Griffin PowerDock 2 charges iPhones and iPods two-at-a-time

, Peripherals, Portable Audio, Portable Video

In case you’re not swimming in Apple gear just yet (wait ’til the kids come…), Griffin Technology has just released a more modest solution to charging “just” a pair of iPhones / iPods or one of each. The two-port PowerDock 2 features a pair of universal docks and a collection of dock inserts to ensure that almost every iPod (and the iPhone) can get a seat at the table. It’s available as we speak for $49.95.

We’ve already seen Sanyo dish out this duo in Japan under slightly different model names, but Americans who were bawling at the thought of having to fly to Tokyo in order to grab one can put away those tears. The outfit has just unleashed the PLC-XC55 (3,100 lumens) and the PLC-XC50 (2,600 lumens) here in the States, both of which feature a 1,024 x 768 resolution and Sanyo’s own Active Maintenance Filter (AMF) system. These two mark the first “portable PJs” to be equipped with such a system, and if you’re interested in knowing — we know, you’re on the edge of your Aeron — it also boasts a built-in 7-watt speaker, DVI / VGA / component / S-Video / composite sockets and audio in / out jacks. Both units are landing in July, with the XC55 demanding $1,995 and the XC50 stickered at $1,495.

If you’ve been wondering just how you’re going to play Guitar Hero on the DS, the answer is upon you. For the extreme in cringe-worthy videos, we present the Guitar Hero: On Tour promo, replete with some of the worst faux-rock music and singing your ears and eyes have ever been subjected to. If this doesn’t make you want to impale yourself on the nearest sharp object, nothing will. We’re not sure if they were going for irony here — all we see is fail… oh, and the game looks pretty impossible to play too. Video after the break.

Shortly after hearing TiVo’s top dog speak of a “whole home model” to reduce the amount of STBs required for entertaining individuals in various rooms, along comes Time Warner Cable’s chief executive talking up some innovation of its own. We’ll be frank — we’re not entirely sure what Glenn Britt is getting at here, but through a broken series of quotes, we’re led to believe that the carrier is prepping some “equipment” that will easily bring internet content to TVs. Not like there isn’t a perfect solution for this quandary already, but we digress. Specifically, he mentions a ” new wireless cable modem that will allow you to network everything in your house,” which is about as broad / vague as you can get. Nevertheless, it’s enough to keep us watchin’, though we can’t say our expectations are extraordinarily high. [Disclosure: Engadget is part of the Time Warner family]

E Ball’s inflatable golf simulator saves you greens fees

Never mind paying absurd quantities of cash to have some swing analyzer tell you how you’ll never be like Tiger — just pick yourself up one of these concoctions. E Ball’s inflatable golf simulator not only consumes your entire backyard, it takes you back to those glory days of frolicking at the fair with your BFF, and it even allows you to practice your game in less-than-flawless weather. The device enables amateurs to work on their driving and putting, all without having to fetch balls afterwards or deal with the embarrassment of completely hacking it up in front of your more seasoned pals. It looks as if you’ll have to ring up E Ball in order to get pricing details, but we don’t envision this one coming in cheap.

We’re pretty certain the world’s big enough for the both of ‘em, but a graphene-polymer hybrid developed by a brilliant team from Northwestern University could prove to be a suitable — and much cheaper — alternative to polymer-infused carbon nanotubes. Put simply, graphite can be purchased for dollars per pound, while single-walled nanotubes are hundreds of dollars per gram. A breakthrough has found that tough, lightweight materials can be created by “spreading a small amount of graphene, a single-layer flat sheet of carbon atoms, throughout polymers,” and these composites could eventually be used to make lighter car and airplane parts (among other things). We won’t kid you, there’s a lot of technobabble in the read link below, but it’s well worth the read if your inner nerd is up for it.
