I’m usually wedging my iPhone in the odd nook or cranny of my dashboard or center console to make my GPS map visible when on a trip. So far, I have refused to pay for the pricey car mounts that would provide a better hold and view of my iPhone.
Enter the $2 DIY mount.
Talk about simple and cheap. And, it’s totally adjustable for different cars and phones. Nice.
If only everyone acknowledged that this mount should be used for your iPhone’s (or whatever phone) GPS functionality. This is NOT for watching movies while in traffic.
This was one of the toys that I really wanted to see at CES 2010. Fortunately, I made it back to the You Rock Guitar booth and got to see the guitar close up. I’ll get right to the point – the You Rock Guitar is definitely more guitar than it is video game controller.
Sure, you can hook it up to your Xbox and play some Rock Band with it; however, you’ll still find it lacking as an in-game guitar. Basically, you just need to finger the right fret for the game and pick the string and you’ll get your note score in Rock Band. Is it an improvement over the button mashing fest? Yes. Have we arrived for music video games? Not quite. [click to continue…]
