On top of that, Mac users need a copy of Roxio Toast 10 Titanium in order to get the software to work, and at this stage it only supports streaming photos and music to your TiVo – not any of the other functions.

We’ve contacted TiVo for comment on the pricing structure and are waiting for their response. But this is exactly the kind of pricing that would turn me away from TiVo (if I didn’t have an iQ2 for the Super 14 and the Comedy Channel). What about you guys?

The Price: About $2 per pair.

The Verdict: Pretty good! I usually hate this rubbery add-on stuff that fattens up a sleekly designed gadget, but I have to admit, playing both the PS3 and Xbox 360 felt better with the caps than without. The texture isn’t just more sticky, it also has a few nubs that support your thumbs as they push the sticks farther off centre. (In picture above, left stick is capped, right is normal.) And the covers don’t add too much bulk, either, even though the first few minutes of testing were definitely a strange sensation.

So do I play better with the Caps4Stix? No clue. But they aren’t just a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. They are more like a subtle improvement on something that you’d never have realised was broken. Like a fix to a carbon monoxide leak if carbon monoxide just burned off a few brain cells instead of killing you.

Now if only you could buy them in a colour other than black to match the 360 controller… [Caps4Stix]

The good news is that they’ll still continue to support and repair your player based on the standard warranty, but chances are you’ll get little future use out of that player now that no movies will be made for it. What’s still unclear is whether there will ever be a Blu-ray add-on to the 360 that’s cheap enough to sell the Xbox + Blu-ray package at a comparable price to the PS3 (US$399ish). We’re guessing that something along these lines will hit within the year. [Gamerscreblog]

iSkin has a futuristically styled case, the “revo,” silicone with an embedded antimicrobial agent to keep you healthy as you fling your iPhone into germ-infested situations. Revo also includes “a touch-compatible privacy film and a ViSOR, an ultra-clear polycarbonate scratch resistant screen guard for the large iPhone screen.” It will set you back US$39.99.

DLO Jam Jacket – US$24.99 – It’s a silicone case that comes in Black, Blue, Pink and Frost. There’s a “headset management system” (that is, a few hooks so the wire doesn’t tangle up). DLO promises “total access to iPhone controls” too.

DLO HipCase – $34.99 – For gentlemen who like to wear their phones on their belts (if not their pride on their sleeves). This leather flip-up case provides access to iPhone headset jack, even when closed.

DLO says an Action Jacket to protect iPhone from sweat is coming, along with updated iPhone compatible hardware such as an AutoCharger and a TransDock Deluxe with steering wheel-mounted remote control.

XtremeMac steps up with its first hardware, the US$19.95 InCharge Auto car charger that boasts the official “Works With iPhone” seal of approval. By coincidence, it’s also “Made for iPod.”
