Mobile Tech Toys You Have To See To Believe
Like it or not, Mobile devices are the new Lego. In fact, even Lego is taking note by pushing its toys into the mobile age with the Life of George iPhone app, which combines a digital and physical gaming experience. But the true beauty of mobile is that it can serve as the platform for tech toys even for big kids. For those who love their mobile devices as much as we do, I’ve compiled a collection of some of the hottest, must have mobile tech toys money can buy. From video projectors to wall climbing cars and iPhone powered rocket launchers, here’s the best of the best that’s available right now.
iPhone Projector
Watching movies on a big screen straight from my iPhone has always been a dream of mine. The Brookstone Pocket Projector for iPhone could be the answer I’ve been looking for. The device is a micro projector that simply requires you to slide your iPhone into and run whatever media you choose through it. The Brookstone Pocket Projector runs at a resolution of 640*360 (which is a little low for big screen fun) and will display an image of up to 50 inches. Focus adjustment lets you control image clarity while the integrated 0.5W speaker delivers the audio.
iPhone-Powered Rocket Launcher
In totally ridiculous gadget, I present to you The iLaunch Thunder, which as the name says lets you shoot out 4 rockets at your innocent victims. The iLaunch Thunder has a 270-degree horizontal rotation, and vertical flexibility of more than 40 degrees. Couple the device’s directional skills with the launcher’s 25-foot (7.6-meter) shooting distance, and you can cover close to 1,400 square feet (130 square meters) of space with the toy.

Positioning your missiles is controlled within the iLaunch Controller app on your iDevice. The iW500 sells for about $59.95, making it a fun and affordable option for those wanting something iGeeky.
The iW500 Wall-Climbing Car
Flying drones are so 2011. Wall climbing vehicles is where it’s at. Besides being controlled straight from your iPhone, the iW500 RC car also distinguishes itself in its ability to climb straight up walls, spidey style. The company producing this toy says the iW500 uses “the opposite principle of the hovercratft and creates a sealed vacuum between itself and the wall or ceiling.” That sounds like some pretty cool right? Has to make you wonder why automobile manufacturers aren’t doing this kind of stuff
Maybe then the automotive industry would be in better shape.
The Soundbar for Android
The Philips CSS5123 is a sleek looking slim speaker that’s the perfect width to sit under a flat panel HDTV. The soundbar uses Android programming to connect wirelessly with devices such as an Android tablet or phone, and even a PC running Windows or iOS operating systems. Here’s how it works; Android streaming is possible for any DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance)-enabled device with the Philips app SimplyShare and Wi-Fi functionality.

SimplyShare is an Android app provided by Philips to connect Philips devices to the home network or other devices and share content. Each compatible device, such as the soundbar, comes with an activation code that unlocks the device for connectivity. In this case SimplyShare installed on an Android tablet or PC will uses the unlock code to connect with the soundbar and stream content to the TV. Easy and straightforward, just the way I like it.
