I just pledged for one of these. It looks amazing. I am not getting a colour one, just the jet black, and I feel, it is my duty to tell all society about this.
What started as a $100000 kickstarter project now has 3.5 million dollars backing and will ship come September 2012, all still with 28 days of pledging to go.
The watch isn’t touch screen like my MNML Lunatik but instead crazy functional. To the point where I just couldn’t speak, and it integrates with your iPhone (or Android, whichever your persuasion).
What’s that?, Your phone just sent an email that was important, via Blue tooth to your ‘Dick Tracy style’ awesome watch?
I just cannot get over this one. Yeah, I could go and buy Sony’s new Android watch for around the same price but this watch interacts with my phone.
It should be a goodie, I will do a full review when it ships come September. An remember there are still plenty of pledges left, so you should go and get one.
I like this app. It is simple and elegant, and has all the mod cons of a lot of other iPhone cameras, without the wanky ‘real camera look’ to put your off.
Don’t get me wrong I really do like and use the Procamera app, and well who could go past Hipstamatic, but this one just wins.
The pictures that I have taken with this app far out perform any other pic with iPhone.
Some samples taken from the website show exactly the great quality pictures that can be taken but it is more the interface that gets me in.
The simple and screen-wide view finder, has minimal information and the buttons are concise and tell you only what you need to know, it takes a little getting used to, but once you are aware of all the information at your gazing eyes reach, then you can just use it like a normal camera. It even lets you know what ISO that you are shooting at, and the distance (macro etc). Getting to used to the lock and slide action only took a few shots and then was abused by myself in exploiting the artificial light capture on different scenes.
The adjustments take a little practice to get good results but for professional camera peeps that know how to rock the D-SLR functions this should be a breeze, for me it was a case of using the sliders, saying oh..thats cool!, and then saving the picture. The app gives you the ability to adjust the last picture that you have taken, and then if you like the settings of adjustment that you have come up with you can save it.
The ability to be able to set your white balance then lock it to take a shot of another scene is magical, and the slider controlled adjustments can recreate most filters available on the app store at present, sans ticket tape label and funny glasses of course.
The app designed by Ben Syverson took two years for him to develop and refine it back to the minimal app it is. It is apparently based on the Hexar, which is a great camera I am told, that was simple and easy to use but still created beautiful photography.
There is also a web-based tool at Mattebox.net that allows you to mimic the adjustment found on the iPhone app. I like it all. I recommend it, but don’t for a minute be expecting speech caption bubbles, 1970s toy camera filter or clipart rabbit ears.
yeah that’s right, you never hear that any more, do you, such a shame. Who didn’t love a mix tape.
even Cds were a push. And they were only a push if you rocked cover art.
maybe I am a little late on the uptake but the kind folk over at Air Cassette have been kind enough to give us iPhoneophiles a little bit of our childhood back.
totally rock any cassette well almost any cassette not the one that you got back from you ex in the schism of ’88 and had to tear the label off because it had that bitch’s name all over it and to be honest it was probably the worst mix tape you have ever made anyone, and staying up late that thursday to do it really bummed out the next day which was Saturday anyhow
yeah, totally rock any cassette from you teen/youth years. It doesn’t even have that time your cousin yelled out in the recording when you had a blanket over yours and his boom boxes dubbing Poison’s “open up and say ahh” LP.
The only let down that I can see is that you can’t draw your favourite love scene or metal patriot on the outside, and include “like love hearts and kisses and hugs and stuff”.
This app is way up there. It just does everything to compliment the irony that no one really needs a smart phone, as we are all smart phones in person with each other, and in doing so becomes the perfect app for iPhone and whatever other platforms that it comes on which I choose not to recognise the existence of.
there is just so many to choose from, and even though I had my favourite brand (TDK gold) which I still fully believe that I believed sounded better this was probably more reliant on the type of blanket used to cover the dubbing tape players
Look. We all love how sexy the iPhone4/4s is. Siri voice or not. It looks beautiful and no wants to see it get wrecked right?
Well through following DNA11 art on face book and the web I was pointed in the direction of gelaskins.com
These skins for a lot of devices are just awesome. Designed by artists and uploaded by you, the skins come with free wallpaper to make your iPhone or device look as though it is capsulated in a beautiful design tech master piece.
There are just so many cool designs to choose from and even me, the resident ‘installation idiot’ they are easy to apply. That is one a of the best points. They are removable. Swappable. Exchangeable. Changeable.
This means during installation it doesn’t matter if you need to reposition. And believe me I did. But now installed for mr and mrs panda’s phones they look great.
Gelaskins also offer a free iPhone app downloadable from the app store to keep your wallpaper fresh. All for free.
The two wall papers/designs we got were these
Cable Cranes by Nanami Cowdroy
And
Tail Feathers by Tula Pink
Go and get some. They are really great. And less then 1mm thick. You cannot even feel the beautiful skin on your phone.
Well, with super quick UPS shipping from Blue Lounge I have already received some of my goodies from them .
As you would expect they are just awesome. All are complete life hacks and the price was quite competitive. Here are some pictures of the MiniDock in action
beautiful packaging.

looks good, but unfortunately two iPhones cannot be plugged in side by side in the conventional Australian power point. It also sits a little further out from the wall due to the alternative Australian Power supply.
but it still beats the crap out of hanging it on the bench via the messy cable.
I also purchased the Milo iPhone holder so I could integrate it into my work space. it is very handy especially for making video calls, and using the iPhone as a flip clock. It is a stylish addition to my work place.
This is just for cool value, it does get your iPhone off the desk and scratch free. All of these were pretty ok cost wise. Shipping was a bit steep but considering the price you pay the delivery was super fast, like super fast.
All of the products were made in the highest of quality and do not have any flaws. The product description was spot on, and I am extremely satisfied, now just to get my Bluelounge.com iPad2 kicks.
I would definitely look for future products from blue lounge
Well it is over. After three more
dropped calls, and a wait of 2.5hrs for a ’15 to 24 minute’ call
back I was finally put through to cancellations. I was put through
to a great employee, one vodafone should be very proud of. I
explained the following to this lady. I felt as though I had had
the terms of our contract violated. Vodafone had failed to
communicate the network upgrade to customers. Vodafone had failed
to communicate possible outages as a result of possible need for
network upgrades. Vodafone had failed to communicate when some
resolve may be found or when network upgrades may be finalized.
Vodafone had failed to reward customers for their patience, maybe
due to fact they are a greedy multinational company. Vodafone had
underestimated their consumers. The worst thing a company who
relies on consumers could do. Thank you for releasing me from my
contract. Respecting my need to leave your service to find another
one that is more reliable. I’m out. Thanks Vodafone, for a fucked
two months and a good resolve.
