<p>Since everybody knows Steve Jobs pumps out super sweet products like the <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3029/2551451464_857a6b9ed4.jpg?v=0" target="_blank" rel="lightbox">iPhone</a>, <a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2335/2551449336_40365083bc.jpg?v=0" target="_blank" rel="lightbox">iPod</a>, and <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3048/2550731843_72030c204b.jpg?v=0" target="_blank" rel="lightbox">iRobot</a>, we don&#8217;t usually cover many of the <a title="MadTV: iRack" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mCCYLC-4xA" target="_blank">&quot;i&quot; products</a>.&#160; However, since Oakley doesn&#8217;t usually manufacture phone cases, we thought this needed some special attention. </p>
<p>The Oakley iPhone case features a durable sure-grip design crafted from <a title="Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unobtanium" target="_blank">Unobtainium</a> rubber.&#160; The open face provides full screen access while also providing protection via the slight rubber lip that raps around the front edge.&#160; Don&#8217;t worry, you&#8217;ll still have full access to all cord connections. </p>
<p><em>*Even with all that protection, there&#8217;s still a 0.01% chance your iPhone will get pregnant (and by pregnant I mean broken), so drink responsibly.</em>&#160;</p>
</p>
<p><span id="more-707"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Lightweight molded Unobtainium&#194;&#174; rubber </li>
<li>Open face for full view and access to touch screen </li>
<li>Sits on its side to let you view video </li>
<li>Offers convenient access to controls and cord jacks </li>
<li>Import </li>
</ul>

<p>Did you know that 60% of people self-explore their carnal instincts in the shower, the other 40% merely sing.&#160; Do you know what they sing?*&#160; </p>
<p>The <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3366/3450143991_c9cae033f8.jpg?v=0" target="_blank" rel="lightbox">iSing</a> is a fogless mirror with built-in waterproof radio and speakers.&#160; The unit comes with a <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3627/3450146215_2269f62b2a.jpg?v=0" target="_blank" rel="lightbox">wireless FM module</a> so that you can remotely tune into your ipod, radio, etc.&#160; The speakers fold-in to <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3369/3450145577_b069ff6f6c.jpg?v=0" target="_blank" rel="lightbox">cover the mirror/radio</a> when it&#8217;s not being used.&#160; This is an excellent shaving mirror for men, it even has a built in light.&#160; </p>
<p><em>*Of course you don&#8217;t know what the 40% sing, you&#8217;re one of the 60%!</em>&#160;&#160;&#160; </p>
<p><span id="more-1788"></span></p>
<p>The fogless mirror works well, but eventually it will fog up a little bit.&#160; The speakers sound good considering their size, but I&#8217;ve never been a fan of the FM transmitter gadgets, they never sound as good as a direct audio hookup.&#160; I usually just use the <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3337/3450144959_74590d96ef.jpg?v=0" target="_blank" rel="lightbox">radio function</a> which works great, even with the antenna low.&#160; You can hang the iSing with screws or the <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3376/3450143163_d5b68b658b.jpg?v=0" target="_blank" rel="lightbox">included suction cups</a>.&#160; Check out the other great bathroom accessories at <a title="Home Page" href="http://www.zadro.biz/" target="_blank">Zadro</a>.</p>

<p><span id="more-1779"></span></p>
<p>With only four buttons, the player is easy to control while it&#8217;s strapped to your head.&#160; The search buttons double as volume control. The SwiMP3 <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3567/3370978638_ff5b68a55e.jpg?v=0" target="_blank" rel="lightbox">connects directly to a USB port</a> where you can easily add music to the unit.&#160; You can drag and drop your MP3 files into the SwiMP3 folder or you can use the SwiMP3 Media Manager.&#160; With 256 MB of storage, the player holds about 50-70 songs.&#160; I used the headphones for about 4 hours continuously and the battery was sound.&#160; There&#8217;s no digital display to show when the battery is low, but Finis says it will last about 10 hours.&#160; </p>

One ring to rule them all!  (all of your Apple devices that is)</p>
<p>This is the coolest concept I&#8217;ve seen in while.  If the only plan was to have the apple symbol light up I would still buy it.  Now before you Mac-o-holics start scouring the web for a place to buy this gem, I should make it very clear that the <a rel="lightbox" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3163/3077180485_f292b9f8fd.jpg?v=0" target="_blank">iRing</a> is not an actual item (hence the &#8220;Visionary&#8221; category of this post), but rather a 3D design image created by <a rel="lightbox" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3011/3078043064_a0cda72175.jpg?v=0" target="_blank">Victor Soto</a>.</p>
<p>If an engineering team does jump on board with the iRing, the plan is to include a Bluetooth touch sensitive &#8220;<a rel="lightbox" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3056/3077281375_d645272e9b.jpg?v=0" target="_blank">function strip</a>&#8221; for iPod (or iPhone) volume and playback control. Personally, I think an actual dial along the center of the ring might be more practical than touch-screen technology on a piece of <a rel="lightbox" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3164/3077962142_df01b9150e.jpg?v=0" target="_blank">jewelry for your hand</a>, it seems less likely to inadvertently change songs or blow out your eardrums; of course, if anyone can get it done, it&#8217;s Steve &#8220;Superman&#8221; Jobs.</p>
<p><span id="more-1239"></span></p>
<p>The iRing concept from Victor Soto features a bright OLED Apple shaped status display with a touch-sensitive function strip.  The <a rel="lightbox" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3033/3078012062_66328d8f99.jpg?v=0" target="_blank">cradle</a> charges the iRings battery which should last up to 12 hours.  The ring also includes a locking mechanism to prevent accidental volume or playback adjustments.</p>

What&#8217;s more, is that all the ports can be toggled between input or output functionality, so you can plug in multiple music players at the same time,&nbsp; which might be handy if you use the hub as a multi switch for a stereo or speaker set-up.</p>
