The iPhone has many uses and a number of people have created various programs for it including a remote control for your home. Now, two programmers from the Czech Republic have made software for the iPhone which can control your RC car. The control system has a couple of nice features. The screen features five buttons which four of them are used to control the car in a more traditional way, forward, backwards, left and right. The fifth button is the magic one though because when you press this the accelerometers in the phone are activated and you can control the car by tilting the iPhone. The whole system sounds like it was complicated to put together, but I was surprised to find out it only took an idea and one afternoon to make a working version of this. The system follows this...

A number of iPhone battery problems have been voiced across the web. If you are not happy with the battery time you get on your iPhone 3G handset then this extender could be an option for you. This extended battery has a 2400 mAh capacity but unfortunately, it will add an element of ugliness to your iPhone. The battery extender only comes available in black and no matter what way you look at it, this thing does make your iPhone look ugly.

Check out this clever iPhone document scanner, which was made Cincinnati design student Kyle A Koch, so that he could photograph documents easily with his iPhone. The iPhone document scanner is made from cardboard, and it places the iPhone at the correct distance from the paper to photograph it. When I got my iPhone last year I loved having everything important in one place, and the ability to get rid of unneccesary devices, documents and information i kept with me. I would frequently snap photos of class assignments printed on copy paper so I wouldn’t have to worry about losing them. The documents normally came out pretty clear, but it was tough to keep still while taking the pictures. I set out to make something that would ensure clean, consistent pictures of documents taken with the...

Have you seen the Windows Mobile iPhone themes that are out on the Internet? I have a Windows Mobile phone, however one of the things it lacks if the iPhone theme which is a very intuitive and cool looking user interface that Apple has come up with - it certainly is very different from your regular style of user interface that you get on most mobile phones. In the year since it first appeared, it’s had a real influence on other how other manufacturers are developing their own interfaces, however I’ve yet to find one that truly rivals it. With that in mind I thought I might buy a Windows Mobile iPhone theme for my mobile phone, the HTC Tytn II as the standard themes included are very much work-based solutions rather than anything innovative or slick-looking like the iPhone. Once you...

Watching a movie on your 3G iPhone is less than fun, unless you have some sort of stand to rest your iPhone on, enter the BatRest iPhone stand, which has absolutely nothing to do with Batman. The BatRest iPhone stand is made from durable polypropylene, and it features curved support so it can accommodate your 3G iPhone as well as the 2G one.

The guys over at Touch Arcade have received some interesting images, of what is reported to be a new iPhone gaming controller from Belkin called the JoyPod. Now no one knows for sure, whether these images are 100% real or a clever photoshop job, but from the looks of it they look pretty convincing. As you can see from the image above, the Belkin JoyPod is designed to slip over the iPhone, and it has 8 controls which use the iPhone’s touch screen interface to control the game. According to the anonymous tipster who sent the images to Touc Arcade, Belkin will begin testing the JoyPod in October, and it is reported to have full support for all App Store games, which would certainly make iPhone gaming a lot more fun. Lets hope this is an actual accessory for the 3G iPhone, and not a...

There is a buzz on the blogosphere amongst iPhone users about iPhone Girl. A UK iPhone purchaser found pictures of one of the Foxconn factory workers on his phone when he activated it. Like other buzz campaigns such as the bring back Cadbury Wispa Facebook group fiasco, the orginators have up to now denied that it was a buzz marketing exercise. Foxconn claim that the iPhone Girl was a member of staff and had not been expelled. Xiandai Kuaibao claim that the photo may have been taken during production testing of the device. This buzz has directed some attention away from the product criticisms of the new iPhone and a recent UK government censure for Apple regarding misleading advertising claims made about the new iPhone. Given the efforts of Apple’s PR (or this little video gem)...

iPhone Accessories - The iPhone Car Mount Here’s a useful accessory for your iPhone, the iPhone Car Mount. Your iPhone clips in securely to the bracket on the front with room to access the dock connector and headphone jack. However, the best feature is the ability to easily rotate your iPhone 90 degrees into portrait or landscape mode. This makes it easy to watch videos on your phone since Apple insists that movies can only play in widescreen orientation… not that you should be watching movies while driving of course. Unfortunately the iPhone car mount does not work with the new 3G iPhone’s but I am sure they will have a compatible version out soon. The iPhone Car Mount is available to buy online for $12.99 from Think Geek....
