Plug Android phones into iPhone docks with DockBoss+

In my kitchen, we have the Altec Lansing speaker dock large, the host for my iPhone and the kids play "iPod. But my wife was sitting quietly on the edge of the Android phone, unable to interact with the standard docking station, Apple-only 30-pin connector.

The same goes for the car: This is an iPod / iPhone connector in the glove compartment, but no interface for all supported Android.

Enter DockBoss CableJive +, a special adapter cable that Android device from your micro USB port and headphone jack on each 30-pin docking connector or cable runs. This is potentially a killer solution to pair with speakers and a docking port the same car.

The + DockBoss not limited to the Android phone, but can with almost any device with a micro USB port and headphone jack should work. Audio from the latter, the transmission power delivered to the former. In other words, the cable you can recharge your device when using it.

Now the bad news: The DockBoss + cost $ 29.95. That's pretty steep when you consider that most docking speakers have a line-in jack, which is any cell phone or MP3 player can be connected to a patch cable $ 3. Then just connect your regular charger and enjoy the same benefits provided by DockBoss +.

This means that not all Apple Connections (especially cars) are very easy to circumvent. If you have been looking for ways for your Android device on your iDevice accessories to bring a professional, this will definitely do the trick.

Your thoughts? Is this some kind of comfort is worth $ 30, or you think it is a small price to pay for cable - no cable?

Facebook Apps Can Now Embed Content In Your Profile (Again)

If you have been on Facebook for more than a year or two, you might remember it was possible to embed third-party applications in your profile. Initially it is possible to actually embed a widget application on your profile (remember when everyone has a picture of Graffiti?), But they were then relegated to a separate tab because they lead to a MySpace-like chaos. And finally, they were removed from the profile entirely.

Today during his keynote at f8, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has just announced that Facebook applications will be introduced back into the user profile as part of a new Timelines feature (which, as is the case, make your profile look a lot like Tumblr blogs).

Zucerkberg explained that people want to use the application to express themselves on their profiles - but that Facebook should look for ways to keep them from becoming heavy.

That's where the entrance Timeline application will now be able to make a post Timeline that looks like a writing made ​​within Facebook itself (such as uploading photos). We only saw them briefly on the screen, but they seem to fit in quite well without a widget looks like a foreigner. We will update with old photos.
