Canopy’s is an iPhone 4 case for budding iPhone photographers and videographers. The case—which is a bit bulkier than your typical iPhone 4 case—connects to the phone’s dock-connector port and provides two physical control buttons on one side. When using Canopy’s free camera app, one of the button provides a physical shutter button, and the other lets you change settings, giving the iPhone more of the feel of a point-and-shoot camera. (Canopy is also making available, for free, a development kit to allow other developers to create software that takes advantage of the Kapok’s hardware.) The Kapok also includes a standard threaded tripod mount.
Multiple companies were showing off iPod/iPhone speaker docks with a built-in DLP . Neo-i sports an iPod dock, a 16-Watt speaker system, and HDMI, VGA, and other video inputs and can project a 120-inch image in a dark room. Pricing and availability were not available. WowWee’s $430 , available by the end of January, sports an iPad-compatible dock cradle, multiple AV inputs (including Mini-HDMI and VGA), and a 6-Watt speakers system and can project a 60-inch image in a dim room.
