Charging concept plugs your phone directly into the wall

htc-charging.jpg

This is a really clever concept from Francois Rybarczyk, which changes the way we charge our mobile phones by taking any unnecessary cables out of the equation.

The phone would come with a special module, which can be left attached to the handset and plugged into the wall directly, or just plugged in on its own then transferred back to the phone later on so you can still use it while it's charging. Genius!

MoFone for iPhone

phone.jpg


At the annual gifting lounge extravaganza (this one sponsored by Live Loyal PR in celebration of the Golden Globes awards) we spotted the "MoFone," a retro handset with an insert for an iPhone. (There's no Bluetooth or even corded functionality here - it's just a holder.)

Designed by LA artist Morrisa Maltz as a piece of art, a buyer for Urban Outfitters happened to see them and now they're selling out.

Are they ridiculous? Yes, but that’s the idea. Many of the retro designs are over-sized and whimsical. All the phones are made by a community of artists which makes the $45 price tag a deal.

Christmas apps for kids: The Night Before Christmas

night-before-christmas.jpg

As much as we try to keep our gadgets away from our kids, most of the time we have to give in and let them play around with their favourite apps.

This Christmas there are lots of lovely apps available to keep the little ones amused, and we love classic 'The Night Before Christmas' story application, specially made for the iPad.

It's another interactive storybook app, which tells the classic Christmas story in a contemporary and quirky way. It's ideal for kids who are learning to read as you can read along with narration or have the story read out loud.

Although it's been made for children, we love the bright and festive illustrations ourselves too!

Available from iTunes for $1.99.

Christmas apps for kids: How the Grinch Stole Christmas

grinch-christmas.jpg

As much as we try to keep our gadgets away from our kids, most of the time we have to give in and let them play around with their favourite apps.

This Christmas there are lots of lovely apps available to keep the little ones amused, and we love the classic 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' interactive book, which works with your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

The app is specially made to help kids read by highlighting words, accompanying the story with professional narration, lots of audio, bright and colourful illustrations and a great deal of interactive features too.

It may not be a free app, but there are lots of great features alongside the brilliant Dr. Seuss story.

Available from iTunes for $3.99.

TK-421 iPhone keyboard case for mobile typing

phone-keyboard.jpg

We've seen plenty of portable bluetooth keyboards and keyboard cases for tablets and iPads, but this is the first we've come across for the iPhone.

The TK-421is actually a phone case, but it has a flip-out keyboard inside, which you can use for texting, emails and using your favourite apps.

If you're not content with the device's teeny touchscreen keyboard, this might be the perfect solution. However, be prepared for it to add a lot of bulkiness to your usual streamlined iPhone.

Available from Think Geek for $29.99.

air-casette.jpg

We love this iPhone app which allows you to play a retro tape on your phone! Information about the artist and the song is scribbled on the front of the casette too AND it spins realistically while it's playing.

Available from iTunes for $1.99.
