Rad 6-foot long iPhone cables!

Makers of “The Wormhole Switch” — brilliant name.

Rad little receipt and paper scanner – @dugsong has one of these. #want

SolarJoos.com
big hype on solar chargers (20 hours to charge, are you fucking KIDDING me?), but nice design

Heatma.ps
like crazyegg for iPad app designers. Dumb idea but cool execution.

Grifiti.com
iPhone and iPad tripod mounts for use with TelePrompTer software. I need this.

BeYellou.com
clean, beautifully made cases in nice colors

Apple

Bobo-group.com
Makers of the im.play wireless audio / video streamer hardware device. Interesting to me because AirPlay always dies for me in my apt.

Miraizon.com
Makers of Cinematize 3, some kind of artisanal DVD ripping app thing

HubInnovations.com
Makers of the very futuristic “Prizm” metal iPad and iPhone stands

OrigAudio.com
weird cube speaker things, supposedly Time magazines “50 best inventions of the year”… because we all look to magazines as our source of innovations.

OpaLang.org
the only vendor I saw who mentioned open source. some new goofy language with strong static typing, supposedly someone at Facebook has used it. No idea.

BlueMic.com
nice pro-sumer mica and shock mounts

Kanexlive.com
no idea what these guys were shilling but they had some great hexagonal print materials.

Corpcom.co
super rad mini speakers. also! these guys had a TINY (smaller than an ipad) sized digital DJ mixer with crossfader: totally insane. also, worst domain name ever.

iBattz.com
more nice cases

NatureSpace.com
Relax, meditate, escape, sleep: cool audio chillout stuff.
