Accessori iPhone: WoW-Keys tastiera/dock integrante
Parlando di accessori iPhone in molte occasioni abbiamo riportato tastiera bluetooth, accessori di varia natura come “estensioni” del device di cupertino, mai prima d’ora era stato creato un accessorio che prevedesse iPhone come un plus. In CompuExpert hanno creato WoW-Keys, una tastiera completa che non può totalmente essere definita un accessorio per iPhone ma che graze al melafonino si completa, inglobandolo in un apposito spazio.
Avete mai pensato di utilizzare il vostro iPhone come mouspad o tastierino numerico? CompuExpert sostiene che si può fare e lo fa concretamente con WoW-keys mostrando come un dispositivo touchscreen versatile come il telefono di cupertino possa essere utilizzato in maniera “alternativa”.
La tastiera WoW-keys permette mediante l’utilizzo di tasti dedicati l’abilitazione di diversi controlli direttamente dall’iPhone opportunamente posizione nel supporto: riproduttore musicale, mousepad, tastierino numerico sono solo alcune delle funzionalità compatibili con la WoW-keys, tastiera compatibile con Mac e Windows e ovviamente con iPhone dal momento che può essere utilizzata come imput per lo smartphone stesso.
Un gadget sicuramente carino, non forse necessario ma sono convinto che un sorriso e un pensierino lo strappa anche alla luce del prezzo ($99.00) e del fatto che una volta pluggato iPhone (o iPod) non solo viene ricaricato ma essendo la tastiera dotata di tutti i prvilegi di una dock station ha anche proprietà di sincronizzazione con iTunes. Informazioni addizionali e acquisto sul sito del produttore.

HBO Go hits iOS and Android, free for subscribers
Don't ditch that premium cable subscription just yet. The long-anticipated HBO Go app just hit the iOS App Store and Android Market, bringing original HBO series and a variety of blockbuster films to your mobile device. You'll need an HBO subscription with your cable provider to get past the login screen, but unlocking all that the service has to offer using our Verizon FiOS account took just a second, and we were off and running with Avatar less than a minute after launching the app. We'll have a full hands-on later today, but if you're an HBO subscriber with an iOS or Android slab, head over to your device's respective store to download the free app.
[Thanks, Jason]

IdeaPad S205 hits Lenovo webstore, starts at $499
The first of Lenovo's CES-announced S Series, the S205, sauntered into the computer manufacturer's online store this week, albeit lacking the 8GB DDR3 SDRAM option mentioned at its announcement. The base model sells for $499, sporting a 1.60Ghz dual-core AMD Fusion E-350 CPU, an 11.6-inch (1366 x 768 resolution) 16:9 widescreen panel, 3GB of DDR3 SDRAM, ATI Mobility Radeon 6310 graphics, and a 350GB HDD. Two higher cost configurations score an extra gig of RAM, an optional Bluetooth radio, and a 500GB or 750GB HDD. The lesser of the higher end models can be had for a $429 at LogicBuy until Wednesday, if you can live without Bluetooth (which man did for thousands of years, but you know what we mean).
[Thanks, Tim!]

Plex plays nice with your Honeycomb slate after app update
We've praised Plex in the past for delivering us box-free XMBC and for it's prodigious media streaming proficiency. Problem is, its app wasn't optimized for the Honeycomb OS and the upsized screen real estate of Android slates -- until now. With the updated code comes tablet-friendly layouts and fast-scrolling in all grid and list views so you can zip through your large local media library. It also includes direct play and internet streaming sans-transcoding (just like the recently revised iOS app) for sating those right now vid cravings. The improvements serve smaller Android devices as well, which makes the newly egalitarian app more enticing than ever before. Best of all, it's still only five bucks.
[Thanks, Andrew]

App review: Seamless for iOS and Mac (video)
If you're the kind of person who's always listening to music and wouldn't be caught dead headphone-less, pause that song for a quick second and check out Seamless. This lightweight app links your iPhone's Music player to iTunes on your Mac in a pretty clever -- not to mention Cupertino-esque -- fashion. The whole crux of it is the "transition," which simultaneously fades out a song on one end while bringing it to full blast on the other. All it takes to get started is a quick $1.99 download for your i-device and free Mac-centric companion app. Does it work as advertised, or is it really just a gimmick? Head past the break for a quick rundown of just how seamless this utility really is.
We gave Seamless a go, and for the most part it works as advertised. Once both devices are on the same wireless network, you add your Mac from the Seamless settings menu, and that's really all there is to it. You can start a song on either end and have it continue on the other -- the transition works perfectly both ways. All it takes to make the magic happen is a tap of the "Transition Music from / to Mac" button. One major limitation, however, is that the same track must be present both on the iPhone (duh) and on the corresponding Mac. We'd love some sort of reverse AirPlay solution that would let us play directly from iPhone to a Mac as our output, but for now this is the closest we'll get. Oh, and we should mention it's only available for Mac -- sorry PC users.
There's a definite cool factor to hearing a track fade out on one source while fading in on another, and since they're synced it doesn't sound janky or cheap. We still don't have that Continuous Client for messaging and networking we've been waiting for, but this could definitely be described as something similar for music. Seamless is certainly a cool concept and it behaves as described, but we just wish it had a more native implementation. Being able to hit a "transition" button from within the iPod app -- or better yet, in the iOS task switcher -- isn't that much of a stretch, and maybe Apple has something in the cards for iOS 5. Still, if you're a major music lover who just can't stand cutting songs short, you may want to head on over to the iTunes Store link below and experience it for yourself.

FCC opens floor for public comment on AT&T / T-Mobile deal
Since the world's engineers haven't yet come up with a way to read minds over the internet (or at all, last we checked), we're not sure what you think about the proposed marriage of T-Mobile to ATT. We're pretty sure you do have an opinion of some sort, though, and if you want it to be heard, now's the opportunity to let the Federal Communications Commission read your thoughtful, reasoned take on how a GSM monopoly in the United States might or might not work. (Speak now or forever hold your peace, in other words.) To comment, simply visit the source links below, where the FCC has some handy forms -- one for short comments, one for long comments (where you have to attach a PDF document) and one with the magic number of the related proceeding, which is 11-65. Let 'em know just how you'll be impacted if the deal goes through, for better or for worse.
[Thanks, Jeff]
