iDrift to iDrive Your iPad

by Jay Garrett on February 1, 2010

It’s not even a week ago since the iPad was officially announced and already little iAdd-ons are appearing.

Michael Greenberg’s iDrift is a simple steering wheel that encases the new Apple tablet

This is a great idea for driving games I guess and a lot more straight-forward to produce when compared to the Wii’s wheel.

What do you think? Would you be slotting your iTablet into the iDrift?

Maplock – GPS Anti-theft Device for Those Stupid Enough to Leave it on Their Windscreen

by Jay Garrett on December 4, 2009

gpsmaplockCorrect me if I’m wrong.

Most GPS devices are portable. They’ll slip into your hand/man bag, pocket, or at least into your cars locking glovebox.

The fact that even when people remove their TomTom or Garmin and shove it under their car-seat (yeah – I know your secret hiding place!) they leave the dock on their windscreen. Now, I’m not a thief but even I’d see that as a flag that commands ‘Chances are there’s a GPS hidden under the drivers seat’!

Even when folk do remove the cradle they leave the tale-tale ring mark left by the sucker. Suckers!

Maplock is here to prevent your GPS going walkies whilst pandering to the laziness of most motorists.

Maplock simply hooks onto your GPS and tethers it to your steering wheel.

The clever anti-theft idea is just like those steering-wheel locks and comes from Australian-based Who-Rae, and recently won Popular Mechanic’s Editor’s Choice award at the SEMA car show.

There’s no word on pricing or availability as yet.
