Joseph Tame's unique tech-ridden harness has officially been dubbed the iRig, which holds four swiveling iPhones, an Android handset, iPad and a trio of wireless routers as well as weather and heart rate monitors. Just like Dvice, I’m pretty astounded that technology has become lightweight and portable enough for Joseph Tame to do this.
