The Trip


TRIP is a Dutch design, a travel case small enough to be stored in the overhead compartment of a plane, yet big enough to create the highest amount of comfort. Comfort that starts with the possibility to easily transform the suitcase into a chair. Discover what it’s like to be able to relax and work in any situation, even in airports, subways, train stations and parks. The addition of a smart kangaroo compartment allows you to get to your laptop, papers and pencils with ease, without having to open the entire case. In addition, TRIP comes as a version with a custom integrated sound system: top quality speakers that enable you to listen to your own music in the comfort of your hotel room. And whenever you don’t want to use them, simply unplug them and remove them from the case.

Imagine taking the TRIP with you on a picnic: pick a sunny day, bring a good wine and some tasty food and put on your favorite tunes for a perfect afternoon! Even if your iPhone or BlackBerry runs out of power, you can charge it through the TRIP.

Leica or iPhone?

I just gasped: San-Francisco-based photographer Joey Celis produced a custom sticker for his iPhone, skinning it to look like a Leica M9.

“Sorry but I won’t be making these to sell,” writes Celis, who makes a living as a stock photographer. “It’s just a one-off for personal use.” Oh, what a mistake. If he won’t sell it, someone else will. I absolutely want one. #wishlisted

Retro TV iPad dock

Our 4 year Ella old watches her shows on our iPad, as we have no TV. So it comes to no rusprise that this Retro TV iPad dock made me chuckle. #wishlisted

Compass Mobile Stand

Compass by TwelveSouth is the iPad stand I have been wishing for. It is made out of gorgeous steel and is incredibly versatile: Used upright as an easel, Compass lets you view and interact with iPad in both portrait and landscape modes, even if you keep your iPad protected in the Apple case. Turn your iPad on its side, in landscape position, and Compass becomes the ultimate portable theater.

It is about the size of candy bar, requiring very little space in your backpack, computer bag or purse. Store it in the included soft travel sleeve, which matches the Apple iPad case, and you’re ready to roll.

Movie Peg

MoviePeg holds your iPhone and iPad so you don’t have to. I own the iPad MoviePeg and I give it two thumbs up!

Moshi Moshi


You’re all for minimal, sleek design and don’t like to hold up your cellphone up to your ear when on a call? This ergonomic Bluetooth handset by French designer David Turpin will make you look. When plugged into a mobile phone, user can keep talking while checking out a PDA’s email, the internet or calendars. Mac computers can also use it out-of-the box for Skype or other VIOP applications.

Oh, so pretty! Moshi Moshi MM03 Bluetooth Cellphone + VOIP Headset

Godzilla

Are you on Flickr and use the Tweetie 2 iPhone app? Then you might want to know about Godzilla. It let’s you skip the image services like twitpic or yfrog when tweeting. When you send a tweet from Tweetie 2, Godzilla uploads the image to your Flickr account. Excellent.

UPDATE: Works like a charm. First upload. YESSS!

MenuPad

I wonder what our upcoming CreativeMornings speaker Rolf Hiltl thinks of this idea of using iPads in a restaurant as the menu and to put in your order.

Felt iPad Case

I keep coming back to this iPad Felt Case and am tempted to hit the purachse button. I own the original Apple iPad Case and while it is superpractical I miss holding/handling the iPad sans case.

iBend – Brilliant iPhone Stand


There are a lot of iPhone stands out there, but what sold me on the iBend is the fact that it is ultra-thin and you can hide/store it in your iPhone case. YES! Wishlisted!

MoviePeg

Talking Carl

Ever since I discovered Talking Carl over at Ben Chestnut’s blog and introduced our almost 4 year old to him, she’s obsessed with Carl. It’s a silly, simple iPhone App that has provided our little Ella many many giggles.

Dr.Brendan

Back in June, I cracked my iPhone screen and all this time I just couldn’t get myself to pay $200 for a new glass. (Sorry, Apple)

A lovely lady at an AT&T store pointed me to Dr.Brendan, the iPhone Doc here in Manhattan. Last week, I finally managed to meet up with Brendan and watched him do surgery on my beloved iPhone. (We met up in a Hotel Lobby in the Meat Packing district, it felt like some sort of drug deal, ha!)

Brendan is a charming young guy, who kinda fell into this and is now making a living off fixing iPhones. My phone looks like new, works like a charm and it cost me a mere $70. Brendan does house-calls and meets you pretty much anywhere in the city. Does it get any more convenient? Nope.

I can’t recommend Brendan enough. I was disappointed though that he didn’t wear scrubs during the surgery. Ha!
