A new set of headphones for iPhone 3GS users has been unveiled called the V-MODA Remix Remote. The headphones have a mic and inline remote for controlling track and volume and can be bought at Apple Retail stores for $99.

A survey has been conducted and claims that iPhone owners will be the main drivers of iPad sales. The survey was conducted by AdMob and showed that 16% of the 960 smartphone owners using the iPhone surveyed plan to buy the iPad.

This won’t mean much to most of the guys out there, but ladies using the iPhone who like fashion mags will be glad to hear that Vogue is unveiling an iPhone app. The app will provide videos, discounts, and other offers when the user takes a picture of an ad in the print mag.

The basic iControlPad will be a simple sleeve into which the iPhone slots.  It will have a D-pad plus two analog joysticks, four control buttons and two function keys (Start and Select).  As for the second upgraded model, that will also squeeze in a battery which can be used to recharge the iPhone/iPod touch rather than drain the device’s own power during gaming.

There is still no word on pricing, or exact release dates, but the iControlPad team are suggested people sign up to their newsletter for information.  Supplies of the first batch will be limited, and we’re expecting this to sell like the proverbial hot-cakes.

Power A has unveiled its new iPhone Universal Remote Case that works in conjunction with a free software app to turn the iPhone or iPod touch into a universal remote that can control any IR device. The IR transmitter is built into a shiny black case that fits around the iPhone and looks a lot like the Juice Pack Air to me.

The case has the IR blaster and the software app allows the iPhone to control all functions and devices in your home theater from one screen. This case is cool because it looks much cleaner than some of the other devices that are dongles and look added on and fragile plus it will protect your iPhone. The app will also get enhancements and updates as time goes by according to the maker. The case will be available soon for right under $60.
