iLidz Personal Media Viewer



The iLidz Personal Media Viewer was previewed at Macworld, promising "a large screen viewing experience at a fraction of the cost."

Simply insert your iPhone into the iLidz media viewer, look through the magnifying glass and adjust until focused. Voila. Hands free viewing. I can't say I necessarily felt like I was looking at a large screen, I suppose being hands free while watching a movie could be useful.

For the story behind iLidz, see i-lidz.com. The $29.95 iLidz is being fine tuned for mass production.

Ouch, I can see Steve cringing about this.

Nice gadget, but what is up with the 'half-hat' design and the protruding metal bars from the skip?

The hat was just folded in half so people wouldn't have to actually put it on, and could just hold it up.

Looking at the site, it is actually not too bad looking. Well, for use on flights etc...

What kind of movie would you be watching where it would be useful to be hands free? :p

Nice dude. Made me laugh....


They couldn't have designed their own clips? It looks like someone just modded a hat with some supplies from Staples. It's functional I guess, but not very nice looking. And you would think that the magnifying glass so close to your eyes would cause some vision damage with prolonged use.

It's like 1908 meets 2008.

LOL! That is just too funny! I love the paper clips holding the magnifying screen! Talk about a prototype! :-)

I'd be more impressed with a simpler product that would just velcro to the airplane seat in front of you so you could watch hands free on a plane. Hey... a freebie idea for these guys! :-)
