Gorillamobile revised for iPhone 4
The other day I was editing some very shaky video taken with an iPhone 4, and I suggested that the owner pick up a tripod -- so this is pretty good timing. Made just for the iPhone 4, JOBY designed the new Gorillamobile with an included bumper case (which stays on your iPhone) that slides into a rail attachment on the tripod itself. The rails work in both portrait and landscape modes, and they don't add any more weight to the phone than a regular case. Seriously, if you are going to take video for more than a few seconds, do your viewers a favor and pick up a tripod; they will thank you for it later. And if you never got your free bumper case from Apple, this may be a good way to pick up a case AND a new tripod for US$39.95. Click "Read More" to check out a video of the Gorillamobile.

Joby's Gorillamobile gets revised, caters specifically to iPhone 4 with added bumper case
Are you ready for a barrage of Apple-specific peripherals from the labs of Joby? Can't say we are either, but they're coming regardless. Today, the famed creator of the original Gorillapod has pumped out a seriously overhauled version of the Gorillamobile, with this one designed to work specifically (and only) with the iPhone 4. The real difference here is the inclusion of a bumper case (no, not that Bumper case), which slides in perfectly to an accompanying rail attachment on the bundled tripod. Slip in, slip out -- you dig? It's available today for $39.95 if you're eager to ditch the case Apple gave ya, and you can expect more when this came from by the time CES 2011 opens its doors in two short months. %Gallery-107040%
Joby's Gorillamobile keeps your phone firmly affixed to whatever
Historically, the Gorillapod's lease in life has been all about mounting cameras to tree branches, goalposts, and strangers' limbs -- but, you know, cameras aren't the only things in the world that could use that kind of superhuman capability, are they? To that end, Joby has introduced Gorillamobile, a package of goodies that includes the company's Gorillapod Original -- its smallest flexible tripod -- along with tripod, suction cup, and adhesive clips for attaching various smartphones and point-and-shoots. What's it good for? Well, that's entirely up to you and your overactive imagination -- but Joby shows iPhones being securely stowed on desks, exercise bikes, and strollers, so we're sure you'll be able to figure out something. Look for it to ship on August 10 for $29.95.
