Apple Store App Now Lets You Purchase Accessories Yourself, In-Store Pickups

It took Apple a while to implement these what seem like no-brainer features for customers to check themselves out while purchasing accessories at Apple retail stores and paying via their iTunes account without having to wait for an employee to ring you up on an accessory on a busy day. Which just so happens to be almost every single business day. Apple has issued an update that enables you to use the Apple Store app with your iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S to make in-store purchases by scanning the barcode on the packaging without even having to interact with employees called EasyPay.

For larger purchases like Macs, iPods, iPads and iPhones you'll still need assistance of an employee. But if you don't feel like waiting, you can now purchase those devices beforehand and within an hour, pick up your purchase at your local Apple store without having to wait. That is until everyone else finds out about this. So have fun and shop responsibly! 

TBS iOS App Ad Shows A 15" MacBook Air?

We're not so sure what's up with TBS using some sort of MacBook Air mixed with a MacBook Pro hybrid in its latest iOS app video ad, but it sure look good and makes us wish Apple's next redesigned MacBook Pro will hopefully sport a similar thin design. TBS wants you to download its new free iOS app so you could watch TBS shows right on your iDevice. The video ad showing the MacBook Pro/Air hybrid has appeared throughout TBS shows online. Very funny, TBS.

Logitech Wants Its Own Fling, Outs Joystick For iPad

Logitech's latest gaming accessory is called the Joystick, and it's a springy plastic thumb stick with a few suction cups that you stick to your iPad's screen to give you better control while gaming. Looks familiar doesn't it? That's because Logitech has essentially taken Ten One Design's popular Fling and renamed it as if it were its own. Logitech has been on a shopping spree as of late. Going after products it thinks it can put its name on and sale like Zagg's Keyboard Case for the iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Only this time Logitech hasn't even mentioned its partnership with Ten One Design. At least Logitech's Joystick will run you a bit less at just $19.99 a pop instead of purchasing two Flings for $29.95.

Griffin Brings Out The Micro Guns With Helo TC Touch Controlled Helicopter

Parrot's AR. Drone may in fact be the most sophisticated iOS controlled helicopter, but Griffin's latest micro helicopter is heck of a lot more affordable and does a lot of what its much more expensive rival can do without breaking the bank. The Helo TC is Griffin's tuch controlled, gyro stabilized, USB rechargeable mico helicopter that lets you fly it using your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch using the free Helo TC app. It works using infrared instead of a WiFi or Bluetooth connection using the included Flight Deck adapter that clips onto your iDevice of choice. The Helo TC app lets you record up to three flight plan patterns and even take control of the 5 LEDs on board.

At first glance, the Helo TC looks just like any other micro helicopter you would find at your local mall or even on eBay. But those don't have the mighty power of touch controlling Griffin has to offer. The Helo TC touch controlled helicopter is out now and available in a stealthy black finish for $49.99.

Zentertain's iOS App Lets You Download Free Music Legally & Illegally

The app lets you download anything and everything your heart desires. Legal or not. Problem? Definitely. No attempts were made by the app creators to block such simple access by anyone who wants to download music illegally.

Past the weird brand names is a mysterious looking stand for the iPad 2 called the iWah. The whah? The iWah Original is a stand for the iPad 2 that allows you the guitarist, to utilize the iPad's built-in gyroscope and accelerometer to add effects such as the famous "wah" effects as well as controlling the volume swells.
