The Week in iOS Accessories: The heartbeat of America
The heartbeat of AmericaThis week's roundup of iOS accessories includes a device that will record your heartbeat, another that makes your iPhone movies look more professional, and, of course, a number of Bluetooth speaker systems.AliveCorThe $199 AliveCor heart monitor records and displays a single-channel ECG measurement on your iPhone. It’s not a toy, though: You’ll need a prescription from your doctor just to purchase the device.Altec LansingThis venerable audio company is back with the $99 SoundBlade, a portable wireless Bluetooth speaker that can stream your music for up to six hours on a single charge. It’s also usable as a speakerphone in conjunction with your iOS device.

It measures 6 by 15.8 by 5.3 inches—and weighs in a 4.5 pounds—so it’s designed more for semi-permanent shelf use rather than as a mobile system. The speaker comes with a wireless remote control.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
