Apple's iPhone 4 is truly a jack of all trades, the device enabling users to take good quality photos and videos just about anywhere they might happen to be at a certain moment, and in order to actually enhance this particular functionality, Joby, a well-known manufacturer of accessories for digital cameras, mobiles and camcorders, has just announced the development of the Gorillamobile for iPhone 4. The accessory in question combines the protection of a durable, always-on bumper case with the hands-free positioning capabilities of a JOBY tripod. The bumper case design leverages the sleek form of the iPhone and is equipped with a rail system that easily slides on and off the tripod stand in portrait or landscape orientation. No matter what position the iPhone and tripod achieve, the bumper case design ensures that both cameras and the flash are ready for good-quality shooting. The flexible, wrappable legs and rubber grip rings inspire creative perspectives for time-lapse photos, steady video recording, easy film-viewing on the plane or comfortable FaceTime calls without losing circulation in one's fingers. Moreover, JOBY will launch a new photography app specifically designed to take full advantage of iPhone 4 capabilities including the ability to make quick and easy time-lapse videos, with the new photography app being set to launch in advance of the holidays. “After months of research, we recognized the opportunity to enhance the experience of using Apple’s line of products, particularly for media consumption, image capture and comfort over extended use,” says JOBY CEO Forrest Baringer-Jones. “We were inspired to develop a family of products that fully unleashes the creative power of Apple’s mobile devices using next generation materials and thoughtful design. The Gorillamobile for iPhone 4 is the first in this family but will be joined by two other revolutionary mobile accessories at CES. “ What the company's CEO wants to point out here is that, in addition to the launch of the Gorillamobile for iPhone 4, JOBY will be expanding the Gorillamobile family with two new iPad products this January, at CES. The Gorillamobile for iPhone 4 is available today and retails for $39.95, which is actually a pretty interesting price point, all things considered.
