Angry Birds Speakers Are Angry, and Speakers

Have you ever wanted something, but you're not entirely sure what you'd use it for, or even why you want it in the first place? Well, that's exactly the predicament we find ourselves in when looking at these Angry Birds speaker docks.

Manufactured by well-known accessory company Gear4, the speakers come in two flavors – the pigs are actually iPod speaker docks, and the bird version serves as plug-and-play speakers. You've gotta love it...

LaunchPort Accessory Lets You Wirelessly Charge Your iPad From a Wall Mount

Inductive charging is all the rage these days, since Palm brought the technology to the masses with its Pre and accompanying Touchstone accessory. Since then, various third-party manufacturers have released docks and cases for iPhones that allow charging without the need for pesky wires.

Now, LaunchPort goes one step further, allowing iPad 2s to be be charged while being literally hung on a wall...

Dropbox Gets an iOS-Optimized Web App Update with Sharing and Search

File syncing supremo Dropbox has given its mobile web app a lick of paint, thanks to a little help from one of the team's interns. The new web interface has more than a little bit of iOS about it, and it obviously works fine with all mobile platforms, such as, Android and Windows Phone 7.

The first update to the web app in around three years has some new features added to the mix, bringing search functionality and sharing options that don't currently exist in the App Store app...

Google Launches iOS Web App For Google Music

Oh Google, you so crazy! After leaving us iPhone users out in the cold while our Android-toting brethren run around streaming their music from this thing they like to call 'the cloud' (it's a bit like iCloud, I'm told!) you finally decide to bring the Google Music circus to iOS.

In typical Google fashion, things have been implemented a little differently than how we expected. Google Music for iOS isn't a native app, but rather a web app. And it's pretty darn good one...

Facebook’s Latest iPhone App Update a Twitter Rip-Off?

Facebook's iPhone app has been called out by the guy behind Twitter's iPhone app, after he spotted more than a little similarity between the two apps after a recent update. Facebook version 3.5 has received a bit of a makeover, with the new status compose screen seeing the biggest change – a change that makes it look very familiar with the Twitter compose screen.

As the picture above shows all too well, it would appear that someone at Facebook is a fan of the competition's iPhone app, with the two sporting very similar designs...

Apple’s Point-of-Sale System for the iPhone Detailed in New Patent

Apple may be widely known for its consumer and prosumer products, with Macs, iPhones and iPads providing its core business, but a new patent details what could be a move into the world of business and retail, with a new Point-of-Sale system in the pipeline.

While we doubt it will feature the tell-tale glowing Apple logo, the glorified barcode scanner does feature one Apple trait – it fixes a problem than many store workers don't know they have...

San Francisco Police Launches an Investigation into Missing iPhone 5 Search

There have been more developments in the case of San Francisco police helping Apple search a man's home in the hunt for a missing prototype iPhone, according to CNET, with the news that the police department is conducting an official, internet investigation into the role its officers played in the search.

San Francisco resident Sergio Calderon opened the door one day in July, to be confronted with what he thought was a group of plain clothed police officers. What he wasn't aware of was the fact that the individuals who entered his home were actually Apple's own security team, with the people who remained outside being the only ones who were actual police officers.

Apple Bullies “iCloud Communications” Out of Its Name and Web Site

It seems that Apple's iCloud has won another battle – a battle over its own name. Ars Technica reports that iCloud Communications has dropped its legal battle over trademark infringement, with the company changing its name to PhoenixSoft/Clear Digital Communications.

The move comes after Apple's crack team of rabid lawyers flexed their collective muscles, leaving the Phoenix-based company no option but to change its trading name. The company's website, geticloud.com, also appears to have disappeared as part of the deal...

Remember how excited we were about the possibility of playing our classic arcade games on the thing, despite our lack of any real information about the device?

You see, DVICE has answered some of our burning questions, and we don't like some of the answers...
