V=stand stands tall

Juniper Foo | Feb 04, 2008

Here I was, having coffee with a relation one afternoon when "crra-ack" went his BlackBerry. Fortunately, it wasn't the sound of his device breaking (though one can easily bet that he'd be delirious to see the last of his 24/7 BlackBerry). Instead, it was a little plastic thingamajib stuck to the back of his gadget. Since it didn't seem to belong, the next question popped up. "What's that?"

Turns out some firm has been trying to market its made-in-Singapore V=stand to companies. Measuring 2.5 x 5.2cm, this little gizmo sticks onto the back of any portable device--be it your MP3 player, mobile phone or PDA--to give it instant "prop up" status. The adhesive is quite strong, having seen a demo of its sticking power. And once applied, it protrudes from the back of the device which may not be to everyone's liking.

But otherwise, those without a docking cradle for their device may find this a cheap and neat solution, with eight adjustable angles to play with. There's just one catch. I.Q. Innovations is retailing this wholesale only. Bummer. (Update: The company is in talks to put this on shop shelves after the Lunar New Year, so that's a bit of good news)

I've got one on my P990i, kinda transformed my phone to a cool standup Cisco or Linksys IP phone. Heard AddOn Systems are retailing it through their outlet in Funan IT Mall.

What a great product. I have two, one for my blackberry, which makes conference calls easier and the other on my brand new video Ipod.
