hey guys johnathan ear with TLD today I'm reviewing the Gryphon simplified which is a count of one two three and one say doc USB hub and card reader geared to work with the iPod and the iPhone and it's aimed to take all the clutter away from your desktop jumping straight into the retail package I think Griffin does an excellent job nice and clean not too over-the-top and they include everything you need so obviously you're gonna get to simplify itself you get an array of iPod dock insert so you can match it to your iPod model or iPhone you get the AC power adapter the USB mini cable and the user's guide so you can figure out what you're doing one of the strongest points on the simplify is the build quality they actually used anodized aluminum which is a huge plus I've seen other companies try to mimic that Mac silver aluminum look and they use like a plastic with like a silver aluminum paint so from afar it looks cool but we get up close and you feel it it feels kind of cheap and flimsy and if you drop it the wrong way feels like it might crack and that's completely not the case with these simplifies built well and I really dig the anodized aluminum as far as the card reader portion that supports four different cards you get compact flash memory stick SD and XD obviously this is geared to work really well with a MacBook Air for example when you have a limited amount of ports but also for you heavy users maybe you own a Mac Pro obviously it doesn't come with a built-in card reader this is a great option maybe shoot video with a canon 7d or five dean you got to use the compact flash to transfer over to Final Cut so this is gonna give you that extra USB ports and an iPod or iPhone dock now I used it in conjunction with my iMac and my only complaint with the simplify was the fact of the lack of support for micro SD cards I would have loved to seen a little port on there for that but because I have an iMac and r2 have an SD card built into there I actually use these two conjunction like Batman and Robin so the iMac was the primary SD card reader this became my secondary one so I stuck a micro SD card adapter just kind of sitting in a simplify so now I got the best of both worlds I don't got to move anything out of the way and additionally the extra two USB ports came in handy throw in an iPod shuffle or a USB thumb drive so overall I was really impressed but to simplify and I want to thank riffin specifically whit from Griffin for sending this out for review really appreciate it man I was impressed and if you guys are watching this video looking for a little dock for your desktop you want a card reader and some additional USB ports this is an excellent option to pick up so I hope you guys enjoyed this video I will post a link for the cheapest top to pick this up I will catch you guys later and make sure to check out our two latest videos got a couple iPad surprises including a leaked picture of the new iPad 2 screen and then I have the other video talks about how the iPad basically dominates the Samsung Galaxy Tab in sales so I'm gonna quit yapping check out those videos and again I will catch you guys later you
