A company called New Potato Technologies has created the iPhone dock pictured above. They call the product an “appcessory,” as it’s coupled with an app that detects Jackpot Slots iPhone Dock and runs the famous one-armed bandit on the device (iPhone or iPod Touch).
The app itself rocks realistic graphics and sounds, allowing users to compete in online tournaments with players from all around the world. If you play often, you could even win a trip to Las Vegas to show your “skills” in the real world. However, you’ll need to earn 50,000 credits in order to win.
Jackpot Slots iPhone Dock costs $39.99, while the accompanying app is available as a free download from the AppStore.
Love the whole “appcessory” idea and I’m looking forward to see more such products being released in the future. Previously we’ve seen some other appcessories like few other iPhone docks that turned Apple’s handset into an alarm clock, as well as Griffin’s iTrip FM Transmitter.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
