I remember when I proposed to my fiancee almost a year ago. I was nowhere near as creative as Chad was by making this awesome geeky video.
Using the iPhone and iPhone apps only, Chad came up with this video that he managed to get played at his local movie theater, which happened to be the place where he and his fiancee Vy got their first dates. The video started playing and she apparently knew right away what was going on. The rest is history...
Ladies and gentlemen, please let me introduce you to the HiPhone 4G... A Chinese knockoff never looked that good! Starting at about $100, the HiPhone 4G is probably as close as you will get to an actual iPhone, while saving you a few hundred bucks in the process.
Wifi, dual SIM, TV, FM radio, dual camera, this thing is the real deal. Not only the hardware looks similar but they also replicated the iPhone iOS (in a much worse way though). Check out the pictures below...
Give your iPad a retro look with this Etch A Sketch iPad case.
But the Etch A Sketch® iPad case is more than just cool! It is specially designed to protect and enhance your iPad. Made of impact resistant plastic, the Etch A Sketch® iPad case will help protect your iPad. Rubber feet and a felt backing gently cradle your iPad inside the Etch A Sketch® case. Strategically placed windows throughout the Etch A Sketch® iPad case allow for easy use of all your iPad switches, ports, and buttons. And retractable kick stands allow you to either lay your iPad flat, or angle it for easy use of the iPad keyboard.
The sign says it all. I love the pun and I love that it is located in San Francisco.

Here is a must-have accessory for every iPad owner out there: the iArm.
Delta Technology presents the iArm, the forearm mount that gives you, well, an extra arm. Just 4.5 lbs and fully adjustable, the iArm lets you take your favorite gadget with you. And with the optional "multi-mount", you can secure up to three items at once. Attaches to tablet PCs, eReaders, remotes & more!
Yes, this is obviously a fake... but real. You can get the iArm box for $8. A great idea to fool a friend.

I was just tipped by iDB reader Plot66 about this application called Flip / Bubble Text which allows you to type uʍop ǝpısdn or in ⓑⓤⓑⓑⓛⓔ ⓛⓔⓣⓣⓔⓡⓢ, then easily copy the text to another app or post the text directly to Facebook and Twitter.
I posted an upside down tweet earlier today and many of you asked me how I did it so I figured I'd share the trick with you...
No doubt this was made by an Android geek. I think it's funny even though it's not too close to reality. Really with a jailbroken iPhone you can do pretty much what you want.
The full image is after the jump. Tell us what you think!
The guys over at VIPad have a picture of a giant iPad table, apparently at some electronics store. Can you imagine having that in your living room? That would go very well with the iPhone icons coasters ;)
Airports give us our funniest stories. People hauling every piece of garbage they own across the country with them often results in some hilarious revelations. Enter, Steve Jobs.
Gizmodo has a brief from a Bloomberg outlet that says that while Steve Jobs was getting his luggage at Kansai International Airport in Japan this July, security officials were forced to apprehend Jobs momentarily for having ninja throwing stars in his bags. It didn't stop there...
Forget those cheesy rumors about a Verizon iPhone! According to a person with proven knowledge of Apple's future product plans, Apple will soon release a new version of its popular iPhone. According to our informant who'd rather remain anonymous, the new iPhone will be called iPhone 5G.
The iPhone 5G will be coming to Virgin Mobile just after the holidays. Sources familiar with the matter at Virgin Mobile confirmed that not only the iPhone 5G will be available on America's smallest network, but it will also come in a white version, which I remind you still has to be made available for the iPhone 4...
Oh no they didn't dare. Tell me this is just a bad joke. This is a bad joke, right? No. Apprently not. Microsoft marketing department has so much money and so little creativity that they put up a funeral parade for Blackberry and iPhone in celebration of the launch of Windows Phone 7.
This is just the most pathetic attempt at generating buzz for a product. I seriously hope that someone got canned at MSFT for approving this desperate parade.
It can't be worse than that. Oh wait, yes it can! They also engaged in a Thriller dance.
We had already seen the iPhone bacon case before. Now comes the iPad bacon case. Just as yummy looking, and still completely fat free.
You can get this delicious case on Etsy for about 60 bucks. That ain't cheap.
