(Credit: Roam, Singapore): Sure your phone can be a video player, navigation device, camera and even a bedside clock. But how do you hold it steady for all these functions? Try this eight legged, waterproof wonder, which is billed as a "flexible, universal travel dock and gadget grip". Its many legs can be twisted to grip your phone and hold it in place, whether on flat or uneven surfaces. Or use it to mount your phone on your bike's handlebars or car's sun visor. Works as a pliable toy too.

(Credit: Tom Wiggins, Stuff): Ants can't whistle, ducks can't play squash and until now spiders couldn't hold onto your gadgets. But a bit like a skeletal Gorillapod (what's with these gadget podiums taking on animal names?), Breffo's Spiderpodium has one purpose - to provide a platform for pretty much whatever you want. Its eight spindly legs wrap around your iPod, Sat-Nav, or [insert gadget name here] and hold on for dear life. You can even use it to fix your phone to your bike's handlebars. Perhaps it's time to start listening more closely to those ants...

C-NET - Crave
March 15, 2010 (Credit: John Chan, CNET): The Spiderpodium from U.K.-based Breffo is a gadget holder with eight legs.
These can be manipulated to fit your needs, whether you're using the accessory as a desktop stand or a hanging holder in your car.
In its promotional materials, Breffo even displays it wrapped around a bicycle handlebar so you can attach your phone to your bike. This is useful, especially if said phone
is also a satellite navigation device. Right now, all I can think about is how to wrap it around my face so I can make an iPhone look like a facehugger from "Alien."
The Spiderpodium is expected to be available starting March 29 and is currently on preorder for 14.99 pounds ($23.70) - full article

March 14, 2010 (Credit: Gizmodo.com): The Spiderpodium Gadget Stand Is Unnecessarily Freaking Me Out
The Spiderpodium is pretty self-explanatory: It's a gadget-stand/tripod (well, an octo-pod, technically) shaped like an arthropod. Lacking much to explain,
I'm going to tell you the origins of my arachnophobia. Everyone take a seat. It's about to get real.
First, to get the business part of this out of the way, the Spiderpodium is sort of a riff on the Gorillapod, only it has eight flexible legs shaped like the
legs of its terrifying namesake. It's a good idea, actually; since all eight legs are equally flexible, it can be attached to pretty much anything, and it can also
securely hold pretty much any gadget, of any size. It's like if Gumby was hugging your gadget, only he had eight legs and gave me nightmares. This is what it looks
like in different configurations- full article

March 16, 2010 (Credit: Duncan Geere, Pocket Lint): A company called Breffo has invented a product called the Spiderpodium, which looks to do for
the world of iPods and iPhones what the Gorillapod has done for the world of digital cameras.
It's essentially a stand for your Apple device, with eight arms that can fold around your device or around anything else. The company suggests clipping it to your bike handle, or the vents in your car,
or even around a car seat, so that it lets you view your gadget more easily, even if you don't have a proper dock. - full article
