When it comes to charging your iPhone, there are certainly many different routes you can take. There is the traditional less-green method of direct AC/DC charging from a car battery or your home, and then there are alternatives like solar. What if you could use your breathe to charge your phone, though? That’s exactly what this unique concept system, the AIRE mask, is all about.

The device is the concept of Joao Paulo Lammoglia, and is designed to use your breathe through its mask to convert it to electricity thanks to tiny wind turbines. All you need to do is connect your device and breathe, that’s it. While this might not be the most practical solution for everyone, it is a pretty interesting concept and you have to applaud Lammoglia for really thinking outside the box.

It is pretty common these days for many radios to have an iPod docking station, but AOC is taking the concept to the next level by integrating a dock into their new Aire monitor.

The AOC Aire (aka e2343Fi) features a 23” Full High Definition experience with a resolution of 1920×1080, and will come with a built-in dock that supports both iPhone and iPod, allowing you to have all your multimedia content delivered to the monitor using plug-and-play technology.The monitor will also include SRS Premium sound as well.

For those who love the idea of quick access and integration of all their important media content, or just a way to get iPhone apps up on the big screen, the AOC Aire certainly looks like a tempting choice.

The Aire will debut sometime in March, and will be shown off in at CES 2012 in a few days.
