Alereon to unveil new iPhone Wireless USB accessory at Computex

Posted in Mobile Accessories by Shane McGlaun on June 1st, 2009

iphone3g-sbWhen I first heard about Wireless USB, I was excited that I could ditch all the cables behind my computer and go cable free. Unfortunately, my dreams of no cables in my office have not yet come true. One of the biggest companies pushing Wireless USB is Alereon and the firm is announcing a new accessory for the iPhone this month at Computex.

The accessory does two things for the iPhone and iPod touch. First, the gadget apparently has an internal battery that allows the iPhone or iPod to operate longer than possible on the internal battery alone. The accessory is based on low-power 90nm-LP AL5301 chip built in the 12-inch wafer plant owned by Samsung in Korea.

LG Home Theater Combo awaits your iPod LG is making it easy for iPod owners to get into home theater with the LG HB954TBW Blu-ray 5.1 Home Theater Combo that features a unique slide-out iPod dock. It will accept all iPods, but we aren’t sure if it spits iPhones out or not.

We just think that pop out iPod tray is cool and keeps it all tucked away when not in use. It was introduced at CES 2009 and the system is selling in Korea and includes 5.1 speakers, amplification and a Blu-ray player. It will cost about a grand, which isn’t bad at all.

The Steampunk eye-PodClearly inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and created using the first generation iPod nano, this victorian eye-Pod by Doctor Grymm will have you doing a double take.
