Sometimes when I get off of work, I go straight to the bar.  The espresso bar that is.  I enjoy a nice cup or two to get my “mojo” back.  I often hit up Buzz Bakery to chat it up with my partner Carl about life, and the app that Activebright is creating.  While buzz is mainly a cupcake spot, their hidden gem is that they serve madcap coffee.  Madcap in my opinion is the best coffee in the city.  Smooth and it hits you immediately.

I also saw that Carl was sporting the Bookbook and the Karvt iphone casing.  Styling on you nerds for sure.

love it! looks much smoother…

Still not cool enough to fork out another $400 4 months after I just got the 4. Apple really should stop doing things like this. Cosumers are getting smarter everyday.

Mobius by Eton

Charge your iPhone in a solar-powered case

With the recently released Mobius, a sleek new solar battery case for the iPhone 4, Palo Alto-based company Eton has upped the ante on green solutions for mobile devices. Mobius is a huge improvement over previous solar chargers that relied mostly on clunky external designs with limited mobility. Mobius users simply place the case in the sun and charging starts immediately. The pack can also be detached and charged separately, the energy stored for when you need it. An LED readout lets users know how much energy remains, and the pack is equipped with a slide bar to stop charging and save energy. For skeptics afraid of rainy days, Mobius can also be charged via a convenient USB port.

A full charge effectively doubles your battery life with an additional five hours of talk time, or eight hours of either 3G internet or video playback. If you don’t have time for a long charge, one hour in the sun will get you 25 minutes of talk time. Apple has long supported solar solutions, and this is the third Apple-specific device from Eton. Their Soulra  and Soulra XL solar-powered speakers are definitely worth a look.

What really impressed us about Mobius was its discreet design and practicality. Doubling as an iPhone protector case, the battery pack is conveniently shaped so as not to interfere with the device’s usability. The hard plastic case feels solid and the battery pack has a comfortable ergonomic design. It’s also seductively slim and lightweight, two advantages that indicate a graceful future for solar power given its relatively cumbersome origins.

Mobius sells through Amazon for around $80.

SMUG ALERT: If you don’t have an iPhone, go fuck yourself.

Over the weekend, our team of investigative journalists uncovered the original Apple smugulous  iPhone 4 commercial… The footage is a bit raw, but the message is still clear — if you don’t own an iPhone, you’re a peasant!

The Mobile Movement: Understanding Smartphone Consumers (by GoogleMobileAds)

I love these motion-infographics.  They are the future.  Shout out to:madmen

Downloaded the listenr App a few days ago and I just used it. 

Pros:

• The people who I follow on tumblr primarily for the visual things they promote also have good taste in music.
• The user experience is almost identical to those of you familiar with pandoras app.  
• You can like and reblog music from this app to tumblr. 
• Your likes can be organized into a playlist

Cons:

• I am only allowed to search for music that is posted by individuals that I follow. 
• The individuals that I follow are often too lazy to tag the songs properly.
• The lack of tags, combined with the limited amount of music makes the search option all but useless.
• On wifi the app worked without a hitch, on 3g it was choppy at times.  

My rating 4 out of 5.  I will post a video review shortly to explain this number.
