Well, with the advent of iPhone and iPod (in short Apple) era plenty of devices that can be used along with iPhone and iPods have popped up. We’ve reviewed a rather popular choice of Sony iPhone / iPod dock in the past, but as you will be aware, the job of most of these devices is to enhance the daily usage of your iPhone/iPods though they most of the time end up being bulky and not so portable. This is why I don’t find myself using them comfortably though I have met people who just love to use them for some unknown reasons. For such accessory lovers iHome has recently upgraded its iP90 clock so that it works comfortably with iPhone as well as iPods. The updated version is said to have better display and sound thus being more catchy for your guests. To be more precise (and being more technical) the iP90 will have adjustable bass/treble and Reson8 stereo speakers.

Some of the exciting features for this iPhone clock are its sync feature that sets the clock time to your iPhone’s time and a special button that automatically changes to daylight saving time whenever required. I will personally appreciate the DST feature considering the fact that changing back and fro due to Day Light Saving is truly weird and frustrating at times for the general lot.

The clock will have dual alarms and it will charge your iPhone if you want her to do so. Whenever launched, the new iP90 will be sold for around $90. Not a bad deal for an attractive clock!

iHome IP90: Another iPhone / iPod Alarm Clock?

When it comes to preserving nature, electric cars will play a huge role in it, at least one day. Besides that electric cars provide zero harm to the environment they have one small problem though and that’s recharging.

Recharging has always been a problem with all our portable devices and gadgets, and there’s not a worse thing that can happen to you than to run out of batteries. Once the recharging process starts and it can take some time with ordinary devices, but how much time does it take to fully recharge electric car? It takes a lot more time than charging your cell phone, that’s for sure. This is the main reason why electric cars are so impractical and not used instead of ordinary cars. Electric cars could be used for smaller distances, such as going to the shop but not for a long hour drive.

Well people from JFE Engineering Corp might have solution to this recharging problem, and that solution is called charging station. Charging station should put an end to long recharge time of your car allowing it to be recharged to 50% in only three minutes. You’ll save a lot of your time and money with these super charger stations. But before you can use this charger you’ll have to make certain modifications to your cars software and system.

One more thing, these stations aren’t cheap so one of these could cost $63,000, so they aren’t going to be widely used, at least not yet.

Rich people technology: JFE Quick Charging Station for your electric car

There have been so many iPad clones that its even hard for us to keep up with them. All of them wants to overtake Apple’s iPad, but that’s not an easy task. This new clone looks so much like the iPad and it even has similar name so it can easily be confused with original, frankly this could be one of our favourite clones of them all.

This device is called M003 APad, a.k.a. iRobot and as you can see it really resembles an iPad, but unlike iPad this device uses Android OS. Android OS works pretty well for this device and with 7 inch touch screen display it has all that you need to enjoy multimedia. In order to make sure that you enjoy your multimedia content this device uses 800 x 480 pixels resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio.

Besides that it comes with standard features such as integrated 802.11 a/b/g WiFi for internet access. Speaking of internet, APad uses Google Chrome browser to access the internet. Support for PDF, word, excel files is also included as well as email.

As for hardware, this device comes with 128MB RAM and 2GB, or 4GB hard drive depending on the model. If you need more space you can use microSD slot and use 32 GB microSD card on it. As for the price this device can be bought from China Grabber for $199. So what can we say more about APad? It’s not iPad killer that’s for sure, but it’s decent and a lot cheaper alternative if you can’t purchase iPad.
