Awesome Apple

It’s about time: Blackberry Desktop Manager brings USB/Wi-Fi syncing to Mac apps including iCal, Address Book and Entourage, along with music and playlists via iTunes.

Apple turns into a pumpkin this year with Throwboy’s new Halloween Finder Pillows; each measures 9″x11″ with Spooker, Finderstein, Mac-o’-lantern, and Macula styles.

Fatty Spins gets personal with an MBP with Love At The Apple Store; it was recorded at the 5th Avenue location and true to New York, nobody around him seems to notice.

Available for preorder: Dots’ D200 gloves keep your hands warm while letting you use your iPhone with three conductive dots; it sports a fleece lining, nylon shell and grippy microfiber palm.

Use it with your iPhone Stencil Kit: Notepod seems pricey at $18 for 300 sheets, but the iPhone form factor and the thick 80gsm laser stock ensure this’ll be a noteworthy investment.

Made out of solid wood and bamboo with a UV and moisture-resistant clear-coat, Vers’ iPhone/iPod cases obscure most of the screen but are easily removed with a quick eject detail.

Apple fans are often criticized for living in a reality distortion field, but these edited (but unrepeated) clips of Jobs and gang at the recent 9/9/09 keynote make its source clear: Cupertino.

Kevin Tong’s iSteamPhone gets a follow-up with this iSteamMac tee; it’s a steampunk rendition of the legendary 1984 Macintosh 128K, complete with DaVinci-style annotations.

CollegeHumor takes the Jobsian juggernaut to its logical extremes with The Apple “i”, a marriage of marketing, materials and geek machismo that firmly puts form over function.

Most of 9/9/09’s fanfare focused on the video cam-packin’ Nano, but there was no missing their special edition Shuffle: it’s finished in stainless steel and only available in Apple stores.

Alright, so the name could use some work unless you fancy a perm, but the PowerCurl is a potential godsend for MacBook owners; it’s a clip-on cord wrap for MagSafe Adapters.

Apple’s iPod Nano 5G may look like the 4G, but it’s a brand new beast with a cheaper price tag, a larger 2.2″ display, 640×480 video camera, pedometer, FM radio, mic and speaker.

Beyond the Nano, Apple’s other 9/9 news: iPod Touch gets up to 64 GB and Open GL, Classic gets 160 GB, Shuffle gets new colors, iTunes store gets tweaked and iPhone OS goes up to 3.1.

Designed for classrooms to maintain direct sight lines to the teacher, the MacTable is a semi-recessed desk which will hold 20″-24″ iMacs with curves that mimic Apple’s own aesthetics.

Oh witty wordplay, how we love thee: little did we know Apple’s new product wasn’t a tablet, but a Swiss Army version of the iMac: the iMac Gyver slices, dices and makes julienne fries.

Sangean’s Radio and iPod Player features a watertight compartment for your iPod and can survive up to a 5 foot drop, making it ideal for rough and tumble worksites and environments.

Minimize desk clutter with the BackPack; it’s an adjustable shelf that piggybacks on the desk stand of iMacs and Apple Cinema Displays and holds everything from USB hubs to a Mac mini.

A royal flush is the last thing you’d want to do to your precious iPhone, but this deck of Playing Cards only looks like Steve Job’s pride and joy; they’re made with washable PVC plastic.

Taito’s Space Invaders: Infinity Gene is coming soon to the iPhone/iPod Touch; the retro shooter actually evolves as you play it, thanks to an Evolutionary Tree system.

iLuv’s iA15 adapter lets iPhone and iPod owners use their own headphones; it’s an in-line remote with built-in mic, VoiceOver support for shuffle and Voice Control for iPhone 3GS.

Klipsch throws its hat into the i-Ring with its S4i in-ear headphones, which include a mic and remote; like Apple’s own earphones, it’ll be compatible with the iPhone 3GS and Shuffle.

Perfect for gettin’ an impromptu groove on, FingerBeat is a full-featured iPhone app with pitch keyboard, step sequencer, instant sampler, multi-touch mixer and voice recording.

Dion Briggs takes a slight break from his exploded tees with the Mac Poster Trilogy; it features one lithograph and two screenprints that should leave Apple fans peachy keen.
