Using the iPhone to remotely control cars and other vehicles was once limited to hackers and hobbyist. But ever since Parrot introduced the AR.Drone, we've seen several RC accessories hit the iOS scene.
It seems like remote control helicopters are all the rage with accessory-makers this Fall, but Orbotix has something else in mind. They want you to use your iDevice to control a Fushigi-looking robotic sphere...
It seems as though Case-Mate started a firestorm with its little publicity stunt yesterday. I call it that because whether its depiction of the iPhone 5 was accurate or not, I'm sure the company enjoyed the extra traffic.
The iPhone mockups in Case-Mate's photos looked an awful lot like the iPad 2, and some folks didn't like that. In fact, our very own Jeff wrote a piece about the images. But love 'em or hate 'em, the design can't be too far off. And here's why...
If the recent onslaught of iPhone 5 cases and other accessories haven't convinced you that Apple's new smartphone will feature a new design, maybe this will. 9to5Mac is reporting that Apple may be set to discontinue its infamous Bumper case.
The case originally debuted alongside the iPhone 4 last summer. And with earlier reports suggesting that the next iPhone will feature a similar design to its predecessor, it's a bit strange that the company is looking to drop the accessory...
There's nothing worse than leaving your iPhone somewhere, other than perhaps having it stolen. Kensington agrees with that sentiment, and has launched two new accessories that aim to help us keep our beloved iPhones by our side.
The two releases, while sporting somewhat cumbersome names, act as cases crossed with proximity alarms, letting users know when their iPhone is too far away...
Hot on the heels of the purported iPhone 5 screen protector surfacing this morning, BGR is reporting that more accessories have turned up in the next-generation iPhone department. Case-maker Case-Mate just unveiled 6 new iPhone 5 cases.
Sure, we've already seen several cases that are reportedly for Apple's next smartphone. But not from a company as well-known as Case-Mate. And the phone design depicted in the pictures is better looking than anything we've seen so far...
With an official announcement from Apple expected in the next few weeks, the tech world at large still doesn't have any firm knowledge of details regarding the iPhone 5. Tim Cook's team has done an excellent job of concealing their plans.
But outside of concrete information, there has been a lot of purported leaked parts and accessories that all point to a similar redesign. And this morning, another puzzle piece surfaced that appears to confirm the change...
Good news for the folks that just can't wait for Apple to embed projectors into their iDevices. Epson, the well known printer-making company, just entered the iOS accessory space with a new line of portable projectors.
As reported by Macworld, the new video projectors resemble home theatre-style projectors, with one notable difference — an iDevice dock. That means that you can watch movies stored on your iPad or iPhone on a 100+ inch display...
First you had Atari, and now another old-school gaming company is hoping to ride the waves of interest that the original iCade has mustered up.
Japanese video game developer and publisher, Taito — the same company behind the old school classic Space Invaders — has apparently seen enough; now it wants a share of the iPad peripheral pie...
If you're the kind of person who likes to play around in the snow, probably with a pair of skis or a snowboard, then chances are you're familiar with the problem of finding a way to listen to your music while flailing around in the white stuff. See, it's a bit cold out there, and taking your gloves off to skip a track or change the volume on your iPhone isn't that fun.
New gloves from Burton, manufacturer of snowboards and the like, aim to fix that little problem once and for all, by embedding iPod controls right into the fabric of some truly magical gloves...
There are good ideas in this world, and then there are bad ideas. Giving your $650 iPhone to a young child has to rank amongst one of the worst ideas we've heard of for a long while, but that's exactly what Fisher Price wants us to do. The toy company has created a handy-dandy little iPhone case for that exact purpose.
Dubbed the "Laugh and Learn Apptivity Case" and set to go on sale next month, the case protects your iPhone or iPod touch while a 6-36 month-old child does its best to eat it, drool on it, or do other generally bad things to it...
You'd be hard pressed to find another iPhone 4 case that tops id America's Gasket Case when it comes to uniqueness. I'd say it has a good shot of winning that competition by a landslide.
What about other, perhaps more important areas, like protection? Take a look at our full video review for the entire scoop. Plus, don't miss your opportunity to win your very own Gasket Case...
Accessories are one of the things that make the iPhone such a pleasure to use. Knowing millions upon millions of users have the exact same handset means accessory manufacturers are more than happy to come up with little toys and tools that work with the iPhone, something that isn't a trivial feat in the world of Android.
Jawbone is one accessory manufacturer that has taken the iPhone to heart, and their latest invention is a real doozy...
