New cable brings iPhone and iTouch, 3D support to Vuzix eyewear

We know your pain, Vuzix users. You hop on the subway just trying to enjoy a little in-your-face action before the workday begins, and within minutes the accusations and stereotypes start flying. 'Look, it's Geordi La Forge!' 'LeVar Burton, what's good?!' 'Can I try my Zune on that?' Depressing, really. Unfortunately for you, Vuzix's latest cable will not make any of that any more sufferable, though it will enable you to use your existing eyewear with Apple's iPhone and enjoy the spoils of side-by-side, interlaced and anaglyph 3D content. Said cable will be bundled in with the company's iWear AV230XL, though existing customers will definitely want to snag the standalone version for $39.95.

DLO Offers TransDock Micro for iPhone

DLO Offers TransDock Micro for iPhone

Putting another nail in terrestrial radio's coffin is DLO, which just announced the availability of the TransDock Micro for iPhone. This oddly-named gadget is an FM transmitter that lets you wirelessly broadcast your iPhone's music over any free FM frequency.

Finding a clear frequency can be a pain, so I'm glad the TransDock includes the company's IntelliTune frequency-finder, which saves the user the hassle. The TransDock also offers simple one-handed operation, so that you can rotate the dial interface--checking the frequency setting on the bright OLED display--and adjust the car stereo without being too distracted.

At $69.99 the TransDock isn't cheap, but consider this: It also charges your iPhone, and it works with all dockable iPods, so it's like getting several devices in one. If that doesn't give you a reason to abandon terrestrial radio's terrible coverage and limited playlists, then nothing will.

Portable Cross Fadin' Cassette Will Make All Your Spontaneous DJ Dreams Come True [A DJ Saved My Life]

Portable Cross Fadin' Cassette Will Make All Your Spontaneous DJ Dreams Come True [A DJ Saved My Life]

Once, while walking down the street, a man suddenly approached me screaming 'QUICK! We need someone to DJ!' If only I had had this portable cross fader—who knows how differently my life would've turned out.

The Urban DJ portable cross fader has been ultimate retro hipster designed into a cassette shape. It has three inputs up top, two for connecting to anything from an iPhone to a cellphone (with the appropriate jack) and one for connecting into... well, I'm not sure what that middle one is for. The bottom has a separate input for connecting into a speaker set or headphones.

Move the slider to mix and crossfade between your two chosen music players. Alas, because all I had on me at the time was one measly iPod, the man sneered and approached the person standing next to me and that guy went on to become one of the most famous DJs in the world. True story.

Available for roughly $48. From Japan.
