Do you own an iPhone 4? There is no lack of accessories for any Apple product and this one is no different. Olloclip has come out with an add on lens for the iPhone 4 that will give you 3 additional lenses, a fisheye, a macro, and wide-angle. Simply slip the device over the edge of your phone where the camera is located of course and away you go. 
It almost looks like you can use one side as a viewfinder but that’s really just 2 of the 3 lenses. So there is a fish-eye lens on one side, flip the Olloclip over to the firing side of your camera and you’ll have the Wide-angle. Screw off the wide-angle lens, you’ll find the Macro-lens. The Olloclip fits snugBuilt from anodized aircraft aluminum and precision ground glass multi-element optics for the lenses. You can tilt the lens slightly on the firing side and it fits in your pocket. Seems uncomfortable at the least to have it on your iPhone 4 full time. It’s a snug fit and easy to use. There has been reports of some oddities with regard to using this device in video mode with the fisheye or wide-angle lenses, they will yield different results in perspective of your images from still shots of the same respective lens, not that this would be any major issue. The Macro-lens seem to give great results and the fisheye the wow factor as Olloclip puts it. The fisheye can create 180 degree field-of-view and the macro up to 10x. Unfortunately you cannot use this with any type of case on your iPhone 4, you’ll need to shed the case or run the phone naked, eeeek! But iPhone uses gorilla glass, according to apple this aluminosilicate glass is chemically treated to be 20x stiffer and 30x harder then plastic and more scratch resistant than ever. The price tag is $69.95 and $129.00 for a pair of them, a bit overpriced but what “Mini” item isn’t. It comes with:
Olloclip 3-in-1 lens
A cap for both sides
Microfiber lens cleaning cloth that doubles as a baggy
A users guide
Product cards
Available with Black or Red barrels - Fisheye, Macro, Wide-Angle
- Fits in your pocket

Do you hate 3D glasses? Well so do we! Watching anything 3D requires you to wear those sexy streamlined glasses they always push on you at the movies. Even then, it can be a little lackluster. Not for LG these days. Preceded by the worlds first glass-free 3D smartphone LG Optimus 3D, LG has just introduced the LG Cinema 3D DX2000 20-inch LED computer display. The largest and most recent 3D display produced at this time. This LG Cinema 3D DX2000 is an LED computer display, max resolution is 1600x900px, 5ms response time, DVI and HDMI ports. The Built-in webcam can be used for a general purpose everyday webcam as well. 
Part of the reason this hasn’t come out sooner or 3D hasn’t moved forward faster is that there was a technical limitation with 3D TV’s projecting two sets of images, one pair for each eye. The goofy glasses, their job is to arrange those images so they will synchronize and you seem to see a single image (sort of…). Older 3D TV’s did exist, but with preset viewing angles so you could watch from left or right of the TV, but you’d have to adjust the angle first. Which brings us to the LG DX2000 Display which tracks you instead of us putting on glasses to synchronize 4 pictures, (2 for each eye) so our eye’s will interpolate the chorus of pictures correctly, or not so correctly for some. This LED display comes with eye-tracking technology which will adjust the parallax-barrier 3D effect accordingly, which I suppose means: Remember those old 3D pictures that used the bending of light through plastic to layer the images and give the appearance of 3D? Apparently this LED 3D Display does it similarly, in that the web-cam will track your eye, and then adjust for the best output for the angle you are viewing the screen. Interesting to ponder the ways developers can infiltrate this technology to integrate with games or productivity, From Kinect to Apple to LG, certainly there is some new found interest in eye-tracking and recognition. The future is brighter! Priced at about $1,200.00 , release date Winter 2011 Here’s the Press Release: SEOUL, July, 13, 2011 – LG Electronics (LG) today unveiled the world’s first glasses-free monitor utilizing eye-tracking technology to maintain an optimal 3D image from a range of viewing angles. The 20-inch D2000 (Korean model: DX2000) monitor was developed as a fully functional entertainment display capable of reproducing games, movies and images in all their realistic glory. “With a full line-up of 3D TVs, laptops, projectors and smartphones, LG Electronics is by far and away the industry leader in all things 3D.” said Si-hwan Park, Vice President of the Monitor Division at LG’s Home Entertainment Company. “LG’s position has always been that 3D will and must eventually function without glasses. The D2000 is a look at what the future has in store.” The D2000′s 3D effect comes courtesy of glasses-free parallax barrier 3D technology, and the application of the world’s first eye-tracking feature to the monitor. The combination of parallax barrier and eye-tracking in a single unit promises to open up new horizons for glasses-free 3D products. Existing glasses-free 3D technologies generally require viewers to stay within a tightly restricted angle and distance to perceive the 3D images. However, the D2000 has done much to resolve this issue, allowing viewer much freer movement and more comfortable viewing. Eye tracking in the D2000 works via a special camera sensor attached to the monitor which detects changes in the user’s eye position in real-time. With this information, the monitor calculates the angle and position of the viewer and adjusts the displayed image for the optimal 3D effect. In addition to playing back existing 3D content, the D2000 has a highly refined 2D to 3D conversion feature which adds a new dimension to existing movies and game playing. The D2000, available in Korea this month, will be introduced in other markets around the world in the latter part of 2011. Technology today with, Pinstripe Magazine Related posts: - Get Framed!

I guess Jawbone doesn’t remember that they are a Wireless, Bluetooth headset and speaker company. But that didn’t stop them from releasing this smart bracelet. Yep, you heard right. Jawbone on Wednesday unveiled a trendy looking bracelet that does more then just look goofy, it will track your body’s your movement, sleep patterns and eating habits. The app that accompanies this device will analyze that info and spit back suggestions on how to better your health. But lets face it, if your lazy or fat, oops overweight, I don’t think you need a device and app to tell you get get off your fat ass and exercise more and eat less. 
The Up was designed by Yves Behar’s Fuseproject, software developed by Jeremiah Robison Jawbone’s CTO, and the sensors designed by Philipee Kahn CEO of Fullpower Technologies. Similar to Nike‘s iPod Sport Kit, or Fitbit offer bio feedback about the person’s workout, Jawbone aims to provide a seamless comfortable design that a person can wear 24/7 for a more complete report of the person. No price has been announced yet and Jawbone says that the Up device will be available by Winter 2011 Bringing you the latest in Tech, Pinstripe Magazine Related posts: - The MIX BOOMBOX iMT810 iPhone iPod Dock Altec Lansing has just released its latest boombox with epic...

If you haven’t already heard about Spotify, you haven’t read much on the internet. Spotify is an online music index of sorts, it allows you to search for and discover music, share it and stream it. Spotify has officially launched here in the United States. It claims to have more than 10 million users and 1.6 of those paying users. Music index and streaming services like these have been popping up all over town, such as Pandora, Grooveshark, Aol just launched one as well and other’s stream video like Hulu. 
Spotify, much like Grooveshark, offers a free, limited version with advertisements to help share the financial cost. With a hail of piracy issues in the entertainment industry, Spotify seems to have created buzz about their service and with their alternative to piracy could breathe a breath of air into the music sales business. With 300 employees and some heavy buzz about their launch, Spotify may just catch on here in the U.S. like it has in Europe, across Sweden, Norway, France, Finland, Britain, Spain and the Netherlands. 
There is a growing library of 13 million songs currently in Spotify’s music index and where there’s a device and internet there’s a way to stream your music. Create, save and share your playlists with friends with a familiar interface that’s pretty easy to use. A full unlimited monthly plan is offered at a reasonable $4.99 per month but this will only allow you to access from a pc and play without ads. A premium plan goes for $9.99 a month and allows access from any device, smartphones, tablets or others, also providing offline and high quality streams. Only time will tell if Spotify will outshine a Grooveshark or Pandora, but there’s a free version that you should give a go. Spotify has just launched here in the U.S. and are offering a signup for invite at: http://www.spotify.com/us/hello-america/ . iPhone and Android apps are already available and ready for download.

Are you looking for a cool pair of mens jeans that you can wear while riding your bike? We know cycling gear doesn't always look cool especially when you are just riding in the city and looking for chicks. Well, we have the perfect pair of jeans you can now wear when taking your bike for a spin. The Levi's 511 Commuter Skinny and Trucker Jacket for Cyclists are the newest Commuter Cycling products Levi's is introducing. Erik Joule, senior vice president of Levi's Men's Merchandising & Design says, "This product was born from innovation, classic American style and a personal passion for cycling – it's about designing product for people who ride bikes, by people who ride bikes. We knew that our jeans were already being worn by urban cyclists across the country, including our own designers. We listened to what they wanted and created a product with performance traits for biking that also functions as daily street style." Built around the 511™ Skinny Jean, the Levi's brand's most popular skinny fit for men, the 511™ Commuter features fabric and construction upgrades that increase mobility and durability, while protecting cyclists from the potential hazards of their daily commute. The 511™ Commuter comes in two styles – a full length and cropped version – and both denim and non-denim fabrics. The series also includes a Commuter version of the classic Levi's® Trucker Jacket, an iconic work wear style that was first introduced in 1962 and has now been updated for the modern worker who demands performance and style on and off the road. All Commuter by Levi's products blend form and function by utilizing the most cutting-edge performance apparel technologies. The Levi's brand partnered with Swiss-based Schoeller Technologies AG to be the first to introduce NanoSphere treatment into denim fabrication. NanoSphere technology makes denim fabric water resistant, dirt repellant and more durable. The Levi's brand also leveraged its own insights and superior construction techniques to make their new cycling products more commuter-friendly. Both the Commuter by Levi's Trucker Jacket and the 511™ Commuter Skinny feature just the right amount of stretch to increase mobility while maintaining their signature fit. The 511™ Commuter Skinny also features a raised back yolk that minimizes lower back gap, a reinforced crotch gusset that protects against ripping in this high stress area, double back layer pockets, a U-lock storage system and fabric reinforcements throughout. The Trucker has extra utility pockets and modifications to the sleeves, cuffs and tail that enable more comfortable movement while cycling. "As an avid cyclist myself, I am confident this line has all of the key cycling-specific performance features cyclists value, but haven't been able to find in other lifestyle clothing options," added Joule. Commuter by Levi's clothing can be found at select independent bike shops in major metro cities as well as select Levi's Stores and at levi.com. The line will also be available in select Urban Outfitters beginning in August. The 511™ Commuter Skinny and 511™ Commuter Cropped Skinny retail for $78 and the Commuter Trucker Jacket retails for $128.
