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.

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:

• Allows you to connect directly to your stereo
• Allows you to connect directly to your TV
• Charges your iPod or iPhone
• Metal body gives it a solid feel
• Weighs 320 grams which means that it won’t be moved easily
• Features gold plated connectors that guarantees high quality sound and image

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.

Sieben iDock Gen 2 Compatibility List:

• iPod Nano 1st Gen, 2nd Gen, 3rd Gen, 4th Gen
• iPod 5th Gen – 30GB, 60GB, 80GB
• iPod Classic – 80GB, 60GB, 120GB
• iPod Touch – 1st & 2nd Gen

When I look at the newly announced Griffin iPod Powerdock I realise how far we’ve come in regards to the audio gadgetry and how the iPod has become a part of many of our lives. For families or households where iPods abound, this is the perfect iPod charging solution. The Griffin Powerdock iPod Charger allows iPodians to charge 4 iPods at a time! Don’t think it can iTune Sync all at once but I’m sure that functionality isn’t too far away.

Should hit Australia in the next couple of months.
