Motorola DROID BIONIC incompatible with ATRIX Lapdock

Chris Davies, Sep 7th 2011 Discuss [20]

Bad news if you picked up a Laptop Dock for the Motorola ATRIX and hoped you could use it with the brand new DROID BIONIC: we can confirm that neither peripheral is interchangeable with the other smartphone. Although the original Laptop Dock and new BIONIC Lapdock are the same in theory - an 11.6-inch display, full keyboard and trackpad, to turn the Android smartphone into a notebook replacement - the change in dock design means that there's neither backward or forward compatibility.

iPad 2 Griffin DJ Cable and djay app by algoriddim Review [Video]

Chris Burns, Sep 5th 2011 Discuss [1]

You’ve heard the rumors, seen the videos, you may have even messed around with a DJ sort of app on an iPad before, but here it is – this is the real deal – here you go. What we’re looking at here is two bits of awesomeness, together combined to create one “it just works” sort of digital DJ situation. First there’s the djay app developed by algoriddim. This is an app that displays for you two tracks of music (or any sort of audio) that you can control with what everyone knows to be modern DJ controls. Equalize, mix, record, and play. And you can do it all with the hardware bit of this equation: the Griffin DJ Cable. Plug the cable into your iPad 2, start up the djay app, and you’ll be on your way to not just blasting out audio, but previewing it as you connect one of your two new ports into your pair of headphones, the other connected to your fabulous gigantic speakers.

Callet is part smartphone case and part wallet

Shane McGlaun, Sep 2nd 2011 Discuss [0]

I don't know why exactly, but I never lose my iPhone but I routinely misplace my wallet around the house. Mostly it's because the wife is bad to pile a bunch of crap on my wallet so I can't find the thing. The upside to misplacing a smartphone is that you can call the number and find the thing. The wallet on the other hand lies hidden until I dig through everything around the house and find it. Read The Full Story
