Macworld | iWorld 2012: Preshow Media Product Preview

SAN FRANCISCO Macworld | iWorld 2012 held a media-only event on the eve of the show Wednesday — here are the seven products and services organizers foisted on the media first thing on registration. They were pretty cool, though.

Spashtop is in from Beijing. Its new Mac client for this popular remote desktop app is available now for $4.95, says CMO Cliff Miller. But it’ll be free for download all day Saturday, Pacific Time.

Splashtop is a remote desktop app available on iOS, Android, PC and Mac. It’s $0.99 for iPhone, $4.99 for iPad and Android, and $19.99 for the desktop.

The Intoxicase and Intoxicate Plus from Spicebox are cases for the Apple iPhone. It doubles as a bottle opener, too. And it comes with a free app that detects how many bottles you’ve opened — and, appropriately, tracks your drinking habits. The Intoxicase is $25. The Intoxicase Plus is $35.

Audible Magic detects audio from TV shows or movie — it actually takes the sound from an internal mic, using keywords it hears to give you more information about it. Think of it as audio search. It’s not an app — it’s an API you build on. Sounds like an obvious Google acquisition to me.

TeenAgree is an app that informs parents if and when their teen is driving unsafely. Sounds miserable for a team — but amazing for parents. Execs told us it doesn’t matter if the teen is carrying an Apple iPhone and Android phone. This is a service — it costs $5 a month.
