			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s the beginning of <a href="/blog/tag/ces-2012">CES 2012</a>, and just like every year, there are lots of new toys around to make life easier. I spotted <a href="http://www.griffintechnology.com/twenty">Griffin&#8217;s Twenty</a> making the rounds, and thought that it would definitely be useful since it can turn any speaker into an AirPlay-compatible one.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-79647" title="griffin_twenty_airplay_amp" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/griffin_twenty_airplay_amp.jpg" alt="griffin twenty airplay amp" width="600" height="424" /></p>
<p><span id="more-79627"></span>This is basically a solution if you have speakers that aren&#8217;t AirPlay-compatible, which is probably most of us. Instead of replacing them, you can just get the Griffin Twenty and plug in your AirPort Express base station. Then you&#8217;ll just have to wire in your speakers and you can stream songs from your iOS device wirelessly to your speakers. I have to say it&#8217;s a pretty cool idea.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-79648" title="griffin_twenty_airplay_amp_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/griffin_twenty_airplay_amp_2.jpg" alt="griffin twenty airplay amp 2" width="600" height="407" /></p>
<p>As its name hints, the Twenty outputs 20 watts-per-channel, and it connects to the Airport Express via its digital output, ensuring the most pristine audio. Griffin hasn&#8217;t yet announced a price or a release date, but I&#8217;m guessing it&#8217;s going to be sold soon. You&#8217;ll also need to add your own spare AirPort Express base station to make it work.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Griffin has unveiled a new device for musicians that is pretty cool. It&#8217;s called the <a href="http://store.griffintechnology.com/guitarconnect-pro">GuitarConnect Pro</a> and allows the connection of an electric guitar, bass or other musical instrument with a 1/4-inch plug to connect to your iPad or iPhone. The device gives an all-digital connection to the tablet and allows the player to record directly with <em>GarageBand</em> and most of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_Audio">Core Audio</a> apps.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-76018" title="griffin_guitar_connect_pro_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/griffin_guitar_connect_pro_1.jpg" alt="griffin guitar connect pro 1" width="600" height="531" /></p>
<p><span id="more-76001"></span>The adapter device connects to your iOS device using the charge-and-sync port, and has a thumbwheel to adjust the input level. This makes the iPad or iPhone perfect for practicing the guitar and it will let you play and record sessions on the go easily as well.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-76019" title="griffin_guitar_connect_pro_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/griffin_guitar_connect_pro_2.jpg" alt="griffin guitar connect pro 2" width="600" height="240" /></p>
<p>You can pick one of these up right now for $79.99(USD) and record all you want to your favorite music app. I wonder how good tbe recordings sound. If any of you are guitar players let us know how this works if you pick it up.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This cute case from Griffin is called the Faces case. The name says it all. It allows you to mix and match eyes and mouth tiles in the case to create your own unique face.</p>

<p><span id="more-70514"></span>This iPod Touch case is made from silicone and in addition to being cute and adorable, protects your device quite nicely. The Griffin Faces case comes with six different eyes and three mouths. So you can configure the face on your case however and whenever you like.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-70523" title="griffin_ipod_touch_faces_cases_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/griffin_iphone_faces_cases_2.jpg" alt="griffin iphone faces cases 2" width="600" height="305" /></p>
<p>You can buy the Faces case right now from the <a href="http://store.griffintechnology.com/faces">Griffin website</a> for $25(USD), and it comes in pink or blue for the iPod Touch. Hopefully they will release one for our iPhones down the road. Very cute!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last month, the Griffin Helo TC helicopter that is controlled by the iPhone <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/07/14/griffin-helo-tc-rc-helicopter/">surfaced</a>, but the product wasn’t official yet. Today the official press release has been sent out and we have all the details on the little toy that we want to know. We also have a few official pics to check out as well.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-64393" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/helo-tc-3.jpg" alt="helo tc 3" width="600" height="409" title="helo tc 3 photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-64390"></span>The <a href="http://www.griffintechnology.com/helotc">Helo TC</a> is a twin rotor helicopter with a little rotor on the back to help steer. The Flight Deck IR module plugs into the iPhone and then clips on the back so you can keep a hand on it easily. You get two modes of steering with virtual joysticks, or tilt steering if you prefer. The app can also store up to three flight plans.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-64394" title="helo-tc-4" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/helo-tc-4.jpg" alt="helo tc 4" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p>That means you can record a flight and have the helicopter make the same flight again automatically. The battery inside the helicopter is rechargeable from the USB port of your computer or any other USB source. The flight Deck module uses four AAA batteries and connects to the headphone jack of the iPhone or iPod Touch. The Helo TC sells for $49.99(USD) and is available now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are into playing the guitar or any other instrument that has a 1/4&#8243; input on it, the StompBox from Griffin Technology will let you control the effects. The StompBox is an app and hardware combo that was announced a while back and is now finally shipping.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-62285" title="stompbox_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/stompbox_1.jpg" alt="stompbox 1" width="600" height="238" /></p>
<p><span id="more-62271"></span></p>
<p>The StompBox will work with a guitar, bass, keyboard, or electric violin. I bet it would work with one of those 80&#8242;s hair band Keytar things too. The software portion is an app from Frontier Design called <a href="http://frontierdesign.com/iShredLIVE/">iShred LIVE</a> that allows the effects to be created in real time. The hardware part is a foot switch.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-62273" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/stompbox-2.jpg" alt="stompbox 2" width="600" height="222" title="stompbox 2 photo" /></p>
<p>The foot switch has four buttons and each button can be programmed to a single effect. Once programmed the player can change between those effects using their feet so their hands are on the instrument at all times. The StompBox ships with a 1-meter long cable for hooking the iPhone or iPad to the instrument along with headphones. You can order it now for $99.99 over at the <a href="http://store.griffintechnology.com/stompbox">Griffin Technology website</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A little while back we talked a bit about the very cool looking <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/06/20/kyosho-iphone-remote-control-helicopter/">Kyosho iOS controlled helicopter</a> from Japan that had surfaced. The thing reminds me a lot of the Parrot AR.Drone in a smaller and cheaper form. The toy surfaced at the Tokyo Toy Show and if you wondered if it would be heading to the US, it seems that it will indeed.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61345" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/griffin-helotc.jpg" alt="griffin helotc" width="600" height="435" title="griffin helotc photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-61344"></span>From the looks of it when the Kyosho copter lands in the States, it may be branded as a Griffin Technology offering. The toy is dubbed the Helo TC and it still looks awesome. The white rectangle with the copter is the Griffin unit and the larger image is the Kyosho copter, and they sure look similar to me. The copter is controlled using an app that is included for your iPhone. You can fly the toy all around your home with the smartphone.</p>
<p>This one also has LED lights on it so you can see the copter as you fly around in dim rooms. I have played with toy helicopters that look like this before with a normal remote control and they fly surprisingly well and are generally robust.  The Helo TC will sell for about $56 (USD) when it lands, and should arrive in time for Christmas.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kudos are in order for Griffin. Not only is the new CarTrip a cool sounding product that works with the iPhone to allow you to monitor things about your car, but they resisted the temptation to strap an &#8220;i&#8221; in front of the product name. The <a href="http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/cartrip">CarTrip</a> is an OBD-II hardware interface that plugs into that port on most newer cars under the steering wheel.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-46748" title="griffin_cartrip_iphone_obd_ii_interface" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/griffin_cartrip_iphone_obd_ii_interface.jpg" alt="griffin cartrip iphone obd ii interface" width="600" height="230" /></p>
<p><span id="more-46741"></span></p>
<p>Once connected to your ride, you can use your iPhone to watch all sorts of information about your car as you roll around. You can run the CleanDrive App on the iPhone that analyzes data and displays it instantaneously in a graphical display. Presumably, the point is to help you drive in a greener fashion.</p>
<p>The device can also give you fuel efficiency into and the best part is that it will tell you what is really going on if your Check Engine light comes on. The CarTrip will launch &#8220;soon&#8221; and will set you back about $90 when it does. Your iPhone has to be running iOS 4.0 or higher, and the app works on other iOS devices too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My daughter had this fetish for slap bracelets for a while. You could be just walking down the hall and she would run up and slap a bracelet around your wrist hard enough to leave a red welt. Those slap bracelets disappeared mysteriously later. Griffin has unveiled a new watchband of the latest iPod nano that uses that same slap bracelet tech.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-43250  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/slap-1.jpg" alt="slap 1" width="600" height="191" title="slap 1 photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-43249"></span></p>
<p>The $24.99 <a href="http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/slap/#">Griffin Slap</a> is yet another case for the nano 6G that runs the thing into an extra geeky watch. The controls of the nano are covered for the most part when the case is on. You can access the headphone port and the touchscreen functions.</p>

<p>The edges of the case around the nano&#8217;s face are raised to offer protection to the screen. There are little nubs on the outside of the case showing you where to press for volume controls and such. You can get one  &#8220;soon&#8221; according to Griffin.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I really like my iPad and while I do take it with me at times for playing games or reading, mostly I use it around the house for watching videos and such. There are apps available that will let you use the iPad as a second screen for your Mac or PC, but for that to be effective you need some sort of a stand.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-41484" title="griffin_cabinet_mount_ipad_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/griffin_cabinet_mount_ipad_1.jpg" alt="griffin cabinet mount ipad 1" width="600" height="631" /></p>
<p><span id="more-41468"></span></p>
<p>If you have a desk that has a hutch on the back, Griffin has unveiled a new iPad cabinet mount that might be perfect for you. It will mount under, beside or on any cabinet anywhere as long as that cabinet is 14-inches deep or more. It&#8217;s also great hanging under a kitchen cabinet if you&#8217;ve got the counter clearance.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-41485  aligncenter" title="griffin_cabinet_mount_ipad_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/griffin_cabinet_mount_ipad_2.jpg" alt="griffin cabinet mount ipad 2" width="600" height="680" /></p>
<p>The mount has an articulating arm that moves through 90-degrees forward and backward allowing it to fold flat under the cabinet. The arm also rotates in a compete circle allowing it to be viewed comfortably from any angle. The iPad is held securely with specially designed grips to keep it safe.</p>
<p>Griffin&#8217;s <a href="http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/cabinet-mount-ipad#">Cabinet  Mount for iPad</a> and is available right now and sells for $69.99 (USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An iPhone or iPod touch is like catnip for kids. They get a glimpse of the phone, realize there are games close by and descend like little locusts and abscond with the device in short order. If you fear the early demise of your iPhone even if it is in a case you aren’t alone.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-39154" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/woogie-tb.jpg" alt="woogie tb" width="600" height="287" title="woogie tb photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-39153"></span></p>
<p>Griffin has unveiled a cool new case that is perfect for kids and it&#8217;s heavily padded to protect your device. The case is called <a href="http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/woogie#">Woogie</a> and looks like a stuffed green flower with six petals. In the center of the flower is a clear sleeve for you to poke your iPhone into.<!--more--><p><a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2010/09/11/griffin-woogie-iphone-case/"><strong>Click to View Embedded Video Clip</strong></a></p></p>
<p>The Woogie has a speaker built-in and power for the speaker comes from a pair of AAA batteries. Once you have the iDevice in the Woogie case it would be pretty much impossible for your kid to break your phone. You can order one up now for $19.99 (USD) and there are even books available to go with the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/woogie-sesame-street-sampler/id390675034?mt=8">Woogie App</a> in the App Store right now.</p>

<p>The new <a href="http://www.griffintechnology.com/">Griffin</a> PowerDock will come in both a two-dock ($50) and a four-dock ($70) model, and they should support all iPods with a 30-pin dock connector. Expect the quad version to ship this April, and the dual to hit in June.</p>

<p>Priced at $24.99 each, the cases are made from a mirrored-chrome polycarbonate shell. As a matter of fact, it&#8217;s so reflective that the display almost entirely vanishes when the backlight is turned off. Increasing the cool factor, the case features a contrasting matte black rubberized back to reduce fingerprints and provide a nice grip on your player. For those of you without an iPod, the Reflect is also coming soon for the SanDisk Sansa media player.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Griffin&#8217;s latest entry into the iPod accessory fray offers a unique spin on the amplified speaker/dock combos that have popped up all over the place over the last few years &#8211; wireless speakers.</p>
<div align="center"><img id="image989" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/griffin_evolve.jpg" alt="griffin evolve"  title="griffin evolve photo" /></div>
<p><a href="http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/evolve/">The Griffin Evolve Wireless Sound System</a> features an innovative docking station which not only charges your iPod, it charges two wireless cube speakers. The speakers can play up to 10 hours of music on a single charge, and can be moved up to 150 feet away from the base station. The speakers also include an automatic sleep mode to save battery power when they&#8217;re not in use.</p>
<p>An RF wireless remote is also included which can be used to control the system from wherever you are. The docking station is compatible with all iPods released since the 3g model from a few years back.</p>
<p>Priced at $349.99, the Griffin Evolve should be available by this Summer. Griffin has also introduced two other iPod new sound systems, the <a href="http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/amplifi/">Amplifi</a> ($149.99) and the <a href="http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/journi/">Journi</a> ($129.99) which are worth checking out if you don&#8217;t need wireless capabilities.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Sir, these lights keep blinking out of sequence, what should we do?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Get them to blink in sequence.&#8221; <em>- William Shatner, Airplane II, the Sequel</em></p>
<p>One of the premier makers of clean and elegant iPod accessories, Griffin Technologies, has decided to lose their minds and release a totally frivolous disco-inspired case for Apple&#8217;s ubiquitous media player.</p>
<div align="center"><img id="image545" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/griffin_disko.jpg" alt="griffin disko"  title="griffin disko photo" /></div>
<p>Sure, the <a href="http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/disko/index.php">Disko</a> case features a hard polycarbonate shell to protect your 5G or 5.5G video iPod, but the real action of the Disko is in the series of colored LEDs that activate when the player is picked up. When you move your &#8216;pod, motion sensors in the case start one of five blinking light sequences. This is clearly not a case for iPod purists, but if tacky is your thing, you can&#8217;t get better than this.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s available in either white or black variants, and priced at $29.99 USD.</p>
