Altec Lansing-T612 iPhone Speaker Dock

IMusic for the iEars

With the iPhone hysteria due to hit the region already, it's probably a good time to go into the accessories that you'll probably want for your spanking new phone. Seen here is Altec Lansing's T612, a iPhone speaker dock that's also compatible with your iPods and of course, the newest iPhone 3G.

IDock

Setting up was definitely easy to do, just plug in the power cable and the unit's good to go. There's no real need to assemble the dock for your iPhone as it already comes set up, though you will have to switch the dock connector around if you want to use either a iPod or the iPhone 3G (as the 3G is slightly thicker).
While the overall design is good to look at, the unit did have some stability problems as we found out when testing. Rest assured that it's not as bad as it sounds: the T612 won't topple over while you're using it, but it's still strange the unit wasn't actually lying flushed on our table top.

IUse
Using the T612 was definitely a simple affair, just plug in your iPhone or iPod, hit the play button and you're all done. Volume and track controls (limited to stop, play, forward and rewind) were conveniently located on top, and glowing blue LED indicator lights displayed the current settings. Bass and treble settings can also be adjusted using the same controls. The included remote control is basically a rehash of the controls found on the unit, and unfortunately doesn't offer any option to navigate the iPhone's more complex menu options. If you need to choose a different playlist or select a specific song, you'll have to walk over to the unit and manually interact with your iPhone or iPod.

Design and usability issues aside, the real crunch test of the T612 comes down to how well it handles music playback and we're glad to report on a job well done on Altec Lansing's part. If booming bass is your cup of tea, then the T612 will come with sugar added.

Even at the lowest volume, the bass was still audible and clear, though the middle setting for the bass sounded flat while the maximum setting was too "boomy". We found that a setting of four lights gave the best bass performance overall. Being designed for the iPhone, the T612 also comes magnetically shielded from the iPhone's signals and switches off when a call is detected. While this doesn't actually work that well seeing as how you'll have to walk over to physically answer the call, it's as optimal as can be, given the circumstances.

IBuy

Given its retail price of S$329 , the Altec Lansing T612 is a somewhat expensive product that does its job well, albeit with some minor flaws. If however, you have the spare cash and an urge to enjoy decent music playback via your iPhone, then the T612 may be that high-end digital music player for you.

Holographic Keyboards

While typing on a full-sized keyboard is nice, no one wants to carry one around with their handheld. What if your keyboard could be completely virtual?
HoloTouch, Inc. has developed a holographic keyboard, a 3D image of a keyboard that can float in the air in front of the user. An infrared detector scans the plane of the holographic image to detect which number or symbol is being "touched."

This isn't a theoretical project. InfoPerks has licensed HoloTouch's hologram technology to use in touch-less information kiosks to be located in public spaces and on sidewalks in New York. However, the hardware necessary to do this is currently much larger than will fit into a handheld.

The advantage for handhelds is obvious. The image of the keyboard can be any size, entirely independent of the size of the hardware. Of course, it will probably be years before the equipment is reduced to a size that can be integrated into a handheld.

RotoView
Some ideas are so simple, when you first hear of them you think, "Now why didn't I think of that?"

RotoView is one such invention.
Even the largest handheld screens are tiny compared with the ones on laptops and desktops. Handhelds get around this by allowing the user to scroll around on a larger virtual screen. But doing so is cumbersome. It is much easier with RotoView; you can just tilt the unit left-right or up-down to scroll around on the virtual screen..

Obviously you don't want this to happen every time you tilt your handheld. The device can be put in Navigation Mode to activate tilt scrolling, or put in Fixed Mode to stop it.

RotoView is the brainchild of Innoventions Inc., which says the technology is available for licensing. Obviously the handheld or smartphone needs a sensor to detect when it is being tilted, so more than software is required. However, the company is working to get the necessary hardware built into future handhelds.

Keep The Watch....

Britain is the most CCTV-heavy nation on the planet, but easy-to-use services to check up on your house when you're not there have yet to really kick off.

New wireless video monitoring service ConnectVu aims to change all that. It offers CCTV or video feeds straight to your mobile phone over GSM/GPRS/3G and other mobile networks. Video is streamed at up to 10 frames per second - so good enough to get a decent view of your house or other location.

Check multiple locationsAn application is installed on your mobile phone which communicates directly with the ConnectVu server. Once up and running, you'll be able to drive so-called PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras or control connected systems or devices in real time from your handset.

You can check on multiple locations, switch lights on and off, zoom in and out, and close gates.

The server gateway makes the connection between the camera and the mobile handset without the need of firewall, network or router configuration. You can view video streams on multiple devices, including mobile handsets, internet-connected computers and Wi-Fi-enabled devices. The included software enables you to record and playback video streams.

Most video-equipped handsets from Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Motorola, LG et al are supported, as are BlackBerry and Pocket PC devices.
