BulletTrain Express Keyboard: MacBook, Meet Desktop Mac

I bought an iMac about a month ago. It’s a great machine, it’s sexy and it’s powerful. Still, when I’m working on it I do miss one thing: they keyboard and trackpad configuration of the MacBook Pro. Having a full-size keyboard above the trackpad is undoubtedly more comfortable than having to constantly switch from the keyboard to a Magic Trackpad on its side. Placing the Magic Trackpad under the keyboard doesn’t help either as it’ll end up moving and sliding on your desk.

So what we have here is possibly the coolest gadget we’ve covered on MacStories in a while: the BulletTrain Express Keyboard is a solid aluminum platform that can embed a Magic Trackpad and an Apple keyboard, all in one single and ergonomic surface. Read more

Charge Your iPhone 4 Wirelessly with the PowerMat

If you’ve ever wished to charge your precious iPhone 4 wirelessly without the need of plugging that ugly white cable into Ive’s metal washed in unicorn tears, heck - you need a PowerMat.

Not Your Ordinary $100 iPhone Stand

What’s $100 to a loyal Apple supporter like yourself? Instead of keeping that Benjamin tucked away in your wallet, why not use it as an iPhone or iPod Touch stand?

In this dated YouTube video from December 2007, photographer Enrique Pardo uses his origami skills to fold a $100 bill into a stand for an iPhone or iPod touch. Those of you on a budget, go for a Lincoln or even a Washington, but make sure it’s nice and crisp. [via TUAW] Read more

iPad’s Newest Accessory - iArm

Is having only 2 arms not good enough for you iPad users? What if I said that you can add a third arm for only $8? That’s right, I said $8! “Wow, Chris, that is such an amazing deal, I would pay upwards of $100 for that” said Federico Viticci. Okay, enough of the pitchman talk. It’s a good thing it’s only a prank pack product (or we’d all buy one); you can order this but it’s only a gift box, no actual iArm ships. Prank Pack’s slogan is “Genuine Fake Gift Boxes.” Sample images after the break. Read more
