Posted on 18 April 2008 by

iPhone Buzz first covered the Juice Pack for the iPhone way back in early December, and we have been waiting patiently for its arrival. Nearly six months later, I'm thrilled to report that it is finally here. Was the wait worth it? Heck yes! The package arrived directly from mophie earlier today, so I haven't had adequate time ... continued »

Apple patent widescreen head-mounted OLED display

Posted on 17 April 2008 by

Is there such a thing as too big a cellphone display?  Obviously yes, otherwise it might be too massive for your pocket; thing is, users are getting all too accustomed to the luxury of browsing the full internet on their iPhone, and soon you know they're going to be clamouring for more.  Perhaps that's why Apple has developed a new ... continued »

Case Mate Naked iPhone case: super-discrete protection

Posted on 15 April 2008 by

iPhone cases area mixed blessing: yes, they protect your precious handset from bumps and scratches, but they also tend to add bulk and detract from the appearance of the cellphone.  So Case Mate are asking for trouble if their so-called Naked iPhone Case doesn't live up to expectations.  From the pictures it certainly looks relatively low-profile, and the fact that ... continued »

Griffin ClearBoost iPhone Case Review

Posted on 10 April 2008 by

Last Friday we told you we were putting Griffin's contentious ClearBoost iPhone Case through its paces: Griffin's sales claim is that the ClearBoost's in-built copper antenna strip is enough to give you an extra bar or two of coverage when using AT&T's network.  Since then, iPhone Buzz has been hauling the case around various areas of great, middling and patchy coverage, trying ... continued »

You've probably read plenty of conflicting views about Griffin's ClearBoost iPhone case today.

Love that iPhone look but hating the on-screen keyboard?  Don't worry, you're not alone; Ruddy Ugarte was so fed up at smushing his fingers against the touchscreen and ending up with typo-filled emails that he came up with My Touch Keys, a transparent screen protector with cut-outs for the iPhone's QWERTY keyboard. continued »

iPhone is “simply sensational” – walking away with an iF design award

Posted on 14 March 2008 by

I agree the iPhone is simply sensational, while the Apple Bluetooth headset is a great example of minimal and functional design. However, if you've ever used the headset for even a few minutes in a loud or slightly windy environment, it's simply unusable. A Bluetooth headset without noise cancellation or wind guard is useless, no matter how pretty ... continued »

Naja King by ThoughOut Review

Posted on 14 March 2008 by

This isn’t the first ThoughtOut iPod/iPhone holder I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing, but the PED3, the last model I reviewed, definitely gave me far fewer problems. The idea behind this stand is great, but something about the “coil” causes the implementation to have some pretty serious problems, as a regular stand, but it more than makes up for it ... continued »

PosiMotion GPS for iPhone connects by WiFi not Bluetooth

Posted on 14 March 2008 by

While Apple's iPhone SDK will give far more official flexibility for third-party developers, there are still limitations on what functionality coders will be able to take advantage of. Not permitting background processes is one of the better known restrictions, but Apple has also said that third-party software will not be able to access the dock connector or Bluetooth either. ... continued »

Stands for the iPhone are typically pretty dull, they do their job fairly effectively but aren't always very aesthetically appealing. When you want to sit back and watch a video on your favorite gadget this stand will hold it either vertically or horizontally. continued »
