Panasonic Offering Time Warner Cable IPTV and DVR Access App

With IPTV coming more popular with AT&T U-Verse, Verizon FiOS, and more, at CES 2012 Panasonic is showing off TWC streaming TV channels with a new application. Panasonic is demonstrating TWC with DLNA(Digital Living Network Alliance) streaming access to anything stored in a DVR on the same network. The app will be able to work on 2012 and 2011 Panasonic HDTV's but there is no word of a release date. No one is clear on whether cable companies are finally going to make the full jump toward IPTV yet or anytime in the near future. This technology is going to be launching on more platforms later this year, and may fully remove set-top boxes.

Scan Photos Into Digital Using Your iPhone With Ion's Pics 2 Go

This mini portable photo booth is a simple solution that will bring 3x5 and 4x6 printed pictures onto a user’s iPhone in a matter of seconds. Ion's new Pics 2 Go helps you easily bring all of your precious photos prints, negatives and slides into the digital world by using the built-in camera on the iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 without the need of a computer.

The app also includes color correction, brightness controls and the ability to email or post a picture to Facebook instantly, all without a computer.

The Pics 2 Go photo tray features separate areas for 3×5 and 4×6 prints so the picture is held perfectly straight and ready to capture. There's a hinged frame that gently presses photos flat and prevents them from bowing. The design of Pics 2 Go ensures consistency and quality because photos are always in the same position with the same lighting, and your iPhone camera is always in the same spot so there’s no adjustment needed.
Two additional trays are included, one for negatives and one for slides. No exact release date available. But the $59.99 price tag sure makes us think why not just use a printer scanner?

Mobee Debuts Magic Feet & Power Bar, Magical Wireless Charging Orgy

CES 2012 is fast approaching and companies are eager to show us what they've got in store. Mobee has announced its latest Mac peripheral accessories today including the Magic Feet and Power Bar. Both of which are means of conveniently keeping your Apple Wireless Keyboard, Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad all charged up without wasting batteries and time. The Magic Feet is Mobee's Magic Bar and Magic Charger all fit into one big inductive charging station made out of white plastic and aluminum that can wirelessly recharge your Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse at once, or both the Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse using inductive rechargeable cylinder battery and a rechargeable battery pack.

The Magic Feet can charge up to three devices simultaneously, but you're out of luck if you want to charge both Wireless Keyboard and Magic Trackpad at the same time. It takes 6 hours to fully charge a device which will then last for 10 days on a single charge. The Magic Feet will start shipping early March for $149.90.

Mobee's second charging accessory is a lot more affordable and called the Power Bar. Instead of going with wireless induction charging, the Power Bar replaces the Magic Trackpad's double AA batteries with its own screw-in, rechargeable battery cylinder that can be recharged using a micro-USB cable taking up virtually no space unlike its siblings. The Power Bar is also expected to be available in early March for $29.90. Both are now available to pre-order.
