If the Iomega concept the new superhero ($70) is not initially full meaning for you, we understand: this new accessory is clearly started at a very specific, but potentially significant user base fraction total iPhone. Super Hero is a dock in plastic and metal with a total of three connectors: iPhone and iPod touch-ready Dock Connector at the top, a port of power to the rear and a SD Card slot next to the power port. Iomega packages wharf with a wall adapter, and a SD 4 GB card allowing users to iPhone 3 G, 3GS, 4 or fourth-generation plug in iPod touch, run a free application from Iomega super hero backup and automatically save their pictures and their contacts without using a computer. Once you have completed this backup, you can use superheroes to transfer to another device, or your first contacts and photos where it's been completely clean; unless you enable encryption, images can also be opened by any computer.

First looks: iKit AutoCon FM Transmitter + car charger

So we would like to congratulate last accessory iKit, the "FM Transmitter + Car Charger" AutoCon ($45), there is a certain problem not just prevents this so-called iPod, iPhone and device compatible iPad exactly what most people expect it. The good news is that the AutoCon is one of the most elegant that we have seen, FM transmitter with metallic blue fancy plugs connecting transmitter included black bright car bulb and your iPod, iPhone iPad. iKit has used a blue-backlit screen matching which he lend described as play/pause "Multi-Touch", indicating a number of large, bright, alongside the runway capacitive current radio station and call start and end of buttons which operate at the same time to control these features on the Apple devices. One side of the issuer includes tuning radio silver buttons and back has a hole microphone for iPhone hands free use. The bad news is that as the reference "Multi-Touch", "Car charger" request is not entirely reason. AutoCon cannot reload your handset and work as an FM transmitter at the same time: there is no dock connector, so the only thing he feeds is the FM - transmitter you must provide your own Apple USB charging cable (or a second charger and car power outlet) to feed the two elements simultaneously. In addition, button the screen lights out after a short period of inactivity, so you won't see them in a dark, car unless you play with the radio tuner to re-enable the. iKit has a pretty nice idea and designs on his hands here, but electronic execution could really use some rethinking.
