If Batman had an iPhone he'd want this

Bruce Wayne has more than enough money to throw down on an official Apple iPhone dock, but citizens like us might be looking for a cheaper solution. London-based designer Courenay Inchbald of Seskimo has come up with one that not only costs less than a gallon of gas ($4), but also manages to fit in your wallet too. Called the "BatRest," it's a piece of cut plastic that folds up like a picture frame to cradle your shiny new toy phone.

Owners of the previous-generation iPhone can pick up the far more masculine-sounding BullRest, which has slightly different shaped prongs on the end that keep the rounder, less-tapered phone from flying off of airline seatback tables and desks.

After 5 years, Firefox faces new challenges

Mozilla helped reshape the Web since releasing Firefox 1.0 five years ago. Now it's got a reawakened Microsoft and Google Chrome to reckon with.

There's a map for that: GPS or smartphone?

Almost every handset comes with mapping software these days, but standalone GPS devices are becoming more affordable than ever.
