From the name, we can know that the device has three main function which are Play, Wake and Charge respectively. In case you are interested in it, we have got a pretty good at the features of the device which we would like to share with you.

Compared to other iPod/iPhone docks, the Xtreme Mac is a bit smaller. Equipped with dual 1.25 inch neodymium drivers, 4W RMS and a signal to noise ratio of 65db, the small speaker has a pretty big usage. To provide the convenience to customers, the homescreen display is designed for easy read. We have noticed a button on the front which can be used as play/pause button in music player mode. Apart from that, the device can be used to plugged the phone into the wall. To our surprise, the speed is twice as fast as plugging it into a USB. so if you choose this device, it is likely to satisfy you demand.

We found that the device can be purchased on the Xtreme Mac site at the price of $59.99. If you want to find a device which can be used as a speak, an alarm as well as charge, this one is a perfect combination with reasonable price.]]>

Have you ever had skateboard? I had one for a while. I guess every owner of skateboard has the same experience, gluing sandpaper-like sticker known as grip tape on the boaed to prevent it from slipping.

To our surprise, this technology has been applied to handsets currently. Those who are not used to the glass back of iPhone would cheer for this invention. From the picture in the right, you may complain about the aesthetic value of it. But when weigh over the risk of slipping your expensive iPhone on the ground, you may consider to try it on.

If you do not like the shape of the grip tape, you can always cut some laser off and make it yourself. Now it is available at the price of $5.]]>

I love travelling a lot. When I travel to a new place, I like to taste local delicacies, take photos and commuincate with local old people to have a better understanding of their way of living and the history of the place. Usually, I can learn a lot from such kind of communication. However, I often find something is still missing, and I just can not describe it.

Do you still remember the last time when you are looking up at the sky, counting the stars in a summer night with your family?

Do you still remember the last time when you are looking out of the window, laying your eyes on a green tree for a relax?

Do you still remember the last time when you are standing outside, waiting the snowy flower fall into your hands gently?

Aren’t they the moments of pure happiness in your life? Very relaxing, beautiful and memorable moments?

Are you tired of current hectic life and would very much love to have a break from it?

If your answer is yes, then you must not miss today’s article, then tell us how you feel in the comments. Now, we are going to give you a big surprise. You will soon refresh yourself and appreciate how the technology benefit you!

What will have such a great power? Well then, it is an app—Strange Rain app, whose primary function is to give its users a break from your busy life by displaying a mesmerizing scene of rain falling from the sky. You do not believe? Let me show you and leave yourself to comment.

Now, we are in the Strange Rain. My iPhone is acting as a skylight to enable me to look straight up as the rain drops fall down and hit the screen.

Then, I touch the screen and move my iPhone, see what? The rain drops changed their routes! They move in the same direction as I move my iPhone! Oh, wait, great things yet to come. I can hear the rain: tink, tink, tink, they can hitting my screen, aha.

This is not the end! It is more than a rain simulator. I can also play it in three modes.

  • A wordless mode that is just close to what I just finished above: displaying the rain drops falling from the sky and I can touch the screen, move my iPhone to affect their trajectory.
  • A whisper mode which is almost the same, but at some times, you can see rain-related words spelled out when you touch the screen.
  • A story mode where you can see a protagonist playing out a story, which are printed on screen in bits and pieces. The more you touc the screen, the more of the story you will learn as the rain continues to fall from the sky.

Isn’t it very interesting? But what makes it more amazing is that after each play of the haunting melody, airplanes will fly overhead, clouds will change formations, etc.

Personally, I am much attracted to it by merely hearing about it, but it is far more interesting to play with it yourself. I am sure, you will love it, playing the rain and relaxing yourself at the same time.

We would be more than happy to hear your comments after you experience it!]]>

When I first heard the news that Apple send out mandatory employee vacation blackout notices in view of its upcoming Verizon iPhone 4 lauch, I am rather surprised! It seems that a big storm is just around the corner; and Apple seems to be well prepared!

The Apple’s mandatory vacation blackout notices prohibiting its employees from taking vacation is like this:

1) Managers have vacation blackout dates from Feb 5th through Feb 18th.

2) During Feb 5th to Feb18th, employees can not go on vacation or have days off .

3) Extended hours will be required duiring that timeframe to accomodate the anticipated foot traffic increase in Apple Stores.

It is said that Verizon has been waiting for almost 4 years for the iPhone to come to its wireless network, which will come true in only a few weeks. But before that, the only carrier that a consumer in the USA can use is AT&T, who has been known for its shoddy service in some areas. So, very soon, maybe we can expect a competion between AT& T and Verizon. And who will benefit? Apple, AT&T, Verizon, or the consumer?]]>
