If you haven’t heard of this dreadful device yet, the iTwinge is a full QWERTY keyboard that docks onto the bottom of your iPhone. However I’m still hoping that all the hype is just a bad joke.
Not only is this thing hulking and ugly, it would also block half of your screen rendering your iPhone useless for anything other than typing. The iTwinge also represents one way that Apple is under-serving its market in a very serious way.
Tord Boontje added a touch of class to this HP Mini 110 netbook by actually etching the design into the case. It adds an understated elegance and unique texture.
Netbooks are made to go with you everywhere, so it’s a medium that lends itself to customization. Plus it’s always cool to see great design merge with something that’s basically an every-day netbook.
This print-and-fold iPhone dock from DessineMoiUnObjet allows you to make a fully functional and well-designed stand for your phone for the price of some decent cardstock. It allows you to prop your iPhone facing up or to the side for playing media.

A researcher believes that ancient man might have used markers to navigate Stone Age Britain. The markers form triangles from markers found at ancient camps and other sites.

LG may have just inked a deal promising to release 13 new Windows Mobile phones in the next 16 months, but that didn’t stop the company from announcing its first Android smartphone this morning.
The phone features a 3-inch touch screen interface and a 4-row QWERTY keyboard. The only rub is that the phone is slated for release in Europe with no indication of when American consumers might get a chance to cop a GW620.
The Livio Radio connects to wifi to stream Pandora Radio into your home. It has very clean lines, a simple speaker and (almost) all the features you could want.
Buttons for voting songs up or down and allows you to skip to the next song are almost allow you to fine-tune your Pandora stream. A single knob allows you to control both the station and the volume.
So what’s missing?
I'm Dave and I like to share news about gadgets, gear, careers and design for a mobile world.
