Toys for your iPhone and iPad

Today I am going to share on some new gadgets that were just announced and are up for pre-order. First up is a new iPhone pico projector named Pop Video!

At the price of $99USD, you get a pico projector which you can carry around in your pocket. It boasts 2 hour of playtime battery life, with 15 lumens of brightness at half an inch thick with a video output of qHD (960 x 540 resolution) All in all, seems like a pretty good deal to me, considering you can bring it around with you. Though of course at 15 lumens, you are not going to get much mileage from it during the daytime so it will be pretty much an indoor/night tool.

Interested? You can make a pre-order at their website, or check out for more info in their video below.



Next up is the Logitech Solar Keyboard Folio! At a pre-order price of $130USD, you get a bluetooth keyboard case for your iPad which can be charged by solar energy, with a crazy battery boast of 2 years usage for the keyboard when it is full charge, even in total darkness. (Though i would wonder if you actually get such a thing would you even use it beyond 2 years LOL.)

Of course, even though you will not need it a 2 year battery lifespan, you will at least not have to worry at all about the battery life for the keyboard. It closes up nicely when not in use, with a magnetic case for the automatic sleep/wake function.

And of course, they have apparently though through it pretty well. by providing the case with 2 different view forms, though only for landscape. The first is your typical work form, where you can type as you do your stuff like a laptop, while the other form is abit lower, meant for movie viewing. When I say they have thought it through, its because they have apparently maintained access to the first row of the keyboard, which supposedly will provide access to standard controls such as play, pause and volume changes. If you think this is the perfect case for your needs, make your pre-orders at Logitech's website here.

Just take note that both of these products above are for pre-orders, so I don't have full info on shipping, especially to Singapore. If somehow any of the products above only ship to USA, you will need vPOST to ship them to you.

Speaking about toys for your iPhone, remember Pebble? They have just confirmed a partnership with popular fitness app, RunKeeper which boasts over 10 million users and are still actively looking for more app developers to join up with them. With RunKeeper, you will get to track your workout data directly by looking at your watch rather then having to take out your iPhone. Considering that they have already pre-sold over 50,000 Pebble watches and already have a funding base of 8 cool million dollars, Im sure more developers will be coming into the picture soon. You have 2 weeks left to sign up people! At the rate it is going, I think Pebble will end up with 10 million dollars funding once these 2 weeks are up, which is OMGBBQ loads of cash!
