Mogees iPhone-connected sensor turns any object into a playable instrument

I’m not musically inclined. Nor do I pretend to be. Give me a Rock Band Drum Kit and I’ll get after it, but otherwise, instruments are completely intimidating. Like many of you out there, I enjoy tapping my pencil along to the beat or playing the bongos on my desk to my favorite song. If only there was a way to translate that into real music…

That’s where Mogees comes in. A simple iPhone add-on that detects vibration and translates it into music. So your desk full of accessories instantly becomes a drum kit. Or a kitchen sink is suddenly transformed into a synthesizer. The opportunities are endless…

Target ad leak reveals planned Apple Watch discount for iPhone purchasers


After launching Apple Watch just last week, a recent ad leak suggests that Target is already planning to discount the wearable. The deal extends a savings of 10% to any Apple Watch when purchased alongside an iPhone 6s or 6s Plus starting this Sunday, November 1st.

Usually these types of bundles that require iPhone activation are pretty meh, but this one is noteworthy since iPhone 6s is still brand new. If you go with the most expensive Apple Watch Target sells, this promo will save you $69.90. REDcard holders save an additional 5% on their order. This is the first Apple Watch discount we’ve seen from a major retailer. Target has also knocked $20 off the 2-year contract pricing for Verizon and Sprint iPhone 6s/Plus 16GB models.

The new Gamevice MFi game controllers will fit your iPad Air and iPhone 6s just right

There is a wide selection of MFi game controllers out there, most of which enhance many of the games we play everyday on our iOS devices.

Camera+ launches its first free version w/ in-app upgrades for advanced shooting features

Makers of the popular Camera+ app, a $3 third-party photography app for iPhone with around 14 million users, today launched its first free version in an attempt to attract even more users to the platform.

Dubbed simply “Camera+ Free,” the app’s creator gave us the rundown on the free experience, noting that it offers the same experience as the paid app minus some of the more advanced features like manual shooting controls and the app’s “The Lab” editing suite. Instead, the free app offers up focus, exposure and macro shooting settings, scene modes including clarity, and 3 free filter packs. Beyond that, users will be able to add-on some of the more advanced features to the free version using in-app purchases, allowing them to essentially unlock the full experience of the paid app.

We want to get the app out to as many people as possible. We currently have 14 million users, but we’d love to see more people using and falling in love with our app. We think by offering people a free version, more people who typically don’t pay for apps will give it a try. If they like it then they may buy some in-apps or just spread the word about our app. – Camera+ cofounder Lisa Bettany

The free version of the Camera+ app is available on the App Store now.

2K iOS Strategy Bundle: Civ Rev 2, XCOM Enemy Within & Sid Meier’s Starships for $20 ($35 value)

Well-known developer 2K is stepping into the iOS bundle game for the first time starting today. These app packages tend to bring some great value and the new 2K Editors’ Choice Strategy Bundle is no exception.

2K has a long list of great sports titles on the App Store, but it is the company’s well known strategy games that are getting the nod this time around. The new bundle includes Civilization Revolution 2, XCOM: Enemy Within and Sid Meier’s Starships for $19.99.

The three Apple’s Editors’ Choice Award winners carry a combined regular price of $35 on the App Store, bringing you a savings of $15 with the bundle. We have seen XCOM and Civ Rev 2 drop to $5 each, and Starships to $9 for a combined all-time low of $19. However, we’ve never seen them this low all at the same time, as Starships only hit $9 once for a short period a couple months ago.

2K says the bundle will be discounted “for a limited time starting today,” so be sure to jump on this one if you’re interested in these titles.

As usual, you’ll find all the best game/app deals in our roundups every morning. Our favorite password management app, 1Password for Mac, dropped to $35 or $28 with .edu (Reg. $50) this morning, iOS action-RPG Transistor got its first price drop recently, and here’s everything you need to know about Star Wars Battlefront.

2K today announced the Company will bring its first iOS bundle to the App Store with release of the 2K Editors’ Choice Strategy Bundle. The bundle includes three popular titles from Firaxis Games, all of which are recipients of Apple’s Editors’ Choice Award – Sid Meier’s Civilization® Revolution™ 2, XCOM®: Enemy Within and Sid Meier’s Starships™. The 2K Editor’s Choice Strategy Bundle is available for a limited time starting today, Thursday, September 3 for the reduced price of $19.99, a 60 percent savings versus individual content purchases.

Dyconn iPhone 6 Battery Case & Pair of Wireless Charging Stations: $60 Shipped (Orig. $115, CA Tax Only)

Site default logo image

The iPhone 6 is a brilliant phone, but quite a thirsty one. To help keep yours powered at all times and avoid those unpleasant batter-panic moments, gadgetnewsonline Specials is offering a bundle with a Dyconn Battery Case and two Charging Stands for $60 shipped.

The case triples the battery life of Apple’s handset, and adds plenty of protection. It is shock-resistant and grippy, while the curved shape makes it comfortable in the hand. It is also impressively lightweight, at only four ounces, and aesthetically pleasing. But the best part is that you can wirelessly charge this external battery by placing your phone on one of the two included stands. Your phone is held upright, which is great for using it while it refuels. The two-pack means you can keep one by your bed, and the other on your desk.

This Dyconn kit is normally priced at $115, so the deal takes 47% off, with free shipping to the Continental US.
