This is an old article from 30th March 2016. It includes a link to hear Marcus Bronzy chatting to James Trew of Engadget chatting about drones and much much more! 

It’s boring being an adult, look at how cool these toys are!! Big boys and our drone racing, drone flying, drone everything toys!! These crazy people are racing drones now!

Skilled pilots fly quad-copter drones through real life courses at speeds up to 120mph. The drones are custom built for speed, agility, and performance & these crazy son’s of naughty words are real life pilots! Steering from the point of view of the drone by wearing First Person View (FPV) goggles that display a live image transmitted by an onboard camera.

Flying a drone competitively at high speed in FPV is an intense, immersive experience.

Native Union iPhone Charger

/in , /by

Nick Bright spoke about this really cool iPhone Charger here and it solved a LOT of problems!

It’s called the Native Union iPhone Charger and it has a FAT knot at the end of it.

Unparalleled Strength
NIGHT Cable’s brand new construction for 2017 features a super-strong reinforced structure. Independent testing has proved it is 6x stronger than standard Lightning cables.

Increased Lifespan
Redesigned from the inside out, NIGHT Cable’s O-Flex strain relief design at the connector joints and 17,000+ bend* lifespan makes it incredibly resistant to daily wear and tear.

*Based on independent bend test. One bend = 90 degree clockwise bend + 90 degree counter-clockwise bend

Extended Range
NIGHT Cable’s extended 10-foot range gives you more freedom to comfortably charge anywhere. No more straining to use your device when it’s recharging.

Weighted Knot
Its weighted knot can be anchored to any flat surface, so it’s always there when you need it next. No more fumbling around for dropped cables.

MFi Certified
Our cables are MFi Certified by Apple, giving you peace of mind that they will be compatible with any of your Lightning devices. Each cable is given a unique serial number by Apple, and every Lightning connector contains an authorization chip that your device recognizes, so you know you have the real deal.

Highly Compatible
No need to worry if our cable is going to fit your favorite case. Our compact and slim Lightning connector head fits into most iPad, iPod and iPhone case port openings, including the Lifeproof case.

Charge and sync in style
The retro inspired braided cable complements both your style and your space.

Who needs wires?
Wireless is the way to go now, Apple have dropped wires from their headphones and now Mophie have found a way to drop wires from your charger!

We have been using the Mophire Juice Pack Air + Wireless Charging base for a while now and it is amazing! Just like charging but without the wires, all you got to do is drop your phone down on the charging plate and it starts juicing up your phone!

The case is compatible with Qi and other wireless charging technologies so you can use it with a variety of wireless charge pads.

Mophie also offer a range of charger mounts, which we will try and get on the show to review soon, so keep an eye out for that! It features the same technology as the bases but has a small magnet in it to hold your phone in place.

The case is also durable and protects from:

  • every day wear and tear,
  • Has support pads inside the case to protect from drops and hard falls
  • Extra cushioning on the corners
  • Complete protection from water and dirt.
  • Has an extra battery to provide up to 100% extra battery giving you up to 27hours with the touch of a button.

Apple AR Glasses?!

/in , /by

According to Tech Journalist Robert Scoble Apple are working on an AR set of smart glasses with German lens specialist Carl Zeiss to bring AR to the masses in 2017.

Scoble has written of Apple’s VR plans before back in November he said that Apple were planning on building a PrimeSense sensor right into the TV and into the iPad/iPhone to create some sort of mixed reality.  Primesense are a 3D sensing company, the same company who created the original Xbox Kinect – Apple acquired them in 2013.

Tim Cook has spoke of AR in the past calling that AR will be bigger business in the long term than VR,Cook told Good Morning America in Septembe:

“There’s virtual reality and there’s augmented reality – both of these are incredibly interesting…….But my own view is that augmented reality is the larger of the two, probably by far…..Virtual reality sort of encloses and immerses the person into an experience that can be really cool but probably has a lower commercial interest over time. Less people will be interested in that.”
