Be the Photo With Belkin's iPhone Camera Remote

Kelly Schwarze — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 12:45:06 PST

The months of November and December mean endless clicks of group photos, and since a survey of cameras on Flickr shows the iPhone 4S is the second most popular camera on the photo site, it's likely someone will be an iPhotographer at holiday events. Instead of drawing straws for who gets left out of each shot, hook up an iPhone to this Belkin LiveAction camera remote ($50) to include everyone in the photo fun.

Compatible with iPhone 4 and iPod touch cameras, the remote acts as a full mini camera kit since it also comes with a detachable camera stand and can even switch between photo and video functions. Use the Bluetooth-enabled remote to activate the shutter from up to 30 feet away from the device. The remote requires Belkin's own LiveAction app to operate with the camera, but it is available for free in the App Store.

Now that Apple has begun its free iPhone 4 case program, the only real question you have to ask yourself is "Which one do I choose?" Although the selection comes with a very limited color palette (they're all black), there are some familiar and well-loved names on the list. Belkin, Incase, and Griffin all make appearances, and they're all bringing great features to the table. Take for example the Incase Snap Case in Smoke (pictured here) - it's not even out yet, so you'd be one of the first to order this particular accessory.

GeekSugar — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 09:30:53 PDT

Going green is easy these days - with all the eco-conscious gadgets out there, it's impossible to turn a blind eye. And why would you? You save money, energy, and the planet all at once. Coming in hot and heavy on the green scene is Belkin's latest entry, the Conserve Valet ($40). This charger juices up your gadgets when they need a fill, then does you solid by stopping the flow of power from your outlet, similarly to AT&T's Zero. Say "bye-bye" to vampire power! Not only that, but the Valet is USB-compatible, powers up to four devices at once, and it senses when you've attached a new gadget, allowing the electricity to flow.

Take care of all your gadget power needs with this all-in-one, neat and tidy charging station, and feed your conscience some good vibes at the same time. You can preorder the Conserve Valet now at Amazon.

GeekSugar — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 12:15:12 PDT

Though the iPhone 4 is barely out the door, there are already plenty of options introduced to encase your brand-new phone in a layer of protection. Not since its introduction has there been such a need for brand-new cases - while your new 3GS or even new 3G could fit reasonably well inside of most previous-generation cases, the iPhone 4's all-new design calls for an all-new crop of cases.

Joining the list of offerings is Belkin's line of iPhone 4 cases. Ranging in price from $25 to $30, the cool, sophisticated cases provide lots of options for protecting your device. There's the classy, professional Verve Folio and Verve Sleeve (both $30), the trendy Shield Fusion ($25), the sure-to-be-popular clear Grip Vue ($25), and more!

There are even more images after the break, so keep reading.

Play Music From Your Phone Wirelessly On Your Home Stereo

GeekSugar — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 13:15:18 PST

This is one of those products that I'm surprised didn't exist sooner. I love carrying a ton of music on my phone, but when I'm at home I don't want to listen to my tunes on tiny computer speakers. And of course, the fewer wires, the better, right? The Belkin Bluetooth Music Receiver is a Bluetooth device that plugs into your stereo speakers and plays MP3s wirelessly from your phone (or any Bluetooth-enabled device). It's priced at an affordable $50, and the receiver works with any Bluetooth-enabled phone. (Yay! A wireless way to play music that's not iPhone specific!)

The receiver will remember up to six different device pairings and works from up to 33 feet away. I'm definitely excited to snatch one of these gadgets up as soon as possible!
