Myvu announced today that their Myvu Crystal personal media viewer is now compatible with the iPhone.  All that is needed for integration is a cable that can be purchased from Myvu for $24.99.  I have to admit that this is just one of the coolest looking electronic products out there.  It always makes me think of the character from Star Trek, Geordi La Forge.  He’s the one with the tiny visor on, which is how I described him to my other half, so I could find out his name.  Sorry, I’m not a Trekie.  With the Crystal, not only do you get the media viewing, but they also have a pair of noise canceling earbuds built-in.  This is a great idea for someone who travels often.  The Crystal is much more compact than trying to carry a portable DVD player or laptop for movie viewing.  Check out the complete press release from Myvu after the break.
