstarter project waiting to be fully funded which it will, and will be ready to ship in September. You can pre-order yours now starting at $25 with your choice of black or white cable. Video after the break!

March 23, 2012/ Nir Schneider

It's true when they say the best things come to the iPhone. This Kickstarter project is so incredible you would think Apple itself had a hand in the making. The Galileo is a revolutionary accessory for iOS devices. It's a robotic platform that is wirelessly controlled by any iOS device based on an infinite 360º spherical rotation platform that feeds live video feed to your iOS device of choice good for capturing panoramic shots, smooth video, and track moving objects around. The possibilities are quite literally endless.

The Galileo is capable of infinite 360° pan-and-tilt at speeds up to 200° per second in any orientation using an iPhone 3G/S, iPhone 4/S, iPod Touch or even a GoPro camera. The Galileo also features a standard tripod mount for mounting on any tripod, built-in rechargeable battery and it will also serve as a charging dock for your iOS device when plugged in for recharging over USB. You can pre-order yours for $85, will retail for $129.95. Be sure to catch the Galileo in action after the jump!
