We’re not saying a transparent box designed to “acoustically amplify” your iPhone speakers is an unmistakable ripoff or anything, but we do believe your $19.99 would be better spent on materials and beverages of choice as you exercise that DIY muscle. At any rate, Griffin Technology has today introduced the AirCurve (that’s the thing we just described) alongside the Clarifi ($34.99; pictured after the jump), a polycarbonate protective case for your iPhone 3G. Unlike alternatives, though, this one has a “close-up lens,” which supposedly gives your iPhone 3G the ability to take remarkably detailed macro shots with even “more accurate colors.” Call us jaded, but Bot. of these things have marketing hoopla written all over ‘em.

While some manufacturers stay home pouting about mobile TV’s slow uptake in Europe, Samsung isn’t giving up on the Euro DVB-H market just yet, hoping to entice viewers with better features. The company’s new SGH-P960 adds integrated DVR functionality, like pausing live TV when it rings, meaning you won’t miss any of the action on the slider’s 2.6-inch, 240 x 320 screen. Other TV niceties include picture-in-picture, an on-screen programming guide, and an integrated Bang & Olufsen amplifier. A 3 megapixel cam with LED flash on the back rounds out what sounds like a nice package, but with no word on price or availability outside of europ. it’s hard to get too excited.
