When iWorld Australia asked if I wanted to review the iLuv iPhone App Station, I jumped at the opportunity. Even without touching one, it looked like such a practical iPhone peripheral. For example, what better way to make use of a dormant charging iPhone than to have it function as a clock radio? But there’s so much more to the iLuv iPhone App Station…

In February we highlighted Uniden‘s release of Australia’s first wireless charger which they’ve dubbed the Uniden Wireless Power Pad. I know we’ve all been waiting for more of these devices to go mainstream because let’s face it, we all hate plugging in cables to recharge our mobile devices. I for one especially get upset when I can’t find my charge cord

Following on from the news that we finally received our (and possibly one of Australia’s) first batch of Novothink Surge iPhone Solar Charger Cases, we thought we’d share a Youtube video by Shinymedia taken at this year’s CES demonstrating how it works and the app you can use to show you all the battery info you’ll need.

For those who don’t know, Novothink were one of the very first companies to have an official quality solar case for the iPhone. They have since led the pack in this energy efficient area. If you’re in Australia you can order it from our shop by clicking the following : Novothink Surge iPhone Solar Charger Case
The Surge uses a solar panel to collect sunlight, which it turns into electricity. If your iPhone is not fully charged, it transfers the charge to your iPhone. When your iPhone is fully charged (or when it is not inserted), the Surge transfers the charge to its internal battery. The charge from this reserve battery will transfer to your iPhone’s battery as necessary.
What makes the Surge a smart solar charging device?
Our smart solar charger automatically charges your iPhone whenever it needs “juice” and there is sufficient power reserved in our charger. You do not need to think about it, and there are no switches to worry about: just insert your iPod touch, and our charger will know when to start and stop charging to maximize running of your iPod touch. Our smart solar charger has also a built-in thermal sensor, which will stop charging to prevent your iPhone and your charger from overheating. Of course, use your common sense and don’t leave your iPod touch on a dashboard in extremely hot weather as this could damage your iPhone and even the charger, although our charger withstands higher temperatures than the iPhone.

Can’t wait to get my hands on one for review!!
Sydney, Australia, February 12th, 2010: Say goodbye to heavy chargers, tangled wires and loose batteries; with the release of Australia’s first wireless power pad, Uniden makes recharging gadgets as easy as drop and charge, grab and go.
Ideal for recharging mobile phones, bluetooth headsets, portable GPS systems and many other mobile devices, the wireless power pad has been touted as one of the most hotly anticipated releases of the year. Compatible with more than 600 devices, a single Uniden Wireless Power Pad can charge up to five devices simultaneously.
Wireless power pads work by employing conductive charging. The pad is instantaneously activated when metal-on-metal contact occurs between the pad and a supplied sleeve. A single Uniden Wireless Power Pad placed on a kitchen counter or desk can possibly charge a whole family’s mobile phones overnight.
Completely safe, the direct metal-on-metal contact allows for a very efficient and secure power transfer without generating harmful radiation, microwaves or magnetic fields. The pad itself is so thin that it can blend into any living environment and eliminates the needs for multiple cords which would normally clutter the home or office.
To be released on March 1, the Uniden Wireless Power Pad will be available from leading electronics retailers. For purchase separately or as part of a package, a selection of power sleeves for iPhone, iPod Touch and various Blackberry models, and power discs for other mobile devices will be available from the same date.

While I was busy beautifying myself for the Nuffnang Blog Awards, I thought it would be an opportune time to fit in a review of the Dexim P-Flip Portable Power Dock for iPhones and iPods that was sent to me from iWorldAustralia. It was immediately useful to me on my trip here as in between events here in Singapore, I didn’t have time to hook up my iPhone to wall or laptop charger. The Dexim P-Flip meant that I could charge my iPhone on the run without carrying any messy cables or adapters. Being able to use it as a desktop stand is also a fantastic idea!
In this video you’ll see my long time friend and runner-up for Best Geek Blog in Asia Pacific, Mr.Michael Aulia. Cheeky guy who also loves gadgets!
Please subscribe and comment if you liked it. I got myself a Sanyo Xacti video camera while here in Singapore (I love SimLim Square!) so more videos will be popping up from now in.
Dexim P-Flip Portable Power Dock Charger for iPhone / iPod Description:

Sieben Australia provided us with their new and improved iPod dock, the Sieben iDock Gen 2. Although it looks the same as its predecessor, it offers significant functional improvements and upgrades over the Gen1 unit – not least of all video compatibility with Apple’s latest iPods.
Features of the Sieben iDock Gen 2:
The main advantages that this dock has over the standard iPod dock that comes with your iPod are the following:
Although it charges and plays music with the iPhone, it is not 100% compatible. Despite this, I still enjoy seeing and using it on my desktop with my iPhone in place.
