Join Panasonic’s new digital photo frame has iPod/iPhone dock
Even though I am spending the rest of this week at CTIA Fall 2010 in San Francisco, I am getting the feeling that CEATEC in Japan is where it’s at this week.
Take this particular prototype of the MW-20, a digital picture frame that Panasonic put on display. Not only can the 9-inch frame display pictures via SD card or 2GB internal memory, but it also has an integrated iPod/iPhone dock.
So, if you want to get all your photos from your favorite iDevice, it is as easy as docking it. You can even use the frame’s internal stereo speakers to play your favorite tunes as well.

Sonos Wireless Dock ready to rock
Hmmm, audio streaming is catching on these days as the amount of content available gets more and more by the minute, not to mention the easy availability of hardware. After all, streaming audio from one room to another also helps save costs in a household, since you no longer need to purchase separate audio playback units or devices for individual rooms. Sonos knows this, and plans to leverage on such an idea in the form of the Sonos Wireless Dock, which otherwise goes by its model number WD100. This will function as an accessory to the award-winning Sonos Multi-Room Music System, letting you play all of your favorite music from an iPod or iPhone in every room of the house. Let us see what the Sonos Wireless Dock offers in the extended post.

TK-421 iPhone Case with Flip-Out Keyboard
If you happen to love your iPhone to bits, but still have problems getting used to the virtual keyboard, then perhaps, just perhaps, you might want to consider bringing home the TK-421 iPhone Case with Flip-Out Keyboard. This will certainly provide you with the best of both worlds, where the physical QWERTY keyboard would increase your productivity and make typing on the iPhone a whole lot easier, while offering some form of protection to your favorite smartphone simultaneously. Retailing for $49.99 a pop, you can choose from either iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 models, but unfortunately for those who have yet to place a pre-order, it is already out of stock at the moment. Well, if your boss gets you this for Christmas, you can be sure that he’s dropping a subtle hint for you to start replying emails the moment they are pushed to your inbox without complaining that you just don’t know how to use the virtual keyboard.

Nuu Mini Key for the iPhone
Some people love the iPhone in its entirety – except for one thing – the lack of a physical QWERTY keyboard. With the Nuu Mini Key, it is an accessory worth looking into if you’re one who wants to pick up a physical QWERTY keyboard for the iPhone. Making a debut at IFA 2010 in Berlin, the Nuu Mini Key protective case will not only double up as a solution for the iPhone 4’s reception issues but also doubles up as flip-out QWERTY keyboard. One can only assume that this will hook up to the iPhone’s dock connector which adds a considerable amount of bulk to the bottom of the case, but the benefits could very well be worth it. It has been stated that the keyboard includes a Bluetooth v2.0 class 2 and HID profile compliant Broadcom chip alongside an integrated rechargeable battery that will power the keyboard’s backlight so that the iPhone’s battery will not be under additional strain. Expect the Nuu Mini Key to hit the market sometime this Christmas for $69.

MiLi Power Projector for iPhone/iPod
Everyone knows that the iPhone isn’t exactly the most long lasting device in the market – after all, it does tend to run out of juice pretty fast if you use plenty of features and functions such as reading and replying email, surfing the Internet over 3G while listening to a variety of music on the go. There have been cases in the past that includes a built-in battery while offering protection – but the MiLi Power Projector for iPhone/iPod goes one up by offering a built-in projector. Yes, sir, you can project images and video from the iPod or iPhone up to 70-inches in size onto a suitable surface like a wall or screen, but the price to pay – £239.95, might be a wee bit steeper than what you’re used to. Of course, you can also dock it to your iPad, iPod touch, Blackberry and most other media players/phones if the need arises. The resolution is nothing to shout about though, at just 640 x 480 VGA with an LED bulb that lasts up to 20,000 hours.
