New drawings of the unannounced iPhone were released this week, showing an iterative improvement in the look of the phone. The antenna lines, which mar an otherwise clear back side near the top and bottom, have been moved to the top and bottom edges of the phone in a curve. This allows the phone’s radios to escape the metal shell as usual, but looks much better.*
Here’s something cool: Duet Display is an £8 app that turns an iPad or iPhone into an extra screen for your Windows or Mac computer. The ex-Apple engineers behind the app promise a simple, zero-lag experience, and Duet delivers in spades. If you wanted to be more productive or just make use of that old iPad you have lying in a drawer somewhere, this is a perfect choice.
Yesterday, we covered the Lunecase Icon, a cool case that uses electromagnetic emissions from your phone to detect incoming calls or texts, and is powered by those same emissions. Today, we’re looking at an early sample of another Lunecase, this time the Eclipse.
The Lunecase Icon has finally arrived at Mobile Fun. This unique case shows when you have incoming calls or text messages, representing the information as a light-up icon on the back of the case. That means you can see that you’re getting a call or text even when your phone is face down. That’s clever enough, but what really makes the Icon stand out is how it works.
When the Lunecase first arrived as a Kickstarter campaign awhile ago it certainly turned heads. Here was an iPhone case that provided instant notifications without using any of your battery juice. It was an innovation that captured the imagination.
