iBike Dash turns your iPhone or iPod touch into a cycling computer

Posted in: Apple, bike, iPhone, ipod touch, IpodTouch, Sports, Today's Chili
There’s not exactly any shortage of ways to mount your iPhone or iPod touch to your bike, but there’s decidedly fewer options that actually turn your iOS device into a full-fledged cycling computer that’s able to replace those from the likes of Garmin. This new iBike Dash device promises to do just that, though. It not only houses your device is a protective, waterproof shell, but it includes an ANT+ speed sensor and is compatible with other ANT+ devices so you can measure heart rate and cadence. It also has room for an extra rechargeable battery to extend your run time, and it naturally makes use of a free app that takes advantage of your iPhone’s GPS capabilities (no built-in GPS here to help out iPod touch users). Of course, all that means this one also costs considerably more than a simple bike mount — look for the basic model to set you back $199, while the deluxe package (including cadence and HR monitors along with an extra battery and charger) runs $329.

Posted in: ad, ads, Apple, att, commercial, iPhone, Today's Chili, verizon, Verizon Wireless, VerizonWireless, video, vzw
It looks like someone’s realized that simultaneous voice and web will not be enough to keep kids away from the Verizon iPhone. But where technical details fail to entice, perhaps a good deal will. Because, really, what’s better (or at least as good) as retaining your current customers? Well, if you ask AT&T it’s bringing in a slew of new ones by advertising that bargain-basement $49 iPhone 3GS (8GB). Feel free to check out the latest commercial after the break — as is usually the case, this one is a non-stop thrill ride.

Seagate’s GoFlex TV and FreeAgent Theater+ HD media players get iPhone, iPad and iPod remote control app

Posted in: app, Apple, AppStore, ios, ipad, iPhone, ipod touch, IpodTouch, remote, remote control, RemoteControl, Today's Chili

Too busy to fiddle with another remote while your iPod touch / iPad / iPhone is already cozily tucked between your arm and chest? Seagate hears you, and it’s just pushed out a new app that’ll transform its bundled remotes into fantastic doorstops for those that adore iOS. The TV Remote app enables any new iOS device to control the functions of Seagate’s GoFlex TV and FreeAgent Theater+ HD media players, and since it relies on WiFi, you need not worry over line-of-sight considerations. You’ll also be able to use iOS’ keyboard to input test into search fields on YouTube, Netflix and Pandora (just to name a few), and users will gain the ability to surf through entire media library (provided you’ve got an HDD connected to your media player) right on your iDevice. Hit the source link to get the download going, but make sure you update the firmware on your box before giving it a go.

Verizon iPhone hits the streets, fails to gather crowds (video)

Posted in: Apple, iPhone, launch, Today's Chili, verizon, Verizon Wireless, VerizonWireless, vzw

Verizon may have had its best sales day ever with the launch of the CDMA iPhone 4, but you wouldn’t be able to tell if you parked outside a retail store this morning. Reuters reports that the usual hordes didn’t show up for the Verizon iPhone launch — San Francisco and New York flagship Apple Store locations boasted as few as forty individuals in line — and that by afternoon today, the initial shipment of devices were still in stock. Of course, the device had already been on sale for several days — and face it, it’s just a CDMA iPhone 4 — but it’s not often we get to see spectacles like the one on video above, shot at the Mall of America store.

Mophie sneaks out new Juice Pack Air with Verizon and AT&T iPhone 4 compatibility

Posted in: Apple, case, cdma, iPhone, peripheral, Today's Chili

There’s been no shortage of cases for Verizon’s flavor of the iPhone 4 — Ballistic, iLuv, iKit, AGF and Scosche have already announced ones of their own — but if you’re looking for a mainstay in the industry, you can now turn to Mophie. The company’s life-doubling Juice Pack Air has been ever-so-slightly reengineered to work with both AT&T and Verizon iPhone 4 units, with initial shipments expected by the end of the month. At first it’ll ship in black with silver accents, while soft-touch red and glossy white versions are scheduled for release shortly thereafter. Still $79.95, and still awfully hard to resist for 3G power users.

Visualized: a hundred CDMA iPhone 4 handsets prepare for Best Buy assault

Posted in: Apple, BestBuy, iPhone, smartphone, Today's Chili, verizon

Too preoccupied to pre-order? Looks like Best Buy’s your best bet starting tomorrow morning. And don’t try anything sneaky — you know, like sneaking the whole lot into Israel.

[Thanks, J.]

Visualized: Verizon iPhone customer shipped a device in test mode

Posted in: Apple, iPhone, Today's Chili, verizon, Verizon Wireless, VerizonWireless, vzw

If these screens look vaguely familiar, that’s because they’re essentially the same ones Apple has been using to test the iPhone’s various components since day one. Problem is, this is apparently a production Verizon iPhone that was shipped out to an actual customer this week, which… well, let’s just put it this way: it’s not going to help you play Angry Birds any faster. They’ve tried to restore the phone using iTunes to no avail, so here’s the million-dollar question: collectible or worthless return? Hit the gallery for a couple more shots.

[Thanks, Alexei]

Verizon iPhone 4 now available to order / reserve for in-store pickup

Posted in: Apple, available, iPhone, on sale, OnSale, Today's Chili, verizon, vzw

Apple and Verizon’s long-awaited partnership is nearly upon us, folks, and the final piece to the puzzle is general availability of the hallowed iPhone 4. You’re now able to order or reserve your own at the online stores of both carrier and phone maker, though shipping dates for early orders are listed at a distant February 18th. We’d just reserve one and go down to our nearest physical outlet to pick it up tomorrow.

Google Translate for iPhone hits the App Store

Posted in: app, Google, ios, iPhone, IphoneApp, ipod touch, IpodTouch, Today's Chili
iPhone users have been able to use a mobile-optimized HTML5 version of Google Translate for some time now, but they can now finally also get an honest-to-goodness app of their own just like their Android-using friends. That brings with it a number of enhancements over the basic web app, including a speak-to-translate feature with support for 15 languages, the ability to listen to your translations in 23 different languages, and a full-screen mode that lets you show your translated text to others with large, easy-to-read text. Google is still keep a few features exclusive to the Android version, however, including the still-experimental conversation mode that allows for some on-the-fly translations — both apps are also still lacking a much-needed beatbox mode.
