<p>You have to check this out.  Wired thinks <a href="http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/09/itwinge-keyboard-turns-iphone-into-blackberry/">it may be a hoax</a>.  This is the iTwinge, due out in November.  This slips over your iPhone keyboard and gives it the typing functionality of a Blackberry.</p>
<p><img src="http://iphone.ironinkmedia.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/itwinge-300x189.jpg" alt="itwinge" title="itwinge" width="300" height="189" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-642" /></p>
<p>You can better believe we filed this under &#8220;worthless iPhone accessories.&#8221;  Twice.  </p>
<p>Think about it, for $30 you really want to slide this thing on to your iPhone so you can type?  And remember, when you are done typing and want to get into Safari, your iPod, Mail, phone or whatever the hell else you have at the bottom of your phone, you have to slide it off again. </p>
<p>Imagine sending your friend a text message after just sliding the iTwinge onto your phone (it&#8217;s something else to carry too, keep that in mind).  Now you want to go to the internet.  You take the iTwinge off and click on Safari.  Now you need to type the address of the website you want, so you slide it back on.  This sound like fun?  Doesn&#8217;t to us either.</p>
<p>Thanks, Mobile Mechatronics!  </p>

<p>Ok so this Sandwich Dynamics company <a href="http://www.macworld.com/article/139968/2009/04/birdhouse.html">released their first app</a> and it&#8217;s called Birdhouse.  It&#8217;s essentially a Twitter app that lets you jot down your tweet thoughts so you can post them later.  It works with multiple accounts, let&#8217;s you save drafts and even rank your tweets so you know which ones are most important when it&#8217;s time to post them.</p>
<p>Sounds sorta neat, right?  Maybe?  So why I have categorized this as a worthless iPhone accessory?  Because it is.</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t read other people&#8217;s tweets, so this is not an app that will replace your Twitterific or whatever the hell it is you use.  Also?  It&#8217;s four-frigging dollars.  $4??  Really?  Why would I pay that much money for a Twitter notepad?  </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t get it.</p>

<p>On Twitter today (are you on? follow me @Lindsey651) I saw someone giving away a MovieWedge &#8220;iPhone stand.&#8221; I have never had the need for a stand, but I also don&#8217;t watch movies on the iPhone. And when watching YouTube clips I am able to muster the strength to hold the phone on my own. Still, being curious I checked it out.</p>
<p>I headed over to the MovieWedge <a href="http://www.moviewedge.com">website</a> and quickly realized it&#8217;s a beanbag. <em>Just</em> a beanbag with a $9.95 price tag. It doesn&#8217;t even come in any fancy colors or patterns. Hell, I <a href="http://familyfun.go.com/arts-and-crafts/season/feature/famf127lastmin/famf127lastmin4.html">made these</a> things at sleep-away camp when I was a kid. For less work, you can head over to your local dollar store. Go crazy, buy two.</p>
<p>Maybe this company will sell a ton and can laugh at me all the way to the bank. But Inked Up is giving MovieWedge our special seal of &#8220;Worthless iPhone Accessory.&#8221;</p>

<p>This one is filed under &#8220;Worthless iPhone Accessories.&#8221; I don&#8217;t think I really need to explain why.</p>
<p>Peter Aloisson has created a diamond encrusted iPhone case. Here are the specs:</p>
<blockquote><p>Made of solid 18 carat yellow gold, white gold and rose gold. A fabulous combination. The white gold line is encrusted with a total of 138 brilliant cut diamonds of the best quality. But the main feature of this one-of-a-kind phone is it’s “home button”. It carries a rare 6.6 carat diamond. Integrated in the design as if this diamond has been made for “taking you home”</p>
<p>Number of diamonds: approx. 139<br />
Frame / Diamond weight: approx. 5.50<br />
Diamond quality: small diamonds &#8211; best quality with color F<br />
“Home button” / Diamond weight: single diamond with 6.6 carats, rare beauty with history.
</p></blockquote>
<p>The price tag for this little beauty: EUR $1.79 Million.</p>

<p>Of course you know what we think:  most of these are worthless.  More worthless iPhone apps.  But they are free and sports related so we&#8217;ll cut them some slack.  So yeah, this guy lists <a href="http://mashable.com/2009/02/06/free-iphone-sports-apps/">100+ free sports apps</a>.</p>
<p>Why are some of these worthless?  Because many of them allow to get the schedule for your favorite team.  You know what else let&#8217;s me do that?  The internet.</p>
<p>Check them out anyway just so we can feel useful.</p>
