Xtand Makes iPhone Into Very Small, Underpowered iMac
Posted by Mark Wilson at 5:30 AM on May 15, 2008
The Xtand is a solid aluminium stand that not only holds your iPhone when your hands have better things to do, but does so in that "I'm an aluminium stand that looks like an iMac stand" kind of way. It's 100% fanboy gear, but we have to admit, the 360-degree rotation and cable management system (aka hole in the back) actually look kind of convenient. No word on price at this time. If only Jeff Foxworthy's career were alive right now, we could end this post with a decent "you might be an Apple fanboy if..." joke. Our condolences to his family. [JustMobile via MobilitySite]

If this had a dock piece to slide into, I'd totally grab one for the desk. Just as a cool sync/charge stand. Otherwise, lame.

Just make one out of Lego.
It'll cost less, stretch your creative muscles and you can make it into something else if you fail!
Win win!

What a waste of cash. This thing has no real purpose. It does not even charge the device.
@carmen89:
Are you sure? Think about what you're about t do. The only way out is in box... A glossy black box with a fruit logo. Think..

This might be cool for some games that don't use the accelerometer. (The Nintendo DS has a stand that's useful for some games).

@92BuickLeSabre: Rumor has it that Vanna White is actually incapable of doing anything more than following glowing squares. In fact, if she were to ever go into a retro disco hall, she'd hit the floor faster than a sack of potatoes.

And I bet Trebek knows all the questions on Jeopardy!, and Sajak knows the alphabet too.
Riiiiight.

Hey, Mark, be nice to Jeff Foxworthy. He's smarter than a Fifth Grader you know.

What's the use of this thing? If it was at all portable I could see the use of taking it on a plane to hold the iPhone while you watch movies. As it is you have to put it on a desk, a desk that would likely contain a computer and a phone that can do everthing the iPhone does better...

Too bad it doesn't adjust more, or am I missing some kind of minimalist fanboy thing where YOU have to rise to IT'S level or some bullshit?

Too bad I can't plug a keyboard and a mouse into it while on this stand, so I could finally cut/paste text.

IF Apple sucked, I might think of a funny joke too. Too bad it drinks all yer all's milkshakes. It drinks them up.

Sorry to break it to y'all, but Foxworthy is one of the,
if not the highest paid performer in the country, and I
mean the US, not the rural backwoods areas. (Cue the banjo)
NASCAR also seems to be doing inexplicably well.
If someone says apple, and you don't think pie,
you could be a Fanbois.

Looks cool but no built-in dock connection? Lame.
