Griffin Technology has some cool products, but this “Light Marker” that it partnered with Crayola to make look awesome, however it is mostly a children-targeted product. This product, when I first watched the above video, made me think of Samsung’s S-Pen, which can be used while hovering above the screen, and not actually touching it. I can see why this…
I think I’m right in saying that Philips’ Hue lightbulbs were one of the most exciting accessories to be launched last year, allowing you to control every aspect of your house’s lights using you iPhone. However, the support we’ve been seeing from the app world for the bulbs has been pretty poor, with not many developers catering for those who love the…
If you hadn’t heard, here in the US there is currently a hurricane hitting the Northeast region of the country, including the New York area. This storm has caused cities such as New York City even to close down its public transportation to help protect the well-being of both its workers and its citizens. Well due to the storm, YouTube partnered with the…
TiP Daily October 16, 2012: Apple has finally sent out invitations for an October 23rd media event where it’s rumored the company will announce the iPad mini, an analyst claims T-Mobile will be selling an iPhone by 2013, and more! – iPad mini event invites: http://tinyurl.com/9kejquv – iPod touch lacks light sensor: http://tinyurl.com/8qnrt4w -…
Yesterday we talked about the ambient light sensor, or lack thereof, in the newest iPod touch. Put simply, there isn’t one. While this may not be the biggest news for iPod touch users, it did raise the question, why would Apple take it out? The iPod touch’s 5th version was given a new 5MP camera, an LED flash, a new design with colored back plates and…
A couple of different outlets have confirmed that Apple’s new iPod touch doesn’t have an ambient light sensor. This means no auto-brightness, which is a feature iOS users have been accustomed to on every device since the platform’s launch. I found this out the hard way. Typically, I keep my device brightness at low levels while indoors but still use…
As I’m sure many of you have heard the rumors that T-Mobile was going to be dropping the words “Apple” and “iPhone” from their “Unlimited & Unlocked” program. However, despite that development they are continuing on as planned for the program, announcing today that its network in Kansas City has been improved to offer better speed for…
Now that the iPhone 5 is out, a lot of companies have been updating their case lineup to fit Cupertino’s new device. I have always personally been a Speck person (see my review of the Speck FabShell), but when I saw this Incipio case I had to give it a try. I received this case a few days ago, and immediately changed it so I could give it a full weekend and…
A new 3rd party USB cord is out with something I find pretty neat. If you have a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, you know that the MagSafe charger has an LED indicator on it that turns orange or green depending on what the charge of the device is. Well, Aleratec, a 3rd party accessory company, has come out with a custom 30-pin connector for the iPad and…
It seems almost like there is a race to get light-controlling applications and services for iOS. Just this past week we wrote about how Lextar was awaiting certification from Apple for it’s own LED based lighting controls for iOS, and now it looks like INSTEON has got their own idea out and ready. The bulb is a part of their SmartHome range, and comes with…
