Apple wasn’t kidding when they said “there’s an app for that”

Heart Monitor? Yes there’s an app for that.

Oscilloscope? Yup, that too.

Laser Pointer? No problem.

HMB-TEC of Germany has created an  eclectic and eccentric collection of hardware gadgets that plug into the 3.5mm headphone jack of an iPhone, and couple with their apps.

Among the devices they make are a heart monitor, microphone, thermometer, stethoscope, pocket fan, oscilloscope, laser pointer, flashlight, breath controller, all sorts of remote control devices, and much more. German ingenuity and engineering leads the way again. I can’t imagine anyone coming up with this sort of stuff here in the U.S. The accessories cost from between $20 to $90 US, excluding shipping. The accompanying apps cost between $1 to $5.

Who will be the first on their block to collect the entire set? Send us photos! Can’t wait to see the iPad versions.

First in our new series of Amazing iPhone Gadgets™, we bring you the:
