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...
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...
When Apple introduced the Smart Cover for the iPad 2, everyone went nuts! "It's magical!" "What a genius design!" — Apple had made the coolest thing since sliced bread.
We recently showed you a concept for a 'Smart Keyboard' on the iPhone, and it got us thinking: Should the iPhone have its own Smart Cover, too?
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...
Remember that Atari-branded iPad arcade joystick peripheral we told you about yesterday? 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? Well, it turns out DVICE has played with the real thing, and all of a sudden, we're not quite as excited as we were yesterday!
You see, DVICE has answered some of our burning questions, and we don't like some of the answers...
These days, iPad cases are a dime a dozen. You can get them in all sorts of colors, styles, and materials; if you've seen one, you've seen them all.
But not so fast; a small company out of Brooklyn, New York is out to change this perception of the average ho-hum iPad case.
Introducing the iPad Book Jacket, a hand-made, customizable iPad case from the folks at Caseable. Visually, it's fully customizable, meaning you can put that "cute thing your cat did" on the cover if you're feeling particularly ridiculous...
If unique is what you're after, then you're going to love JackBacks.
If there's one downside to everyone and their grandmother being the proud owner of an iPhone 4 right now, it's that there's nothing really unique about the handset itself. Granted, some may have a fancy case, but other than that, all our iPhones look the same.
The JackBacks wooden iPhone 4 case is sure to set you apart from the rest of the boring, bumper-clad iPhone lovers out there...
In an update to the Atari's Greatest Hits iOS app, the evergreen gaming company has included support for an unannounced arcade stick. The "Atari Arcade -- Duo Powered" joystick will be offered to the public soon for insanely addictive gaming on iPads everywhere.
The app's description links to a web page that shows a photo of the mystery device, along with a short description which doesn't really tell us all that much. The picture is enough for us to know we need this thing in our lives...
We all love the iPhone 4's camera. The iPhone's success as a camera and HD video recorder has been widely observed, with the smartphone topping the chart of used cameras on Flickr.
The problem is that neither the iPad 2's front or rear-facing camera is very good. Yes, they both work for snapping a simple shot here and there, and the front-facing camera does a reasonable job for FaceTime, but that's about it. The iPad's shear size doesn't help its usefulness as a camera, either.
The iDevice accessory and app makers at Makayama have come up with an iPad 2 movie mount that, they claim, will improve the iPad's shot-taking prowess...
iPhone and iPod docking station/speaker combos are nothing new – they've been around forever and come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, with models to fit every budget. iHome has taken the tried and tested formula that we've all been using for so long, and added AirPlay to the mix to create the iHome iW1: an AirPlay-equipped wireless audio system.
Set to go on sale on September 26th, the iHome iW1 will retail for $300, according to Engadget...

As we've reported in the past, there are tons of leaked iPhone 5 cases out there. M.I.C. Gadget has reported that all kinds of alleged iPhone 5 cases are everywhere in China. It seems that more and more iPhone 5 parts and cases leak everyday, and they all point to a thinner design.
The iPhone 5 is expected to be "thin as an iPod Touch," which is a pretty bold statement. Could Apple really fit all those components in that thin of a package? Maybe...
