Snable helps you cut through the cable clutter at home, work and on the go [sponsored]

By Sebastien Page on Mar 9, 2013

I try to live a cordless life as much as I can. I play music over AirPlay at home, and Bluetooh while in my car. I use AirPrint to print documents directly from the comfort of my couch. But there are still these several cords and cables I can’t get rid of quite yet, such as my iPhone 5 charger, my wife’s iPad 3 charger, my MacBook Air charger, etc. The result is much more clutter on my desk than I can really stand.

Snable is a new product looking to get funded on Kickstarter that’s trying to solve this problem. As we were watching the promo video below with my wife today, we looked at each other and we thought the Snable would be perfect for some areas of our home where we get overwhelmed by cables. If you’re anything like me, chances are you might feel the same.

Today, we sit down with Adewale from Unique Design Solutions (UDS) and talk about the company’s new project. If their name sounds familiar, it’s probably because you’ve heard about them on iDB when we covered some of their previous projects such as the Vavo and the Foco… Read More

 

The OCDock, when iMac and iPhone become one [sponsored]

By Sebastien Page on Dec 5, 2012

Even though Apple has no plan to release its own dock for the iPhone 5, we’ve seen plenty of third party alternatives that all look as creative as they are original. The OCDock by OCDesk is one of these docks that not only looks gorgeous, but seamlessly integrates with your iMac or Thunderbolt display. It’s simple, it’s beautiful. In short, it’s something that Apple itself could have designed.

Today we sit down with Mart Jaetma, an OCDesk team member who is actively contributing to the development of the OCDock and its Kickstarter campaign. Mart tells us more about the OCDock, how it came to life, and why you should help fund his project… Read More

 

Bubblin floats to iPhone for soapy fun [sponsored]

By Jim Gresham on Sep 3, 2012

I am a big fan of pick-up-and-play iOS games. If gaming is done on my iDevice, I am not interested in building up my character or going through training levels. Most popular iOS apps are simple, intuitive, and intriguing enough to keep users coming back for more. Bubblin fulfills all of those criteria.

Since downloading it a few days ago, I have forced family members to watch me play or try their hand at the fun themselves. I really cannot argue with a fun and free addicting app for iPhone… Read More

 

Vavo: a universal stand and mount for iPhone [sponsored]

By Sebastien Page on Jun 16, 2012

You know we’re big fans of Kickstarter projects here at iDB. While some of them are kinda wacky and don’t bring anything new to the table, others are quite innovative and make me go “I need one of these.” That’s exactly the case of Vavo, a universal mount and stand for iPhone and other devices that recently launched on Kickstarter.

The folks behind Vavo aren’t stranger to Kickstarter or iDB. A couple months ago, they successfully launched Foco, a sound-enhancing device for the iPad, with a little help from iDB.

Today, we sit down with Adewale Adeluyi-Adelusi and Bojan Smiljanic from Unique Design Solutions and ask them more details about Vavo… Read More

CopyTrans Manager: iTunes for People Who Don’t Like iTunes [Sponsored]

By Oliver Haslam on Dec 24, 2011

Let’s face it, iTunes is a bit of a bloated mess. What started out as a handy jukebox has somehow turned into the music-selling, app-syncing behemoth that we are all so beholden to if we want to own an iOS device.

That means iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches all rely on iTunes as their way of keeping things in check – syncing songs, videos, apps, and playlists is all done via iTunes and one of those white USB sync cables. It’s how we’ve always done it, and it is how Apple wants you to do it.

Now yes, Apple has been keen to bring its ‘PC-free’ world to the iOS devices we all carry around. But what if you want to keep all your media on a computer and then sync it across to an iOS device without having to deal with all this cloud stuff? If iTunes is not your bag, then you might want to give CopyTrans Manager a try. Read More

 

Gather the Gems: A Surprisingly Fun iOS Game [Sponsored]

By Cody Lee on Dec 14, 2011

I’ve come across a couple of really solid iOS games in the past few weeks. First, there was Where’s My Water. When Apple started giving the game away I had to check it out. Then there was Heads Up. The RockLive title is about as addicting as they come.

So, needless to say, I was a bit skeptical when I was asked to review Gather the Gems. It falls in the same quick-play category as the aforementioned titles, and there’s limited space on my device. Can Gather the Gems earn a spot on my home screen? Read on… Read More

CASELLET, a Kickstarter Project That Needs Your Help [Sponsored]

By Sebastien Page on Nov 21, 2011

What I really like about Kickstarter is that anyone can come up with an idea, get funding, and turn a concept into a prototype that will eventually become an actual product.

With that in mind, it’s amazing to see that product development is not only for big companies anymore, but for people like you and me to create something awesome. This is exactly what Eddie Hsieh is trying to do.

When he couldn’t find what he was looking for, he decided to create it. This is when the CASELLET (case/wallet) concept was born. Eddie now needs to raise $22,000 to bring his product to life, so we sat down with him and asked him about his project… Read More

 

MobileMount, a Successful KickStarter Project [Sponsored]

By Sebastien Page on Nov 13, 2011

A couple weeks ago, we told you about a new Kickstarter project called “MobileMount,” an accessory that can serve as both a kickstand and a suction cup mount for iPhones, iPads, or pretty much anything else that has a flat surface.

Jose Sanchez, the guy behind the MobileMount, needed to raise $20,000 to start his project. Thanks to Kickstarter, some 1,300+ backers have already pledged close to $60,000 for the project, which goes far beyond Sanchez’s wildest expectations and there are still two more weeks to go, as anyone can still pledge until November 29th.

We sat down with Sanchez and asked him a few questions about his project. It’s actually quite an interesting story to see how someone like you and me can turn a simple idea into a real product… Read More

The Naughty Test – Puzzles for Your Naughty Mind [Sponsored]

By Sebastien Page on Jun 9, 2011

The Naughty Test is a new and somewhat controversial app created by Taptoid. It was initially rejected by Apple for having too much inappropriate content and crude humor. However, after some back and forth with Apple, the guys at Taptoid were able to get the app approved.

The app doesn’t really have any inappropriate content at all. It only seems dirty and inappropriate, and that’s the whole point.
