Review: Arkon’s Mega Grip car docks

John Walton — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 22:36:13 +0000

Upgrading your phone is expensive. Not only does one have to fork out for the device, but many people need to buy a new bumper/case and possibly a screen protector. Depending on the audio jack, audiophiles (not me) are often required to buy docks designed specifically for a given phone. Considering how often I go [...]

You know, I hate to admit it, but the Garminfone was a flop. Not quite a Kin flop, but none-the-less, the device sold horribly. It’s a shame too, the Garminfone feels wonderful; Quite possibly one of the most solid devices on T-Mobile. A lot of people, myself included, just couldn’t get past that wonky UI. [...]

International carriers are finally starting to release their iPhone 4 plans and rates, and as more countries now have multiple providers and unlocked iPhones, does that mean things will be more competitive than ever?

In a category of vastly similar products, Scholz & Friends’s clever package design quickly distinguishes the product

Core77 — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 19:05:01 +0000

Folks, you have to wonder why no one else thought of this a long time ago:

This headphones packaging design (released last month by the European branch of Panasonic) was designed by Berlin-based Scholz & Friends, a creative agency whose motto is "Surprise! Convince!"

As Scholz & Friends explained to the Coloribus Global Advertising Archive,

The selection of earphones is huge and the products are often interchangeable. Only a packaging with a clear visual idea is able to stand out at the market among the generic packagings of the competition.
...The earphones show at first sight for whom they are made: for passionate music lovers.

...The new packaging was met with positive reactions from retailers and clients because it clearly stood out from the generic packaging of the competition. As such it helped to attract new target groups for Panasonic.
