While most of us with iPhones simply accept the built-in weather application for what it is, WTHR looks to improve upon the idea with a version of a clean-cut weather app. The Beautifully Simply Weather App is currently available in the App Store for $1 USD, and provides users with current local weather and seven day forecasts (in Fahrenheit or Celsius depending on preference). By the looks of it, the app appears to be even more simplified than Apple’s own version by providing users with text telling them the weather rather than simply displaying it.

Apple recently rolled out a new line of its workhouse line of MacBook Pros ($2,199.00) which many reports suggested, was more of a modest upgrade across the hardware board – except for the Retina Display. A carryover from the iPhone’s ever envious display which has seen few equals, an expansive 2880 x 1800 screen offers enough real estate for all your visual needs. While the tagline of “Innovation in every dimension” may meet some critics, the new thinner unibody design and display are elements that simply cannot be overlooked. Enjoy.

We've long thought it was stupid to hook up your iPhone to a car stereo that then makes you use its convoluted control system instead of the iPhone itself. Apparently, so did these guys. The Devium Dash ($290-$340) is a new in-dash car stereo that is built around a faceplate made to accommodate an iPhone or iPod Touch, securing it in a CNC'd aluminum and plastic cradle while giving you full access to the touchscreen and all your apps. Other features of the Dash include a double-din body, 50W x 4 output with 2 preamp outputs, and your choice of standard aluminum or anodized black or white finishes. Arriving in July.

After years of taking up way too much space or otherwise looking dorky, Bluetooth headphones are finally starting to make sense as an alternative to their wired counterparts. Take the Plantronics BackBeat Go ($100) for example. This tiny set of in-ear phones offers passive noise cancellation, inline controls for skipping tracks and adjusting volume, up to 4.5 hours of playtime per charge, and the ability to function as a Bluetooth headset.

After years of searching, we've finally found the monitoring camera we've been waiting for. Dropcam ($149) is an amazingly simple Wi-Fi video cam that lets you keep tabs on your home, business, or family from literally anywhere. Its dead-simple setup took us no more than two minutes for each camera — we were watching live footage in the time it would take us to even open another camera's packaging. You can watch your camera(s) live in your web browser or in the Dropcam app for iPhone or Android. [Read More]
