Hasta La Gadget!

This is the MoviePeg, and it’s the simplest gadget you’ll see this week, and possibly, like, ever. The MoviePeg is no more than a little plastic rectangle with a notch cut from one side. This notch matches the thickness and radius of your iPhone’s edge, and forms a snug stand.

We love it. You can use it as a kind of tripod to keep the iPhone completely vertical for photos, or prop the phone at almost any angle both in portrait and landscape mode, for watching movies, reading, turning the phone into an alarm clock, pretty much anything that doesn’t require laying the iPhone on its back.

Could you make your own? Sure, but at £5 (it’s made in the UK) or around $10 shipped to the US, why bother? I was filling out my credit card details before I remembered I don’t have an iPhone (seriously), so I hope an iPod Touch version comes soon.

Simple, effective and colorful. Did we mention the colors? Holy spectrum! I’ll take the pink one.
