More scenes from Macworld 2012 (photos)
In our second gallery from Macworld 2012 in San Francisco, a look at some of the coolest iOS gear on display.
Macworld: Retro iPhone receiver
The Apple faithful have once again descended on San Francisco's Moscone Center West for the annual Macworld Expo (or, excuse us, the Macworld|iWorld as it's now known). Dubbed as the "ultimate iFanevent," Macworld offers the public a chance to check out the latest accessories and software for their Apple gear and attend various workshops.
This year, the event's organizer, IDG World Expo, added some programs, such as the "Music Experience showcase" and "Art Showings," to highlight how Apple products are being used in media and arts projects.
Yesterday, we visited the show floor to give you a sense of what's it like to attend the event. In this gallery, you'll see still more scenes.
Concerned about potential radiation, this man's wife bought him a unique receiver handset so he didn't have to hold his phone to his head. It's probably the most retro item on the floor at Macworld, but it's not on display, or even for sale.

Macworld: Bang & Olufsen boombox
Bang & Olufsen's aluminum finish Beolit 12 is part of the company's sporty new B&O Play brand. The $799 portable iPhone boombox features a 2.1 sound system with 4-inch subwoofer, and Apple Airplay, which allows music to be played wirelessly.
Macworld: Parasync Dock
With just one USB cable, the Parasync Dock can simultaneously sync up to 20 iPods and iPhones from a single iTunes library. The product is being aimed at schools and universities, museums, and other venues with lots of iDevices floating around.
Macworld: Nomad Brush
The Nomad Brush turns the iPad into an easel. The paintbrush/stylus works with any sketch program for the iPad, as well as Android devices. The brushes run from about $18 up to $40.
Macworld: Mini DJ console
This is just a prototype--the real thing goes into production next year--but this yet-unnamed DJ console could be the smallest, most portable DJ setup the world has ever seen.
Macworld Blue Microphones
Blue Microphones let audiophiles get studio-quality sound from iOS devices, turning laptops into full production studios. In addition to the Yeti Pro desktop USB mic seen here, Blue Microphones also makes portable USB and iPad enabled pro quality mics.
Macworld: Bigger, better camera
The iPhone 4S is already one of the best portable cameras out there, but with the Schneider Optics $199 iPro Lens System, your rig will get even better. The all-in-one kit includes a wide-angle lens, a fisheye lens, and a tripod mount.
Macworld: Acrobatic display
A high-flying spokesman on the expo floor at Macworld uses tricks and twists to demonstrate how Polk Audio's headphones stay put, even under extreme conditions.
