First look at new iPhone 3G
May 30, 2009
Here’s a first look at the new iPhone 3G (left) compared to the previous model. The main differences are its matte casing and back-lit Apple logo. Plus, it looks slightly thinner, but that may just be wishful thinking.
I don’t know if this is going to be its final appearance, but I certainly hope it is. In fact, if it’s real I wish that’s some kind of black rubber.
Pioneer Offers “Works with iPhone” A/V Receivers
May 29, 2009
I have several iPod accessories around the house and each time I dock my iPhone I get that wonderful “this accessory is not iPod compatible” message. That little message means you can’t place calls while the iPhone is docked in the accessory, but I assume calls will still come in. I haven’t had that happen yet.
Pioneer has announced a new A/V receiver series that are certified to work with the iPhone and iPod touch. The receiver models include the VSX-819AH, VSX-919AH, and VSX-1019AH receivers. Users can plug their iPhone or iPod into the receivers and use the full-color GUI to browse album art and control music playback from across the room with the A/V receiver remote.
iPhone Light Dimmer Switch
November 13, 2008
Lutron, the company who rolled out the magical dimmer switch all the way back in the 1960s has proved that they are able to move on with the times, showing off a new lighting system that takes advantage of your iPhone or iPod Touch, allowing you to take full control of lights in the home.
The lamps will have to be fitted with Luton’s wireless modules prior to that of course. You are required to fork out for the wireless modules but the application itself is free. You as a user, don’t you wish it was the other way round instead?
Vuzix AV310 & AV230XL
November 13, 2008
Vuzix is a well known name when it comes to video eyewear, and this time they have made inroads into Europe with two new releases – the AV310 and the AV230XL.Both are worn just like a pair of glasses, and for obvious reasons, should be used only when you’re seated at home.
It is the first video headset of its kind that boasts a full 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, with the AV310 offering the equivalent of a 52″ display while the AV230XL offers a much smaller 44″ display experience when worn.
