Two weeks ago I was able to convince my wife that I needed to purchase the new iPhone 3G since I cracked the screen of my old Windows Mobile HTC Tilt. So I ended up being one of those crazy people waiting for hours outside the Apple store. Now that I have my iPhone 3G I am completely iPhone iObsessed. So here are a couple of iPhone 3G accessories that I would like to have:
Griffin Elan Form Case with
EasyDock for iPhone 3G (Black)
Incase Protective Cover
for iPhone 3G
Both cases are getting great reviews at the Apple Store, but I think the InCase case might provide more protection. One thing I also need are screen protectors since I hate getting fingerprints on the screen:
And lastly, it would be nice to receive an iTunes gift card so I can buy some of those iPhone Apps:
The Rosco LitePad is a flat panel light source which consumes very little energy and produces very little heat. The soft light is perfect for video/film production lighting setups. What’s even better is that the 3×3 panel only costs around $80.
The 2nd generation iPhone - the iPhone 3G. Now with 3G speed, GPS and App Store. This is the hot ticket this summer coming to AT&T.
I just saw a commercial for the Garmin Nuvi 850 with voice-recognition. Very, very cool.
Simply speaking, nüvi 850 is one advanced navigator. It features speech recognition (SR), a widescreen display, preloaded maps, an FM transmitter and more. Like the rest of the wide nüvi 800-series, just speak a menu option and nüvi obeys your command.
This freaky thing is called the Litepanels Micro. It’s a state-of-the-art LED on-camera lighting system for videographers. What makes it awesome is that it’s small, compact and made of LED lights which emit very little heat and consume a low amount of power. This would be great for all my indie filmmaking needs.
- Over 10,000 movies and TV episodes instantly

- Pause, rewind or play anytime - just like a DVD
- Guaranteed to work with your TV
I just subscribed to Blockbuster’s Total Access program - but I might need to cancel that instantly and buy the Netflix Player by Roku instead. It’s 10,000 movies on demand with UNLIMITED streaming! The box is only $100 and you just need a Netflix subscription over $9.
UPDATE: Turns out that you don’t get blockbusters on day one release that you’d get from Apple TV and you don’t get Dolby Digital 5.1 surround, but for less than half the price of an Apple TV it’s still a very tempting offer!
The Casio Exilim EX-F1 is all the rage on the internet right now because of it’s incredible feature set:
• Slow-mo video shooting at 300, 600 and 1200 frames per second
• Fast-slow-fast shooting from 30fps to 300 and back to 30 — I call this the “she walked in the room” mode, because it’s what they do in cheesy 80s movies to indicate the protagonist’s love interest
• High-speed 6-megapixel shots at 60fps
• Strobe shooting of stills at 7 frames per second with standard flash; 60fps with LED flash
• Full-resolution still shooting while capturing HD video
• Fly-in and fly-out auto modes, which capture still shots at 60fps when the subject enter or exit the frame
So not only is it a great still camera, but it also has awesome HD camcorder abilities.
Sprint is touting the Samsung Instinct as an iPhone killer. The videos circulating the internet are pretty compelling. If it wasn’t for the imminent arrival of the 3G iPhone, I’d might consider switching to Sprint.
For those times when a camera phone is too slow, or not good enough, this ultra-compact, wifi-enabled, 9 megapixel Nikon Coolpix s52c seems like the perfect camera to have in your pocket.
Arriving in the US later this year is Korea’s Nury Tec THP2 2.4g Fitness Watch System. Not only is it a heart rate monitor, but also includes a GPS sensor and bodyfat scale. All components communicate over 2.4g RF to a USB receiver and feeds complete fitness data to your computer. I’ll be watching the reviews once the product launches to see if it performs as well as the Garmin Forerunner 305, Polar RS800G3 or even the Nike+ iPod sport kit - which is what I currently use for my triathlon training.
