Here’s the first in my series of blog posts on new and upcoming accessories in the world of tech which we cast our eyes over at Gadget Show Live this week!
The first stall that drew our attention at was for PODSTA UK, who had a bright array of rather funky-looking universal mobile phone desk stands compatible with most devices! Here’s a pic we took:
The PODSTA launched last week in a range of colours, and is compatible with most smartphones and devices of a similar size – with a larger PODSTA iPad/ iPad 2 stand apparently on its way soon.
What we liked
- Small and portable, so easy to slip into a handbag, pocket or briefcase
- Soft and squeezable, which makes holding them quite a tactile and comforting experience – and there’s no danger of the PODSTA breaking if you drop it, and its child-friendly
- Compatible with most smartphones
- Works in portrait and landscape modes
- The texture of the holder has quite a bit of grip, which means you can use it on the train or as a car holder
- Low cost and simple
Here’s their video, for more info:
Our Blogger Liaison Executive Laura has been road-testing it this week and adores it (we suspect mostly because it’s pink!)
Here’s what she had to say:
“So far i’ve found the Podsta to be an excellent little phone holder. I can just drop it in my bag to take it anywhere and the fact that I can sit it upright on my desk makes Facetime and reading messages easier.”
So it sounds like she’s a convert! We’re keen to get your views on new products – should we stock these? Would you buy one? Feel free to drop me a line and let me know!
In the meantime, we have tons of iPhone accessories and iPad 2 accessories available on the main site.
