iPhone 5′ish Likes Your Fingerprints

11:40 pm in Concept, Iphone by Long Tran

The iPhone5 concept by Zeki Ozek suggests using a fingerprint scanner instead of home button. You can assign your fingerprints for opening apps. Swipe your finger twice for background working apps and of course use your fingerprint for NFC payments and app store purchases. It looks similar to the iPhone 4 except squattier (sic) – cute chubby little thing. I’m 100% sure the real iPhone 5 won’t integrate any of these features but that brings up the question, why aren’t any of the major smartphone makers using biometric sensors?

Love Letter to Alan Li

11:53 pm in Gaming, Iphone by Radhika-Seth

Dear Alan,

Apple will love you for your Gaming Pod concept and gamers like me who can’t live without the iPhone for this very reason, will worship you. I hope you can refine it enough to make it a CKIE project. It looks fit enough to protect the device and work in sync with it. I look forward to enhancing my racing-game experience using this sexy contraption. Loads of love, YD.

CKIE Spotlight: Black Diamond

12:07 am in Iphone by Long Tran

This is no ordinary iPhone dock. The Black Diamond exudes a sense of richness and mystery. Think of it as 3D interactive mood lighting powered by a free iOS app. The dock itself is the receptacle. The magic happens when you slide in an iPhone/iPod Touch. A fantastical, dizzying array of colors wash across the gem-like surface of the sphere. It’s also a creative platform for developers. Using the Black Diamond as a vehicle, new apps using light can be created. The potential is there. $45 gets you one with free shipping.

There are few products I gush over but… I’m GUSHING. We MUST get this funding people! The supplied USB cable lets you keep your device docked and still sync to iTunes. There are multiple dynamic controls over the illumination effects and support for voice control is enabled. You can even assign specific colors to friends when they call and text. It acts as a great resonator for music playback and there’s even a progressive wake up function – the slow crescendo of light.

The people behind Black Diamond are almost there. They have the prototypes, they have the packaging. They just need people like you to back their project. $45 is pretty damn cheap considering it’s way more than a simple dock. If they get the funding, they’re even considering ways to further improve the utilitarian experience, e.g. a built-in amplifier.

iPhone Case Fight for Safe Sex

11:13 pm in Iphone by Long Tran

I’m an iPhone case whore. I promise fidelity to one case and two months later, I’m online looking for another. I know I know, I need help but I’m a man who likes options. At the moment, I’m feeling kind of cheeky and all giggly after seeing the justinCase – Condom/iPhone case. It’s ultra-slim leather textured case with a hidden compartment for a condom. Yea… play safe people.

Laser Cut and Special iPhone Dock

11:19 pm in Iphone by Radhika-Seth

The iPhone Pit Stop is not so much about innovation; I mean we have seen similar charging stations in the market. What makes the project stand out is its “demandufacture” philosophy and unique production. Place an order with Ponoko and they laser cut and ship a flat-pack unit right to ya. You need to punch out the parts from the Bamboo sheet and assemble it yourself. The process eliminates expensive tooling costs and packaging with the savings passed on to you. A very clever idea indeed!

Nickolas says that the manufacturing takes place at the nearest Ponoko facility to the end buyer, so that it gets shipped locally.

The iEveryting Stand

3:44 pm in Iphone, Ipod by Radhika-Seth

iMac – check; iPhone – check; iPad – check; iPod – check; looks like anything prefixed with an “i” has found its way to my desk and to organize them is thePolyply. Technically Andrew Kim should be calling it the iPoly, but never mind! The stand holds iEverything in a manner that makes it easy to charge and orient as secondary (and subsequent) displays. I love the way the keyboard can be teamed up with the iPad in the forefront and the iMac in the background.

This particular stand was constructed out of acrylate polymer (acrylic plastic), birch plywood & birch. It holds an iPad, iPod Classic, iPhone 4 and a stylus.
