D.I.Y.va Designs Launch Party 8-19-2010

This was truly an awesome event. The perfect mix of people, sweet treats and DIY vivacity. There were quite a few business owners in attendance and folks who cherish fresh ideas with a twist. If you missed it you really should stick your head in the freezer for 23 minutes because your senses have been painfully dulled by your deprivation from HOTNESS. Not to worry DIYva Designs has much more in store in the near future. Stay Tuned!

Turn your iPod Touch into an iPhone with the Apple Peel 520

The Apple Peel 520 is a silicone rubber case that wraps around an iPod touch and straps it to a SIM card slot, a dock connector, and a battery. It is produced by startup Yosion Technology and is tentatively priced at RMB 388 apiece, or US$57 -- that’s almost 13 times cheaper than the official retail price for the Apple iPhone on the Chinese mainland. The gadget was invented by a 24-year-old Chinese graduate who felt it “inconvenient to have a mobile and an iPod Touch at the same time,” the South China Morning Post reported. Don't we all. To enable calling and texting, users would have to jailbreak their iPods to install Yosion and YsSMS apps.Here’s a translation of what Chinese reviewer PC Online has to say about the product: “Apple Peel’s tonal quality is excellent, voices came through loudly and clearly... basically there is no difference from an ordinary mobile phone.” The downsides? “Users might receive periodic blank texts if there are missed calls... the monitor failed to light up automatically when we made calls. Also, we couldn’t hang up on incoming received calls.”One of the brothers behind the firm told the South China Morning Post that once the intellectual property rights of the Apple Peel have been cleared, it'll be ready to be mass produced overnight.
