As you wander around Macworld, you see many variations on a theme.  Vendor after vendor with iPhone caes in every configuration possible were there. You saw several vendors selling the new gloves that work on the iPhone or iPod touch screen at several booths.  App vendors were everywhere. But I came upon one booth that was selling some new and innovative items which made them stand out from the rest. The company was XSKN.

When GSM first came out I was intrigued by its promise of having a phone that would work all over the world, wherever there was GSM coverage. I thought it'd be a little bit like those old global dial-up systems where all you had to do was put in your AOL account name, and the modem calls made in Osaka or Taipei or wherever became all local calls, included in my fixed monthly AOL fee. And as someone who frequently checked out all sorts of phone-enabled hardware, I liked the idea of a little SIM card that I could pop into any phone or communicator to make it work and act like my phone.

 Well, you already know from a previous post that I love my cases. So it will not be any surprise to you then when I say that I bought a new one. I had an Apple gift card burning a hole in my pocket so I took a trip to the store. I purchased a Speck CandyShell case for my touch. I have been using it for a week now and love it. I am not going to review it in detail because there are so many of them published already. I did my fair amount of research though before making the purchase. The only thing I will say is that I am concerned with the little strip on the edge between the connectors and the front. I say that because I think it is very flimsy and may be the weakest part of the design. Will it break, who knows?

How many times have you been out in the cold and had to remove a glove to use your iPhone or iPod touch? There have been several vendors at Macworld that are showing winter gloves that allow you to use your iPhone or iPod touch without having to take off your gloves and risk frostbite.  iTouch Gloves has taken the concept to a whole new level.

I've seen lots of iPhone and iPod touch mounts here at Macworld but this is one of the more unusual.  It's a mount that you place on your thigh called a Thiphone (accent mark over the i).  It has a suction cup for your device While it may seem a bit odd at first, it really has many uses. If you commute and want a stable place for your iPhone, just stick it on and go.  It's really handy for frequent flyers, the disabled, and private pilots who need to have their iPhone near them at all times.  They cost $24.95 and can be  bought through their website www.thiphone.com

I got a chance to look at and talk to the developer of the StarGazer and StarVoyager iPhone apps at Macworld today.  These are amazing apps for those who are interested in the nighttime sky.  The company took the essentials of their desktop astronomy applications and adapted them for the iPhone.
