Elgato Makes Smart Charger for Your SmartPhone

Posted on by

Elgato Smart Power ChargerElgato has released a smart charger to go along with your smart phone with the Smart Power portable charger. This portable charger will connect to your iPhone via Bluetooth and an iOS app and provide information on the portable charger’s status whereabouts.

The actually charging still happens through a USB cord and the Smart Power holds enough juice to charge or iPhone 3 times. It can also charge other mobile devices with a USB connection. What sets this product apart is that it lets you know how much battery is left in it through the iOS app interface and will give you a reminder to plug it in and charge it up before you go places. Given access, the app can also be integrated with your calendar to identify busy days that you would be reminded to bring the portable charger along.

Some nice additional features provide information of how many charges are left, and when the SmartPower is charging it will tell you how long until it’s fully charged. It will even play a sound when prompted by the associated app if you are having trouble finding it.

The Smart Power charger has a 6000 mAh capacity and delivers an output current up to 2.4 amps through USB. It measures 3.3 x 3.3 x 0.9 inches and weighs in at a little over 5 ounces. The iOS app is available on the App Store and the device goes for $99.95 USD. According to the website will be “coming soon”.

Elgato EyeTV Mobile ships to the US, brings Dyle live TV tuning to data cap-dodging iOS users

Elgato EyeTV Mobile brings Dyle live TV tuning to data capdodging iOS devices

We've only seen periodic attempts at melding live ATSC-Mobile TV with iOS devices; more often than not, internet-free broadcasting to American smartphones and tablets has been the domain of Android. Elgato is seeking some balance by shipping one of the few peripherals delivering over-the-air US TV to our iPhones and iPads. The new version of the EyeTV Mobile dongle gives iOS devices with 30-pin connectors (or an adapter) access to live TV stations under Dyle Mobile TV's service umbrella, including some local Fox and NBC channels. A free EyeTV Mobile app is part and parcel of the strategy with an option to pause live shows as well as a programming guide. The add-on is in US stores now for $100, although it could pay for itself in an era when carriers want to stifle unlimited data and make streaming TV an expensive proposition.

Elgato EyeTV Mobile And EyeTV Micro TV Dongles For iOS And Android Devices

Elgato has recently introduced the new EyeTV Mobile and EyeTV Micro TV dongles. The EyeTV Mobile is a redesigned and smaller model of its highly acclaimed DVB-T TV tuner designed for iOS devices, while the EyeTV Micro is an ultra-compact DVB-T TV tuner for Android devices. The EyeTV Mobile can be used with different aerials to get the best possible reception both on-the-go and at home. It is compatible with the new iPad (3rd generation), iPad 2, and iPhone 4S. The EyeTV Micro will turn your Android tablets or smartphones into digital TVs. The device connects to your Android gadgets via the micro USB port. Alternatively, the EyeTV Micro can be connected to a computer using the included USB adapter cable, and Mac or PC software. It is compatible with any Android device with a dual-core CPU, NEON support and Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system. The Elgato EyeTV Mobile and Micro will be launched later this month for £89.95() and £54.95(), respectively. [Engadget]

Elgato outs smaller EyeTV Mobile for iPhones and iPads, EyeTV Micro for Android

It was at the last IFA we got some time with Elgato's EyeTV Mobile for the iPad, and this year they're at it again with a redesigned iDongle and a brand new model for Android gear. The smaller EyeTV Mobile will have you watching DVB-T broadcasts on your iPhone 4S or iPad (2 or new), while the EyeTV Micro swaps Apple's dock connector for, you guessed it, microUSB. Not all Android devices support the Micro -- you'll need a dual-core CPU, Neon support and at least the 4.0.3 build of ICS. That said, the Micro's a generous little chap, as you can use the included USB cable to hook it up to your PC or Mac and get your TV fix on bigger screens, too. Both peripherals can be used with myriad aerials to meet your reception needs, provided you're in Europe, of course. The Mobile and Micro will be available in September for £89.95 and £54.95 (around $143 and $87), respectively, and we hope to see one on the show floor before IFA 2012 is done, so stay tuned.

Elgato Game Capture HD hands-on

Elgato Game Capture HD handson

Elgato first announced its Game Capture HD device mere weeks ago, but since the thing went on sale earlier this month, we hadn't gotten a chance to see it in the flesh. Naturally, given E3's all-things-gaming nature, Elgato brought the device to E3 and we got a chance to get our hands on one. In case you forgot, the Game Capture HD's a lightweight, palm-sized device that plugs in between your Xbox or PS3 and your TV to capture footage of you pwning family and friends. It then converts the footage into Elgato's preferred H.264 format and dumps it on your PC or Mac so you can share your gaming exploits with the world. Still not ready to drop $200 on the thing? Perhaps our gallery of pics can persuade you.

Elgato announces Game Capture HD, shows off your deathmatch prowess in H.264

Elgato is releasing the Game Capture HD, a device that lets game-casters and YouTube walkthrough mavens shed low-resolution, over-the-shoulder smartphone footage once and for all. The sleek black box sits between console and display, enabling gamers to record their speed runs and kill records for the world to see. Xbox 360 users can daisy-chain the gear into their HDMI set-up, while PS3 users will have to use the bundled AV cable to circumvent Sony's stronger copy protection. The footage will then be compressed with the company's H.264 know-how and pushed to your PC or Mac for uploading. When it arrives at the start of June, it'll set you back $200 -- just giving you enough time to get practicing your soothing and confident narration voice.
