The LogMeIn Dropbox trick

logmeindropbox 318x122 The LogMeIn Dropbox trick

In a previous video, I reviewed LogMeIn Ignition and mentioned that it would be really handy in those situations where you’re out on the road away from your computer and you receive an email from a client on your iPhone or iPad saying that they desperately need a file sent to them…I file that is both too large to email and not on your iPhone.

With LogMeIn and Dropbox, you can actually manipulate your home computer from your iDevice and end up with a link that you can email your client so that they can quickly access that file without you having to race home to send it to them.

In today’s video, I show you just how that is done while also giving a quick plug to YemuZip.

The Griffin Woogie. Your kids will never give your iPhone back again.

Griffin Technology today announced a partnership with ScrollMotion, makers of the Iceberg Reader. The result? The new Griffin Woogie.

woogie 1 318x101 The Griffin Woogie. Your kids will never give your iPhone back again.

The Woogie is a soft and huggable iPhone enclosure that is part stuffed animal and part protective case. It has two built-in speakers1 to play with Iceberg Kids eBooks, music, videos, and more. The Woogie’s six appendages are made from soft, non-toxic fabrics and allow for easy carrying and tuck underneath to prop your iPhone up for handsfree viewing.

If the bright screen and fun apps weren’t enough to keep your kids fixated on your iPhone, stuffing it inside this fuzzy green asterisk from Teletubbyland will certainly ensure that your phone will soon be indelibly regarded as theirs. But at least it will keep them quiet.

The Woogie, $19.99 USD, is now available from Griffin’s website. The free Woogie Sesame Street Sampler is available in the App Store. Additional apps and content from Iceberg Kids are available in the App Store.

Photographer skins his iPhone 4 as a Leica M9

4946299399 a0cee67139 318x211 Photographer skins his iPhone 4 as a Leica M9

San Francisco photographer, Joey Celis ( @joeyjoeyjoey ) has turned his iPhone 4 into a Leica M9 with this ingenious skin. I had to look this up, not being a photography geek, but the M9 is “the world’s most compact full-format digital camera system” according to Leica. So, I would imagine that this skin would be highly sought after by every iPhone-4-using Leica fan.

With this skin, the photographic “business end” of the iPhone 4 is quite convincing as the compact M9 at a passing glance and can actually take pictures…although, not from the Leica’s lens. If you follow along with Celis’ iPhone 4 Leica M9 conversion photo set on Flickr, you’ll see how it looks in the wild as well as its humble beginnings as a Photoshop document.

While, at first, Celis had no plans to produce the skin for sale, response has been so positive that he posted this along with the picture you see above hinting that ordering information would be on the way soon:

Been getting lots of emails on when I’ll be taking orders for the Leica M9 skin and I think I finally settled on how I would like to release this and it will be in the form of donations to NF1 .

I’ll post information here and here once I skin the other phone.

Stay tuned and thanks for the support!
