Apple
Apple has always been on the cutting edge of technology. The Apple II series were some of the first mass produced home computers. The Macintosh had more “ooooohhh” factor than any others. And in the last 10 years Apple paved the way for the smartphone and tablet revolution. As one of the largest companies in the world when they talk, people listen, including us. Check here for the latest news on everything this giant says or announces and the coolest accessories for Apple products.
iPhone Controlled Musical Mercedes SLS
Remember how Pierce Brosnan, in his role as 007 in Tomorrow Never Dies, where he drove a BMW 750iL with a Sony Ericsson handset? Well, you might not be as suave and debonair as the dashing super spy, but you too, can live out your fantasy of driving your dream car with a phone, too. I am referring to the $129.95 iPhone Controlled Musical Mercedes SLS here, but there is one major difference between your Mercedes SLS compared to Bond’s BMW 750iL. The latter’s ride is the real deal, and can actually ferry you (and three other lovely ladies around), while the iPhone Controlled Musical Mercedes SLS is pretty much a toy. Still, I guess this is where you exercise the power of your imagination to get the job done.
The iPhone Controlled Musical Mercedes SLS will also enable a smartphone’s personal soundtrack to accompany luxury grand tours, where a free app enables you to send the Mercedes SLS all over the floor (within range, that is) as music continues to play via the iPhone. Whenever the tiny ride stops, its gull wing doors will pop open and music will then be streamed to the car’s onboard speakers, how cool is that? The Mercedes SLS will also be able to move and flash its lights in tempo with the music in order to deliver a fully synchronized joyride. Motion-sensing accelerometers in the iPhone would enable one to accelerate forward or backward, while turning the car is as simple as tilting and panning your smartphone. Other interactive capabilities include the ability to illuminate the car’s turn signals, brake lights, headlamps, and interior light.

The Only Read And Write iPad Flash Drive
So, you have started to realize that you use your iPad a whole lot more than the notebook that the office loaned out to you for your productivity needs on the go, and with that, you might want to take note that sometimes, carrying around large sized files on a USB flash drive and transferring them to your notebook might be too much of a hassle, especially when your notebook does not come with a SSD and takes like forever to boot up. How about transferring those files to your iPad instead? That is made possible with the $169.95 The Only Read And Write iPad Flash Drive, where this is touted to be one of its kind where flash drives are concerned.
It will plug into a Mac or PC’s USB port, and is capable of carrying up to 16GB worth of files, be they documents, photos, videos, or music, before being hooked up to an iPad or iPhone. This would pave the way for a direct transfer of files to your iOS-powered tablet or smartphone, and it even comes with a free app that allows you to make a back up of your contacts or save email documents that are no larger than 10MB in size directly from the app itself. The Only Read And Write iPad Flash Drive can accommodate more than 35 file formats including Microsoft Word and Excel documents, PDFs, JPGs, MP4, and MP3.
Plair – Beaming to a TV near You
I have quite a few cameras. That being said I usually don’t have one with me when those magical moments happens, but since the advent of the Smartphone (and their enhanced picture capabilities) I very rarely miss a shot anymore. Of course now, all the pics and videos are on my phone which leads to that annoying “hand around the phone before the pic disappears” ritual that takes place at 1000′s of tables every day.

V-Moda delivers Metallo smartphone case
I am quite sure that many of us have heard the name of V-Moda before, and this time around, they have unveiled yet another smartphone case for the masses, although it will concentrate more on the high end models. I am referring to the new Metallo designer cases from V-Moda that will cater for the Samsung Galaxy S3 and iPhone 5, where each Metallo case’s main reason of existence is to defend your smartphone without compromising on style, while offering a perfect balance of solid tactile feel and lightweight portability. Sounds like a dream, doesn’t it?

iRing Stylus – Say I Do!
Almost everything we have these days has a touch screen! My iPhone, tablets, Pods and Pads, they all rely on my fingertips to do the walking. Unfortunately, I also have cold dry little fingers that don’t always seem to work so well with these screens (am I the only one thats had to dampen my fingers and then heat them on my pant leg to get things “swiped”?) Please just say no… anyway, I also don’t always rock that much accuracy, so I guess that makes me a good candidate for a stylus, but I’d probably lose it, so I have simply been suffering in silence.

Forget your Keys? Use Your Smartphone!
Sure, its happened to me more than once. I lost my house keys, left them in the wrong car, or forgot to give them to my mother who was stopping over to feed the dog. It’s a simple thing, and I should have just taken the time to have extra keys made, or hidden one under the doormat, but in this day and age I’m not sure anyone does that anymore.
