i-Got-Control is a universal remote control designed for the Apple iPhone. Apple [AAPL] recently allowed the dock connector to be used by 3rd party applications and in doing this, it allowed the iPhone remote control to be built.

The i-Got-Control is a device that plugs in to the dock connector on the iPhone and allows users to control their TV, DVD, BluRay player and many other gadgets from the screen of their iPhone.

The application that is used with the dock connector comes with many devices programmed in. If yours isn’t one of them then a few simple taps on the screen and button pushes on the other remote control allows the software to quickly learn how to communicate with your HDTV for example. [Read more…]

Well, we have another few images of the Apple iPhone 4G that appear to have come from a third leak. Previous leaks included the Gizmodo leak last month and the Vietnamese leak a couple of days ago.

This model is also a 16GB model and like the Vietnamese model, lacks the screws either side of the 30 pin dock connector. The Gizmodo phone was believed to be an older prototype as it still contained the screws just like the iPhone 3G and 3GS have.

Not much information has been provided about this particular leak, and perhaps we are looking at the same iPhone 4G that was photographed in Vietnam this week. [Read more…]

After the huge leak over on Gizmodo about the Apple iPhone 4G, we are now seeing more pictures of what looks to be a slightly updated prototype model. When we say updated, we mean a couple of screws around the dock connector are not on this version captured by camera.

Other than that the phone appears to be a prototype due to the XXX stamp on the back although this model of the Apple iPhone 4G looks to have 16GB of storage.

The phone was captured on a Vietnamese website which we assume had close contacts with the factory where the iPhone 4G is being built for Apple [AAPL]. [Read more…]

Beta 3 of the latest iPhone OS 4.0 was released a couple of days ago which revealed a few new features not found previously. New features include a new iPod dock section that brings up basic controls in to the dock area. Also an orientation lock was found allowing you to prevent the iPhone screen from rotating when the phone changes orientation. The iPad has this function built in but uses a physical switch instead of a virtual button on-screen like the iPhone and iPod Touch devices.

A demonstration has been made that shows the new iPhone OS 4.0 in action along with the new features that Beta 3 brings to the phone. The OS was demonstrated on the iPhone 3GS due to the 3G and some iPod Touch models not allowing multitouch to function (unless jailbroke of course). [Read more…]

Apple [AAPL] has finally been granted a patent that basically protects the form factor of the iPhone 3G and 3GS. The patent number is D615083 that protects the shape of the iPhone preventing others from legally copying it.

Looking over the images found below we see that all features seem to be in place such as the volume control, silent switch, SIM card slot, headphone jack, ear speaker, microphone and loud speaker, dock connector etc… but for some reason the home button towards the bottom of the screen on ALL iPhone variations is not included.

Today, Apple [AAPL] announced iPhone OS 4 and along with that, the ability it brings to the iPhone 3GS to multitask. Note that we say iPhone 3GS as the older iPhone 3G and below will not support multitasking. Also OS 4 will work on the 3rd gen iPod Touch (ie, late 2009 models).

Another interesting step for Apple here is that they are delaying iPhone OS 4 for iPad owners till fall rather than when the rest of the Apple products will get it in the summer. We are not sure the reasons for this but if we find out, we’ll provide an update.

Before we mention all the new features of iPhone OS 4, we thought we’d also mention that 450,000 Apple iPads have shipped since it’s launch last week. That’s quite a success. [Read more…]

Google have launched the official Nexus One car dock that allows the Nexus One to be attached to the windscreen of a car. The unit it’s self costs $55 and is available over the the Google [GOOG] Phone store.

The dock (available here) allows you to position your Nexus One in either portrait or landscape mode in a similar way to how the TomTom docking station works for the iPhone, although this particular dock rotates on a flexible arm to position it better for the driver of the car.

Speakers are built in to the dock and allows the Nexus One to be used hands free while driving. When the Nexus One is inserted in to the dock, the menu systems automatically switch to the Car Home Application that has larger buttons and controls more relevant to a driving situation. [Read more…]

We don’t normally cover information about cars here at gadgetvenue, but for this new Apple iPhone app we thought it was worth a mention due to it being an in-car app for the iPhone.

The application is called Smartest and it’s a dock and application that integrates with your Smartcar. The application has been designed to be used in a car and thus, the icons are larger as well as the text larger and less clutter is to be found on the screen to avoid distracting the driver.

Functions include the ability to play your music over the cars internal radio. The application integrates with the music found on your iPhone and lets you browse through it to play it back in the car. It makes for a good music player. Another interesting application built in is internet radio that lets you stream music from radio stations around the globe to your iPhone and in turn, this is output to the speakers on the car.

DICE Electronics have introduced the G2 Cradle that’s specifically designed to hold either an iPod Touch or iPhone in a car. The G2 has a pass-through dock connector that allows the phone to be connected up in a car and pass signals on to other devices such as a car stereo, or screen for playing movies on.

The dock it’s self comes in a black and brushed aluminium design and also comes supplied with six different dock connectors making it compatible with various iPods as well as various iPhone versions in the first, second and third gen series. [Read more…]

There have been a few custom iPhone stands that have been built over the last few years ranging from a recycled CD iPhone stand to a Pencil iPhone stand.

The next on the list is an iPhone stand made of spoons and forks bent in to the shape of a stand. The forks and spoons are bent in a particular way to allow access to all buttons, controls and the screen including the iPhone dock connector underneath the phone.

It’s certainly a unique iPhone stand and although designed for the iPhone it’s not restricted to just carrying an iPhone. The creator will allow you to specify dimensions so that you can sit any other MP3, smartphone or video device in to the stand. [Read more…]
