It started as a Kickstarter project and it received enough interest and funding to turn into a reality. The Kogeto Dot is a nifty little peripheral for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S that allows you to shoot 360 degree panoramic video.
It's the perfect accessory for recording sporting activities and pretty much anything that involves action. Take a gander at our hands-on video review of the Kogeto Dot...
Showing off some photos or videos shot on your iPhone with a group of friends is usually kind of a pain since not many of us like to pass our iPhones around. If only there was an iPhone projector!
Well, with a few household items, you can make your own iPhone/iPod projector within minutes.
We may have just found the perfect Christmas gift for your fellow iPad user. The iDrive is a steering wheel mount for your iPad, and it looks incredible.
When you're driving, it's hard to use your iPad to its full potential. You're limited by awkward, unnecessary things, like having to focus on the road or eat your breakfast. That's where the iDrive comes in, and you'll never know how you lived without it.
We've shown you a number of Kickstarter projects on iDB as of late, including the CASELLET case + wallet for the iPhone. We interviewed the maker of the CASELLET and told you how to pledge to receive your own iPhone wallet when it comes off the production line.
This time around, the iLLDmk-1 is calling itself the "world's thinnest iPhone wallet." The slim, polycarbonate case can hold your credit cards, cash, and even a key. It also serves as an iPhone case and kickstand.
Normally, something going by the name of "iStation" would make us cringe, but this time around we're going to make an exception. This particular iStation takes us back to our youth, and we love it!
This iStation is an iPad stand that also doubles as a home for speakers and a Bluetooth keyboard, both of which are included in the $140 asking price. Once everything is hooked up and switched on, the whole thing gives the effect of an old-school computer, just like we used to have when we were kids. (Stop laughing in the back there, we're not that old!)
Call us crazy, but there is just something appealing about taking a state-of-the-art tablet and making it look like an old PC. No, really...
Those with good memories, or at least those that can remember back to January of 2010, will probably remember the intense debate that raged around the original iPad. While many decided that it was purely a content consumption device, others argued that the on-screen keyboard's generous size would make it a device that could be used to create content, too.
Fast forward to today, halfway through the iPad 2's life cycle, and we're not really any wiser as to how useful the iPad is as a content creation device. Most of our misgivings come down to that software keyboard and its inability to offer any long term writing usefulness.
Part of the problem is the complete lack of haptic feedback, and as if by magic, one Kickstarter project is aiming to put that problem right.
Are you tired of your iPhone looking like all of the other millions of handsets out there? These new transparent back panels from iFixit should do the trick. They add a touch of cool to your handset by giving you insight to your iPhone's insides.
Typically, these see-through panels go for over $50, but for a limited time iFixit has them on sale for just $29.99. And you won't just get the back plate, iFixit is including the tools to install the thing, a screen protector, and a wet bag...
It's Cyber Monday, a day brought about by online retailers to generate the type of sales that brick and mortar stores see on Black Friday. While you generally won't find the "door buster" discounts that surface over the holiday weekend, there are some decent deals.
We've come across one sale in particular that could potentially make your day, depending on what you're looking for. The folks over at Zagg.com, the makers of the InvisibleShield, the Zagg Sparq, and other accessories, have just taken 50% off their entire inventory...
We've seen multiple iOS-controlled helicopters and other robotic accessories over the last few months. Apparently, using your iDevice to remotely control a bite-sized vehicle is becoming quite popular.
But even though the RC market is getting crowded, there is still tons of room for innovative products. Romotive proves that with Romo, the first iPhone/iPod touch-powered (and controlled) robot...Â
A few days ago we told you about one clever fellow who had found a way to create a 'Siri proxy,' allowing him to intercept Siri commands. This, in theory, makes Siri compatible with just about anything with an API, and the original proof of concept demonstrated Siri controlling a thermostat.
Now it seems that proof of concept has become something of an arms race, with likeminded individuals now making Siri connect with all manner of things, the latest being an automobile.
Using a Viper car system, an individual was able to instruct Siri to lock and unlock the car's doors, as well as start and stop the engine. Super cool, indeed...
According to Flickr's image upload data, a lot of people use their iPhone as their main camera. Not only is the iPhone 4 the most popular camera (not smartphone, camera) on the photo-sharing site, but Flickr's top 4 cameraphones are iPhones.
And the iPad, well, we all know how popular Apple's tablet is. USBFever might actually be onto something with its new cable accessory that connects the two products, allowing users to transfer photos from the iPhone to the iPad with little effort...
Not only does Apple make a fortune from its iPhones, iPads, and anything else with a lower-case "i," but it also spawned thousands of awesome accessories. The iPhone especially has seen some interesting accessories come its way, and "interesting" is probably the best way to describe this particular case.
Weighing in at $250 and sporting three rotatable lenses, the Lens Dial is perhaps more than a normal case, but it is also one of the more whacky.
The Lens Dial, carved from aircraft-grade aluminum, packs the three lenses shown in the picture, allowing photographic types to take all kinds of images using the iPhone's built-in shooter...
