Timex iPod Remote Control - The Ironman
January 5, 2008
The Ironman iControl is an iPod remote control which connects direct you various iPod’s and the iPhone (We assume the iPod Touch also). It allows you to control your iPod while running with out having to move your head to look at the iPod on your arm. It works by plugging in a small wireless device in to the iPod which then allows it to be controlled by the watch. Nice idea! It costs about $80 from Amazon.
Ironman iControl Compatibility:
* iPod 5th generation (video)
* iPod Nano 2nd generation (aluminium) 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB
* iPod 5th generation (video) 60GB and 80GB

iPhone Remote Control for the Home
December 21, 2007
Mainlobby is a cool device which allows you to control various items around your home. Controllable things include lighting, heating, TV and other video equipment, audio and anything else that you could probably think of. The Mainlobby system is a touch screen which sits on your wall and interfaces with all your equipment.
Now there appears to be a cool web interface which will allow your iPhone or Touch to integrate with Mainlobby and use the iPhone/Touch as a remote control. It works by using Mainlobby’s built in web server and Safari’s AJAX support.
With the iPhone and Touch having great touch screens I can see this particular item doing well for controlling your home from wherever you are.

This video shows a brief run down of what the iPod Touch can do with its browsing capabilities over to its nice multi touch screen.
iPhone as a Modem
September 18, 2007
The iPhone has impressed a lot of people since its launch. There are a ton of features which set the phone apart from others, such as a multi touch screen, incredible browser and iPod all bundled in to one device. Now, you are able to use the iPhone as a modem to get online by using a program called Tinyproxy. It allows you to surf the net on a MAC laptop at EDGE speeds which are not huge, but still acceptable. Some will wish it had 3G, but EDGE is ok for doing regular browsing on the internet. Also, if I am correct I believe data transfer on an iPhone is free which ultimately allows you to get online with your laptop for free. You can download Tinyproxy from here.

iPod Touch in Bits
September 17, 2007
I knew someone was going to do it, and that was iFixit who just took apart an iPod Touch. The series of pictures starts off with comparisons with the iPhone and they the dismantling gets going by removing the back panel, battery, main boards and what ever else is tucked inside the iPod touch. For a full set of images check out iFixit.
