This is probably the most unsanitary iPhone app to date, although I admit it’s pretty hilarious. iLickit allows ‘players’ to choose what type of food to lick…literally. Using a “special tongue optimized engine”, the game allows you to use your tongue to lick the screen clean of your desired virtual food. Enjoy the video demo.
If there’s one thing I hate about my iPhone, it has got to be its crappy battery life. Don’t get me wrong, I love my iPhone, but if I get the 20%, and sometimes 10%, battery life warning on a daily basis something ain’t right. Of course, the latest iPhone firmware updates helped a bit, but I should still be able to surf the net in 3G and listen to music all day without having to worry about finding a power outlet. So, thankfully, Mophie is stepping up to the plate with their iPhone “Juice Pack 3G”.
Here’s another felt gadget to add to your collection. Just like the Plush NES, this needle-felted Apple iPhone is handcrafted and just as woolly. Currently up for sale on eBay by Squid Wool, the bid is currently at $255 — which is too steep for me to bid on a furry, yet cool looking, little thing. The needle-felted iPhone measures 4 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ x 0.5″ and is said to be made from “high quality wool”.
From Brazilian design company, Meninos, comes the iPhone coasters. The coasters are made from thin MDF plywood and come in a set of 16, which sport the identical look of the default iPhone icons. The best part is that once you’ve spread all 16 coasters across your coffee table, you’ve now transformed it into the “iPhone table”. Cool right?
Yum, cupcakes! The iPhone Cupcakes created Nick Bilton and Danielle Bilton won the Cupcake Decorating Championship hosted by Bre Pettis at Ignite NYC. If you own an iPhone, you know just how truly awesome these sugary delicacies are. There’s nothing really much more to say, except that I want to eat one…
18 year old Josef PruĊĦa and his brother of Czech Republic have managed to engineer a method to control a remote controlled car with the Apple iPhone 3G. Using an iPhone 3G (and its accelerometer), OSCemote, Max/Msp, and the Arduino microprocessor development kit, Josef was able to create an iPhone app that features “five buttons, four of them you can use for traditional driving, and when you press the last one, it unlocks the accelerometer” allowing the control of the R/C car by tilting the iPhone.

Who knows what the next iPod product Apple plans on releasing? Designer Peter Hwang has come up with an idea. Called the iPod “Capsule”, it looks like a very worthy replacement to the Shuffle. The concept looks like a medicine pill, sporting a two-tone (pink and silver) color scheme; except, you don’t swallow these. The iPod Capsule concept features the same “Home” button that is found on the iPhone and iPod Touch.
However, Hwang didn’t stop there. He even brewed up his own iPod Capsule docking station that is equipped with speakers and is capable of charging and syncing the MP3 player.
