JPEGmini for Mac
If your Mac has an SSD, you know how quickly full-resolution JPEGs can gobble up that storage space. Big JPEGs can also be a pain to upload to the cloud or send via email. JPEGmini compresses those files up to 5x while keeping them at full resolution, full quality, with all the metadata intact. JPEGmini is $19.99 in the Mac App Store, or try JPEGmini Lite, which can compress 20 photos per day. Full review coming soon!

beamr
From the same company as JPEGmini, beamr is a new way to share full-resolution photos from your iPhone or iPad. You select any number of images, it wraps them up like a magazine with a customized cover, and it compresses and uploads them super fast. Share the link, and people can view them in any browser and download high-res copies, no sign-ups or sign-ins required. It's a free app, definitely worth a download.

Double Robotics
Telepresence: it's a fancy word for being in two places at once. Sure, you could video chat to a computer that doesn't move. Or you could drop $1,999 on the incredibly cool Double and video chat from an adjustable-height, rolling, Segway-ish iPad stand that you control over the Internet from anywhere in the world. It's your armless doppelgänger. Too cool.

CameraMator
Sanho's HYPER line unveiled the CameraMator at CES. It's a wireless tethering device for Nikon and Canon DSLRs. You connect it to your DSLR, jump on a Wi-Fi network or create your own, and control the camera and take shots from your Mac, iPad, or iPhone. It even integrates with Photoshop, Lightroom, and Bridge to let you review and edit images during your photo shoot. It's available now for $299.95 from hypershop.com.

Inspire Pro
This drawing-and-painting app for iPad just got a huge 2.0 update. Inspire Pro looks simple, but it uses OpenGL to render each individual bristle on your brush strokes in real time -- every single line looks different. You can mix colors together, save the new color to your palette, paint over photos...it's super fun to play with, and $7.99 in the App Store.

QuikIO
You have stuff on your Mac that you want on your iPhone. Forget transfers. Just share folders with the QuikIO for your Mac, and access them on an iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, or other computer. Music shows up with its cover art, videos have thumbnails (and are converted to iOS-friendly formats automatically), and it's even easy to beam files from one iPhone to another. It's free for a limited time, so give it a try.

Garmin Glo
This thing is super cool. Garmin Glo is a GPS/GLONASS receiver that pairs via Bluetooth, enabling turn-by-turn navigation with Garmin apps using an iPod touch or iPad that's totally offline and doesn't have GPS of its own. (GLONASS is Russia's GPS, so you actually get 24 more satellites than poor iPhone users who only have GPS.) It's small and light, has a 12-hour battery, and retails for $99.

CrazyTalk7
Oh yeah, and if you ever wanted your cat to talk, you need CrazyTalk7, an absurdly cool Mac app that animates a 2D pic as a 3D talking head. Make Abraham Lincoln recite dirty limericks, or I guess you could make an educational or promotional video and help people or whatever. (Dirty limericks!) It's easy to do but still very powerful and flexible, and from what I saw, $29.99 in the Mac App Store is a steal. Full review coming soon!
