Protect your iPhone - Take #16 - iKit Exec Hip Holster

Andrea L — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 09:48:37 +0000

Summer is finally here. Now you have to find a way to carry around all the gadgets that normally are stored in your jacket’s big pockets.

If you don’t use a small bag, a holster can be a good idea to keep the iPhone (or even the iPod touch). And if you choose the iKit Exec Hip it’s even better.

It’s envelope-like shape is very nice, it’s kept close by two magnets underneath the flap and the front part, the material is very good, and it comes in two colors, silver and black.

A strong, very strong clip secures it to you jeans, so you will not be afraid of losing it.

But the greatest thing about this product is that it’s designed to be used regardless the case you’re rocking. A thin silicon case or a bulky CandyShell? Or even a naked phone? No problem!

Upload Your 3GS Videos Directly to Facebook

William S — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 05:02:23 +0000

I love the fact that you can upload videos to youtube directly from the new iPhone 3GS. If your like me though, you do not always want to upload to youtube. Today I was at a family BBQ and wanted to upload a video to my Facebook account. I thought that the update last night might have enabled video uploading, but I was wrong. I went on my sisters computer and found an APP called PixelPipe. PixelPipe allows you to upload any video or picture taken with your iPhone 3GS to multiple (a lot) of social networking sites. Some of the sites included are Facebook, Myspace, MobileMe, Twitter, along with many others. I do not normally do APP reviews, but I felt that I had to pass this APP along. Best part about the APP? It is FREE!

iPhone 3G S Video Test

Michael S — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 18:38:27 +0000

Apple’s new iPhone 3G S finally allows iPhone users to record video on their devices. Sporting a new, but only, 3MP camera, the 3G S actually records VGA video very nicely. At 30FPS video captured in landscape mode looks very nice and is quite watchable on youtube. Bellow is my video test showing the 3G S in action from indoors, to outdoors, and in between. Also interesting to note is that this video was uploading directly from the 3G S over AT&T’s 3G network. Capturing mobile video and uploading it to youtube has never been better.

My iPhone 3GS Purchasing Experience/Un-Boxing

William S — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 14:28:11 +0000

Today at 4 am, I drove down to my local Apple store located in NJ. I called the store the day before to make sure they were opening at 8 am, and to my surprise I was informed that they would be opening at 7 am instead. When I got to the mall the security guard told me that they were not letting anyone in until 5:30. Me and my girlfriend then went to the car, grabbed some chairs and waited in line with everyone else (I was number 6 in line). At 5:45 they opened the doors to the mall, we were then greeted by about 6 Apple employees which directed everyone who reserved their phone into one line, and anyone else who didn’t, into another line. While waiting in line there was an employee video taping everyone in line, another employee checking off names on the reserved list, and another handing out water. Then to our surprise the manager came out at about 6 am and told us that they were going to let us in the store in about 15 minutes, which was then followed by loud claps. At 6:30 I left the Apple store with my new iPhone 3GS in hand, the manager shook my hand and informed me that I was the first one to purchase the phone in their store.

This was my first time ever waiting in line for anything like this. Apple made this a very pleasurable experience, and I am glad I was able to be a part of it. The whole staff was great, clapping and cheering on the customers. I couldn’t have asked for it to go any smoother and quicker. Thank you to the Apple store in Short Hills NJ, you guys are awesome.

Why I'm Not Buying the iPhone 3GS

Here is why I am not going to get the new iPhone 3GS on Friday.

Review: Podium Revolution by Pivotal

Yemil A — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 18:13:30 +0000

So, Recently I received a Podium by Pivotal, which I’m sure most of you already know it’s a VERY luxurious, well to me, iPhone stand. Personally it does just what it advertises, It is the ULTIMATE iPhone experience. Let’s get a little bit into Hardware.

The hardware on the product is over all a 10/10.

Why? Because it is so nice and classy that I honestly can not get over it. I received the Platinum version because it was the one that matched my MacBook the most. And I love it, As you can probably tell by the name it’s made out of a shiny metal material that is as hard as a rock. The bottom has a rubber material made of 3M rubber. That keeps the product still on your desk, even with a fair amount of pressure pressed against it, that way your iPhone wont move neither will the stand. Something I loved about the product, which I didn’t know until I actually had the product was the fact that not only is it cool because it looks like an iMac stand, But it does almost the same as the iMac stand and by that I mean, you see the while in the middle? That’s to slide your charger thru there to keep the cables looking neat, which to me is a huge plus sign! Now, the holster that holds your phone up is good to. Not the best I’ve seen but it’s good, Why isn’t it the best? Because I’m not sure if it’s because this version is also made for iPhone 2G but it doesn’t hold the phone up with much force, I push down with a little bit of pressure and my phone is moving up and down, something that in my opinion I didn’t like much but it’s something I’m sure is not in ever model just in this one since it obviously is a bit bigger for the iPhone 2G, But other models are probably a bit tighter. Another thing I didn’t like about the hardware is the fact that the metal is a finger print magnet, Nothing a microfiber can’t fix, But whenever I try and take my phone out, I like to hold that part of the stand to take my phone out without causing it damage, and I always have to wipe my finger prints off. Which is again, something that’s probably because of it being the Platinum version, which in the other models is hopefully not as tormenting.

The product itself is a 9.5/10

Why a 9.5? Well hopefully you read the hardware overview, Where I listed the pros and cons. Those things are just all of my “cons” I think this model has that I didn’t like, which aren’t a big deal, because the product itself is INCREDIBLE, I love the classiness of the product, Instead of having your phone charging just laying on a table it looks NICE, plus all the things you can do with it, For example watch movies, use it as a game holder, and so much more! Even a iPhone camera tripod! It’s great, it has been so useful for the days I’ve had it. My only other comment is the price of the product, it’s a whopping $68.00 but for right now, the price is at a limited time offer of $48.00 which isn’t bad considering you truly do get what you pay for. A great iPhone stand, and like they say, the ultimate iPhone expirience, Well that’s all I have to say about this product. You guys should definitely check out they’re website, It’s very worth what you pay for this product, and hopefully you guys check them out. Leave your comments below if you own, Or are considering owning one of these. You can click any of the banners on this review to go to they’re site, and purchase or just look around.

Thank you guys so much for reading my review, There will be a video review but my camera, Which is a “Waterproof” Olympus Stylus Tough 6000, Decided to break by you guessed it, Getting put into water, How? I don’t know but I only got to record the first half of the review then I went to the pool, And just my luck camera broke. I will be getting a Flip Ultra HD, (YAY!) as soon as Best Buy pays me for my warranty and allows me to purchase a new camera, So stay tuned for that I will definitely post that here too.

Just Bought The New 13" Aluminum Macbook Pro (First Time Mac User)

Byron W — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 01:57:37 +0000

Today my new Macbook Pro arrived in the mail from Apple. This is my first Mac, so of course I’m not sure of everything the Leopard OS has to offer. I have figured out a lot in the past few hours sincemy unboxingand can definitely say that I am glad I made the choice to get the Macbook Pro as opposed to any other laptop. Luckily, I was smart enough to wait until after Apple’s WWDC event to buy my Macbook Pro. I am having fun learning my way around Leopard enjoying everything my new Macbook Pro has to offer.If you would like to see my unboxing video and get a first hand view of my experience with my new Macbook Pro make sure you check out my youtube channel and/or follow me on twitter.(I read in the FAQ’s that unboxing videos cannot be posted, so check out the link to my channel)Thanks.
