Written by Review: BBP Industries Mobiband Bluetooth Stereo Headphones
Core functionality is what these two headsets have in common. Both include stereo speakers—one per ear—and a microphone so that you can make phone calls with an iPhone, and use voice input-ready apps with any iOS device. They’re also both designed to be portable: the corded Zion earpieces can be wrapped up and stuck inside an included canvas carrying pouch, while Mobiband goes beyond the aforementioned Sportsband by folding up for…

Last October, Samsung made a new attack in its ongoing patent war with Apple, filing motions to block sales of the iPhone 4S in both France and Italy, alleging infringements of patents relating to WCDMA standards for 3G-enabled devices. About a month ago the French motion was denied and now we’re learning that an Judge Marina Tavassi of the Italian Tribunale di Milano has said “negato” as well. What’s next? We hear Brazil is lovely this time of year…

As TechCrunch noted earlier today, a “guest mode” on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch would be a very useful feature. Fortunately for those of you who jailbreak, you can have that feature right now. More » 
That iPhone 4S just not cutting the mustard when it comes to wake up calls? Need something a little iHome-ier? Well, you’re in luck because the company behind the iW1 AirPlay has a slew of refreshed docks just waiting to step and repeat at next week’s CES. On deck are the $270 iW4, an AirPlay for your bedside table, the $70 iP18 with its selection of four distinct flashing LED colors to rouse you from rest and the$170 iD50, a Bluetooth alarm dock that’s equal parts clock radio and speakerphone. Sadly, it’s going to be all show and no buy for a while, as these iOS-friendly devices won’t be released until later this year. Think you can sit tight? Good, then check out the PR after the break while you wait.
Voice integration for the iPhone? Spotify’s working on it. The streaming service’s CEO Daniel Ek showed off a little “hack” his company has been working on, while proclaiming his passion for the 4S’s sassy assistant Siri, telling his handset to serve up some Coldplay. The phone, naturally, obliged. No word yet on whether such a feature might work for groups not directly tied to Gwyneth Paltrow.

This here is Mimbo. He’s the kindly sort. Smile and Mimbo smiles back. Sure, others in his place might let their cardboard bodies, iPhone faces and all of the male bimbo jokes stand in the way of having a good time. Not Mimbo. The happy little ‘bot uses facial recognition to generation a corresponding emotion on that cardboard-wrapped iPhone head of his. His face is composed of four LEDs for eyes, an empty label eyelid and a mouth made from a multifader, all created using TouchOSC. And using facial tracking via a program like FaceOSC, little Mimbo can mimic your expressions. Check out the ‘bot in a video after the break and find out how to manufacture your own Mimbo at home in the source link below.

It had to happen at some point, right? Adobe and Apple — two names in a similar field — would inevitably end up hiring someone that worked at the other firm in a past life, and unsurprisingly, the world is up in arms about an acquisition that would go unreported if not for the past drama between the two outfits. As the story goes, Todd Teresi (formerly of Adobe) has been hired to be the new chief of Apple’s iAd mobile advertising division, but since the hire hasn’t been officially confirmed, it’s all based on “sources familiar with the matter.” Interestingly, Bloomberg BusinessWeek asserts that the iAd team has been “cutting prices to keep customers from jumping ship to rivals, including Google,” noting that the dominance seen in the tablet market isn’t exactly translating on the advertising side. Something tells us Apple’s got a few bills to lose while experimenting, though.

There’s no doubt that many of us could stand to live healthier lives, and it’s no mistake that devices, services, and tools that help us achieve healthier lifestyles and decreased body masses are on the rise.
