By Paul Fang on Friday, Feb 5th 2010 No Comments

Apple’s iPad has a kickstand lined up for it already, so HTC probably figured out why not take advantage of its HD2’s beautiful screen and has decided to make a battery-kickstand combination for it.

There's money to be made from earth-friendly gadgets, and there's an iPhone-owning audience out there crying out for extra juice in their smartphones, so trust Scosche to put the two together.  The Scosche solBAT II is, daft punctuation aside, a reasonably sensible solar-powered external battery, which comes with both a windshield mount and a universal carabineer for easy positioning.

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Feb 3rd 2010 1 Comment

By Paul Fang on Monday, Feb 1st 2010 No Comments

Nexus One Desktop Dock arrives: A2DP audio but no PC sync

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Jan 28th 2010 No Comments

nexus one desktop dockWe kept screaming for Nexus One accessories and now, finally, we have one.  Google have pushed their Nexus One Desktop Dock out of the door, and as expected it does more than merely charge your smartphone and keep it out of the dust and crumbs on your desk.  Dropping a Nexus One into the Desktop Dock automatically kick-starts the Clock app (with time, weather, alarms, photo slideshows and media playback), and there’s also an audio-out connector that allows you to hook the dock up to a speaker system and easily play music from your phone.
