Lately iFrogz has been known more for its iPhone and iPad cases, with its EarPollution earbuds and earphones taking a back seat. However, the company has recently refocused on its music oriented products, rolling out a new iFrogz Audio line, combined with a new iFrogz Power collection of cables and splitters designed to make teenagers’ (and a few adults’) mobile lives more complete.

“We have recognized the opportunity to create new lines of products that would appeal to a more sophisticated audiophile,” said iFrogz product manager Ben Godfrey, in a statement. “Our iFrogz Audio and iFrogz Power lines offer great style, durability, new functionality and, of course, an excellent listening experience.”

The bulkiest members of the iFrogz Audio family are the Vertex over-the-ear headphones featuring 40mm drivers, AeroFoam cushions, and an inline microphone so users can take calls without having to fiddle with their headset. iFrogz says the headphones are lightweight and foldable for easy portability—and they carry a suggested price of $49.99. Folks who prefer an on-ear solution can go for the new Frequency headphones, which feature a woven code and the ability to fold flat for transport and storage. Folks who want the more-compact experience of earbuds can check out the Transport and TimbrePro: the Transports feature a modern look and colored anti-tangle cord, while the TimbrePros feature a (tiny) speaker chamber made from real wood. Both feature an an inline mic for calls. The Transports have a suggested price of $39.99, while the TimbrePros go for $49.99.

iFrogz is also beefing up its accessories with the iFrogz Power line, including UniqueSync 30-pin charge-and-sync cables for iPods, iPads, and iPhones—it distinguishes itself from other cables on the market by (you guessed it) color. iFrogz keeps the color theme going with brightly colored 3.5mm aux and extension cables, as well as splitter so two people can share the same audio feed in privacy.

iFrogz isn’t giving up on its EarPollution line: although it’ll be integrated with the iFrogz Audio family, the company has also rolled out new Evolution and noise-isolating, industrial-ish Legion earbuds to the line.

Google just canceled its AI Studio mobile app, and it’s not all bad news
Logo, Symbol, Disk

Google AI Studio was on track to make its way to Android and iPhone, giving developers and AI enthusiasts a dedicated place to build prompts and experiment with Google's latest models from their phones.

That's no longer happening. In a post shared by the official Google AI Studio account on X, Google confirmed that it's canceling the standalone AI Studio mobile app before launch. The announcement comes despite the company saying nearly 800,000 people had already pre-ordered the app across iOS and Android.

Nano Banana AI image generator representation.

Technology behemoths are clearly not reading the room, or they are just moving faster than they should when it comes to AI deployment. Google has already stuffed its Gemini AI in every corner of its software stack, from Android to daily productivity tools like Gmail that are used by hundreds of millions of users every day. AI is everywhere. Not all of it is bad, mind you. But in a few places, it just feels forced.

In its latest AI-fication experiment, the company targeted Google Earth. The idea was to let the audience use its Nano Banana 2 AI image generator and make images that can be placed on the map view. On paper, it's a cool idea. What would the Colosseum of Rome look like in your urban neighborhood? Yeah, fun stuff like that.

Gemini robotics 2.0

Google DeepMind just brought sci-fi robots closer to reality, and it is very exciting.

Unlike most robots today, which rely on pre-programmed routines or someone controlling them remotely, this new system lets robots figure things out on their own when situations get unpredictable.

Can robots finally handle whole-body tasks?
