Griffin WindowSeat Holds Your iPhone/iPod Touch at Eye Level For Convenient Viewing, Face Hitting

This Griffin WindowSeat is a suction cup-based iPhone/iPod touch mount for your car, allowing you to keep your phone at eye level for easy map viewing and voicemail checking. What's left unsaid is how sturdy this thing is in case of an accident, and whether it will come careening off your window or dashboard into your face to make a comically iPhone-ish indentation on your cheek. Either way, it's $29.99, which isn't all that expensive for the ability to surf the internet while driving (kidding). [Griffin via PCWorld]

Griffin PowerDock is Two iPods At the Same Time, Man

There's nothing better than two iPods or iPhones at the same time, unless you're talking about four iPods at the same time, but let's not get greedy. Griffin's PowerDock lets you bathe in the comfort of knowing two beautiful universal dock ports are being serviced simultaneously, while at the same time holding them upright in a gentle caress that only a dock that's certified as "Works with iPhone" and "Made for iPod" can. You too can get two iPods at the same time for not one million dollars, but $49.99. [Griffin]

AMD Puma Mobile Platform Launching Next Week, Fighting the Good Fight

Intel's upcoming (and delayed) Centrino 2 isn't the only mobile platform in town. At Computex, AMD will be showing off its Puma platform, which is made up of a Turion Ultra CPU (aka Griffin), a mobile version of the 780G chipset and Mobility Radeon 3200 integrated graphics (yay synergy). AMD's mostly targeting "volume business and consumer markets," so it's aiming a bit lower than Centrino 2. Which seems to match how it performs in comparison, unfortunately. Still it's good AMD's finally getting it out the door, fighting the good fight. [TG Daily]

Griffin ClearBoost iPhone Case Reviewed (Verdict: Who Do You Believe?)

Griffin's new ClearBoost case promises protection and a cellular signal boost for the iPhone, but does it deliver on those promises? Well, that would depend on who you believe. iLounge claims that the signal boost works, but not under the weakest signal conditions. Crunchgear, on the other hand, called the signal booster "one of the greatest scams perpetrated on mankind since the Kennedy assassination." Hmm...strong words. However, both agreed that the case itself was decent, so at least you have that for your $30. UPDATE: It appears that Crunchgear's review was done using a hacked iPhone on T-Mobile, which would account for the problems. Griffin tells us the ClearBoost was made for AT&T's network.

From Rumorware to Bandwagonware: Here Come the MacBook Air Accessories

It starts with a case: This week, after one company preemptively announced a sexy MacBook Air sleeve before the Jobsnote, others have followed suit. Not only is there a real Manila folder case in the works, but others, from WaterField to Belkin, are launching their own lineups. Here are Belkin's first hasty MBA-friendly bags. (They're pretty, but almost too pretty. Is Belkin saying that the MacBook Air is for girls?) Like I said, the Bandwagonware starts with cases—easiest to fudge—but soon we think we'll see companies like Belkin, Targus, Kensington, DLO and Griffin popping other goodies, from neon rubber protective skins to any number of competitively priced drives and dongles, just to fit in.

Griffin PowerDock Charges Your iPod(s) X4

Griffin has introduced the new PowerDock that is capable of charging up to four iPods at once. It's a perfect charging solution for music loving families, or any dude who has multiple iPods and insists on using them all. Its functionality is limited to charging for now, but it is not hard to imagine the upgrades that could occur down the line. More »

Griffin Evolve Is the Perfect iPod Dock (Well, Almost)

Over the weekend, I put the ballyhooed Griffin Evolve through the paces. As you know, this system has wireless speakers with their own rechargeable batteries. When they sit on the dock, they charge, but when you want them in the dining room or out on the deck, you just grab them—and the RF remote—and enjoy your tunes. Here are the questions you might have, and my no-BS answers: More »

Griffin's Evolve is Perfect Wireless Sound System for Pool Parties

Griffin, winners of our Battlemodo Dock-off with their Amplifi, had us going "Ooh!" and "Aaah!" this afternoon at their latest sound-system, the Evolve. You can configure as many speakers to the dock as you want, simply by placing them on top of the dock briefly to add them to the network. All the details, plus a release date and price after the bump.

iPod Dock Bracket FINALE, Altec Lansing IMV712 vs. Griffin Amplifi

"One cannot live while the other survives."
- J.K. Rowling

It's been what feels like three years in the making, but the final fight in our iPod Dock Battlemodo begins now. The $150 Griffin Amplifi is our budget contender, going face to face against the posh $350 Altec Lansing IMV712. And with that long of a model number, you know it's gotta be good.

But only one will leave this ring coffee table alive.

Griffin's iKaraoke TunePrompter

Fans of Karaoke probably already own Griffin's iKaraoke attachment for the iPhone, but their iKaraoke TunePrompter takes singing by yourself to the next level. You can now take song lyrics and create your own Karaoke videos with them and display it on the iPod Video or the iPhone, allowing you to both watch lousy home-made videos and know what the words are to all your songs.

Sneak Peek at Griffin's Wireless Evolve iPod Speakers

We went rummaging through Griffin's New York HQ yesterday and got some one-on-one time with the sexy new Evolve wireless speaker dock. Here's how it works. You dock your iPod on the Evolve base station and then you can carry the cube-shaped speakers anywhere you want. The speakers last for 10 hours per charge and Griffin says you should get about a 150-foot range with them. We didn't go the full 150 feet, but here's what we found out. More »

Griffin Releases Yet Another iTrip—2nd Gen Nano Approved

I'm pretty sure that this is the 58th different iTrip released by Griffin, but we still buy them, especially because we are all suckers for iPod accessories. The latest iTrip is specifically designed for the second generation iPod nano. It fits on the back and bottom of the iPod. It doesn't look too bad, besides bulking up the nano a bit. Anyone remember back in the day, the original iTrip? Yeah, the tube/barrel thing that sat on top of the third and fourth generation iPods. Man, those were great. More »
