CES2013: Awesome Flash Drive for Apple Devices

by Shy Mukerjee

I know “flash drive” and “external storage” aren’t the most groundbreaking thing at CES, but this really is an awesome flash drive. Seriously.

It’s for Apple devices, and it can work with either 30 pin connectors OR the new lightning dock, so it’s already way more useful than lots of devices out there! On the other end is a USB, so it’s still a great way to transfer from your phone or iPad to a laptop, but it also lets you stream directly from the device! That means you can listen to music through your iPhone from the drive, or use Airplay to stream from the flash drive to your phone to a TV.

Still not sold? Watch the video to see it in action!

Gravitas Dock

 

Gravitas is the name of the new iPhone dock from Henge Docks, and it’s pretty appropriate: this thing is heavy. It really gives the dock a level of sophistication that matches the high-end design of iPhones and iPads.

And that’s the other best part: the same dock can be used for multiple devices, simply by swapping in different inserts. Watch the video to get the idea!

CES2013: iPhone 5 & Samsung Galaxy Charging Solutions from MyChargePower

by Shy Mukerjee

 

We talk a lot about charging solutions: it’s hard to ever have enough battery life. Especially if you’re like us, constantly shooting video and using bluetooth. And let’s not get into the battery life on the iPhone 5.

MyChargePower is coming out with a bunch of options for iPhone 5 users that will feature the new lightning connector (of course) but provide different amounts of juice, depending on your needs. We run through all the options! Check out the video above for an overview of the options, and the one below to see how they look close-up.
