Back in the day before smartphones and tablets, kids used to play with LEGO to the point where even in our late twenties and early thirties, playing with LEGO is still an enjoyable past time. Well if you have some loose LEGO pieces lying around, LEGO and Belkin have announced a partnership in which the toy maker and case manufacturer have created an official LEGO iPhone 5 case. Given that this is an official LEGO product, it means that it will be compatible with other LEGO pieces you might have lying around the house, thus allowing you to customize your iPhone 5 casing in a rather unique way. Granted the end result could be rather bulky and impractical, but at the same time we’re pretty sure no one else has your design.
The case has been described as being made of a “co-molded hard plastic back for scratch-resistance with a semi-flexible outer frame for shock-absorption” and will set you back $39.99. For those interested you can hit up Belkin’s websiteif you’d like to get your hands on it, or if you’d like to see some of the example cases that have been built with it, hit up Belkin’s Facebook page for some photos!

BlackBerry landing page prematurely declares ‘BBM for Android and iPhone is here’
Posted in: Today's Chili
BlackBerry’s messaging tool doesn’t appear to be live for Android and iOS just yet, but if this new landing page is any indication, the service is just about ready to launch. A new dedicated page with the banner “BBM for Android and iPhone is here,” appeared under the company’s Canadian domain this morning, along with an inactive link to download BBM for Android and another for iPhone. Further down the page are references to additional features that won’t be included at launch, such as BBM Voice, BBM Video and screen sharing features, which instead are expected this fall. The page has since been removed, but it may reappear any minute/hour/day now at the source link below.

There’s a bit of insight flowing this week on when the next iPhone will be released, coming from a set of documents shared by T-Mobile USA employees on when they’ve got a call to work without question. These are “blackout dates” and they’ve been shared with TMOnews, and though they do include a “subject to […]

In the past we have come across a variety of chargers that allow you to harness the energy from a moving bicycle to charge your mobile device, and if you’re in the market for something similar, the Ecoxpower might be something worth taking a look at. It works pretty much the same way as the previous chargers and it will attach to the front wheel of your bicycle, and through your pedaling efforts, it will not only power the headlight that comes attached to the charger, but your phone at the same time!
We doubt you will be able to achieve a full charge just by cycling around the block, but if you wanted to maintain your battery levels, or perhaps prevent it from going down too much while you listen to music or use the GPS on your phone, especially if you plan to cycle a pretty long route, perhaps the Ecoxpower might be able to do the trick. According to the product’s description, it will take about 1.5 hours for a full charge, assuming the cyclist maintains an average speed of 12mph on a bicycle with a 26” wheel. It is priced at $130 and will be available for purchase via Fancy’s website. So, any takers?

The team behind Apple’s acquisitions appear to have picked up another company this week, here with the brand AlgoTrim – a company that makes a mission of compressing data for mobile devices – and perhaps for iOS sooner than later. While the company has been mainly working in Android device software codec for the past […]

There’s no shortage of mobile concierge services, but even the wealthy may balk at paying steep fees (or buying exotic phones) solely for entertainment advice. Thankfully, Lime & Tonic has just brought its more accessible luxury recommendation engine to the iPhone. The mobile app automatically suggests up to two premium (and sometimes exclusive) activities per day based on far more refined criteria than a typical point-of-interest app. It can recommend only those posh restaurants that cook your steak rare, for example. More importantly, it’s relatively cheap to try — signing up is free, and discounts are common. Lime & Tonic’s service is currently limited to Amsterdam, Dubai, London, Melbourne, Prague, Rio de Janeiro and Sydney, although geography is likely no obstacle to the company’s well-to-do customers. Besides, it could be the perfect showcase app for that future gold iPhone.
