The iPhone is so cool that you’d wait in line for three days to get the latest version, only to drop it and crack the screen within a week. Why not protect your investment with the iPhone case equivalent of Prez Obama’s armored Cadillac One? Check out Brooklyn’s own EXOvault’s line of hardcore protective metal cases and get rid of that cheap plastic case that is so 2009.

With so many app’s available the few really great ones can get lost in the shuffle. To help showcase some of the best produced and designed iPhone app’s comes the app.itize.us website. As the site says “app.itize.us is a painstakingly curated presentation of the best of the best designed iPhone apps that are available via the app store (for free or paid). it is intentionally a very small hand picked selection compared to what is currently available via the app store (now upwards of 140k) due to the fact that its very difficult to find many of these apps since they are not part of any of the top rated/grossing lists.”

Hearing the out cry of real photographers everywhere, the brand is releasing a modernized version of the OneStep PIC 1000 camera and ten packs of the 600 film. The cameras set to sell for under $100., should be in stores by years end! The new version of the PIC 1000 will be available in a variety of finishes, including the wood design shown above.
Supported by a strategic relationship with Summit Global Group, a longtime Polaroid partner, and The Impossible Project, the manufacturer of classic film for Polaroid film cameras, Polaroid will offer a completely redesigned, modern version of the Polaroid OneStep camera, the PIC 1000. The PIC 1000 will be available in a range of fun colors and use classic Polaroid Color 600 Instant Film to produce the brand’s classic white border instant pictures.

Twitter just might have a few more tricks up its sleeves. Square, the new startup from co-founder Jack Dorsey is a mobile payments company that “allows anybody with a cell phone or laptop that has a headphone jack to accept credit card payments using a small plug-in dongle, rather than having to purchase costly credit-card processing equipment.” Right now Square is being tested amongst a handful of companies, but is expected to aggressively expand in 2010. Square is an ideal product for any small business, or artists selling their works on the street to complete their transaction there and then. Currently there is no word on how much the device will cost.
