Pick Up An iPhone 4S With A 25% Discount
Sounds too good to be true? We know, but it is true. Sprint in the US are offering the iPhone 4S for only $149.99, that’s $50 off their normal retail price of a 16GB iPhone 4S with a two year contract. For an Apple product, a discount is usually unheard of. So, why do you think they’re discounting these products? Of course, the iPhone 5 is due to be announced next month and should be available to purchase not long after but could that be too obvious? Most people in the US purchase their iPhone’s through other carriers, such as AT&T and Verizon, Sprint is the least popular, so this…
Kickstarter – 3DCone: make 3D Stills & Videos with your iPhone
Here’s another new Kickstarter project, this one consists of a 3DCone as a stereoscopic add-on for the iPhone 4 to help create 3D images and videos. It’s just a snap on device.

Midland Sun Headphones – Review
We’ve been testing these headphones for a few weeks back at theappwhisperer HQ and we’re quite impressed. The marketing claim of these headphones is that they help you ‘beat the heat’ as they’re ‘cooling headphones’. They are lined with cotton and have a ‘transpiring’ fabric on the outside, in order to keep your ears cool. Well, we are not entirely convinced they keep our ears cool but they are quite comfortable nonetheless. Take a look at our review below… They’re quite compact headphones but do not fold up tightly, they are incredibly lightweight though. They come complete with two cables, one cable acts as a answer/control, so you…

Schneider Optics iPro 2x Tele Lens – Expert Review
Schneider Optics is a name that will likely be familiar to most professional photographers and enthusiasts alike.

Schneider-Kreuznach is also the manufacturer of the popular B+W Filter range.
