At the recent New York International Toy Fair, Fisher Price debuted its $14.99 Laugh & Learn Baby iCan Play Case (above). Ideal for parents who appreciate the advantages of iPhone and iTouch as a babysitter, but don’t want 400+ quid’s worth of kit used as a teething hammer.

The ArkCanary II acoustic speaker ($13). Clips onto the bottom of the iPhone and amplifies the internal speaker.
Cool, sleek, streamlined, pocket-friendly.
It’s none of these things.
Just a Loop, available for €10 from Shopify:
“…gives your phone an edge against scratches, better grip, and lots of other functionality. One size fits all — amazingly enough, Just a Loop fits every iPhone model ever manufactured.”
Nope. No design flaw there.
The iFan by designer Tjeerd Verhoven. It’s still in beta, but what a nifty idea.

Ahem. Development continues.

A redux of Michael Jackson’s Beat It where the iPhone gang faces off against the iPad gang, complete with a running commentary of tweets.
A perfect storm of geeknacity.
We still like Weird Al Yankovic’s version.
This is the BONE Horn Stand (fnarr) for iPhone – a lo-fi acoustic amp, sheathed (fnarr) in silicone that adds 12 decibels of sound pressure to your iPhone’s speakers without draining any juice (fnarr) from the iPhone’s battery.
It also makes a handy stand, propping your unit (fnarr) into a vertical or horizontal viewing position.
It only works with the iPhone 4, not the 3G or 3GS.
All fnarred out now.
