The Tailgater Portable iPhone Sound System (I Want One NOW!)

Do a lot of tailgating? Or maybe you just like to spend time outdoors with a few friends (and maybe a couple drinks?). If this sounds like you, and you’ve got an iPhone or iPod Touch handy… have I got a treat for you! Called the ‘Tailgater Portable iPhone Sound System’, this single-unit sound system from ThinkGeek is a little slice of awesome. The all-in-one system features a dock that ‘fits most docking models’… I think it’d be fair to say the iPhone 3G, 3GS and 4G should all dock-up … Read more

Well, in some sort of weird, twisted, and geek-tacular tribute, the ‘Steve Jobs in Carbonite’ case replicates this scene with vivid detail. The … Read more

OS 1.0.1.1710 Drops for the BlackBerry PlayBook

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted any BlackBerry OS Update action, and with good reason. Either I’m simply not noticing the OS leaks and releases as much anymore, or the pace has slowed down. That said, ever since the PlayBook hit the scene, there’s a whole new group of BlackBerry tablet owners that are keeping their eye open for the latest and greatest OS for their new PlayBook… and guess what, a new OS (official) has dropped for RIM’s first ever tablet! OS 1.0.1.1710 is now readily available. … Read more

Edible Gummy iPhone Cases: When Real Food Just Won’t Do

Have you ever been tempted to take a nibble of your iPhone case? No, not even a little bite? I haven’t either. That’s why, when I came across the edible gummy iPhone cases over at ThinkGeek… I was left scratching my head. Filed under ‘why the *#@! would someone make that?’, these edible cases from Korea come in 8 delicious flavors. I can’t help but wonder how ‘delicious’ these things really are. Available flavors include: Kimchi (orange), Bubble Tea (pink), Fermented Apple (red), Garlic Cream (white), Bitter Flower (yellow), Chili … Read more
