Why Your iPad Is More Useful With An iPad Stand
by Michael on Aug.31, 2010, under iPad Accessories
One of the main differences between the iPad and a standard computer is that it’s designed to be portable and held between two hands for touch screen computing. However, for those who really want to make the most out of the device, the iPad stand is a great way to do just that.
There are a few reasons why you might choose to invest in an iPad stand. Firstly, the iPad can be great for watching movies and videos, or even reading eBooks. It isn’t always that comfortable to have to hold the iPad in your hands, which is where an extra stand comes in: it’ll allow you to angle the screen just how you need it.
Secondly, many people use the iPad stand to help replicate the way traditional computers are used with screens. When your iPad’s in the stand, you can free your hands to type using an external keyboard.
Lastly, the iPad stand is just a great way to store your iPad when you’re not out and about. iPad stands come in all sorts of designs to suit a number of different applications. They can be moved around vertically and horizontally, and are generally made of durable metal or plastic to ensure they last as long as possible.
If you want to get hold of a stand for your iPad then the first place you might choose to look is the Apple Store itself. They stock the basic iPad dock, perfect for watching movies, or you can buy it with an extra keyboard if you want more functionality. However, there are many more iPad stands available from third party sellers.
Some of the main types of stand include the standard plastic/ metal rigid stands that often have inbuilt charging facilities. However, for those looking for a sturdy case, you may even be able to find folio styles that also double up as a kick stand whenever you need one.

How to Pick A Stylish iPad Sleeve And A Guide To Some of the Best Available
by Michael on Aug.17, 2010, under iPad Accessories
When it comes to finding a stylish iPad sleeve, there is no shortage of choice. iPad sleeves are some of the hottest accessories around and, as well as helping you to show off your unique style, they’re also a functional way to keep your iPad protected against any scrapes.
When choosing your iPad sleeve there are a number of things you should think about:
- What kind of design do you need? A simple slip case that lets your iPad slide out or something that is fastened shut?
- Do you need any extra pockets for iPad accessories?
- Do you need it to be extra cushioned for more protection?
- Are you looking for an eco-friendly option?
The good news is that there are stylish iPad sleeves to suit just about any criteria. Sleeves aren’t designed to be able to protect your sleeve against all kinds of damage – nothing is – but bear in mind that some sleeves do offer more protection and padding than others. If you simply need it to prevent scratches then a thin sleeve will do the job perfectly.
Now you’ve thought a little about what you want out of the sleeve, here’s a quick guide to some of the best available:
Corkcase iPad Sleeve by Cables Unlimited (Black)
Be.ez LA robe Allure Sleeve for iPad
Bill-Fold iPad Sleeve
Etsy: If you want a truly unique and stylish iPad sleeve then a great idea is to go handmade. Etsy is full of people from all over the world who make their own products, including iPad sleeves in a huge number of styles. This is just about the only way that you can guarantee your sleeve is going to be one of a kind! (http://www.etsy.com/).
Eco Friendly iPad Accessories for the Environmentally Conscious Buyer
by Michael on Aug.03, 2010, under iPad Accessories, iPad Cases, iPad Covers
One great thing about Apple and all of their gadgets is that they’re made with the environment in mind: designed to be recyclable and free of materials such as PVC, arsenic and mercury. If you want to make sure that your accessories don’t do any further damage to the environment, then check out these stylish options.
The Bamboo iPad Case by Vers Audio: Bamboo is one of the most renewable materials on the planet, so you needn’t feel guilty about your carbon footprint with this attractive and practical case. It’s made of hard wood, meaning it can protect your iPad at the same time as making it more functional with the addition of a metal foot. It works perfectly as a stand for watching movies or using your favorite apps in comfort.
Solar Charger: Solio solar powered chargers are designed to work with literally thousands of electronic devices, including the iPad. It takes around two days in daylight hours for the Solio to fully charge, after which you can use it to top up the iPad’s power. You can’t get more eco friendly than using power from the sun!
JAVOedge Corky Back Cover: The JAVOedge cover is made from eco friendly pressed cork, and is a good solution for those looking to protect the back of the iPad (perhaps in conjunction with an invisible screen protector). Just like the Bamboo case mentioned above, it’s also a style statement in its own right.
ColcaSac iPad Sleeves: This attractive range of sleeves are designed with eco friendly materials in mind. They provide a snug fit for the device, with plenty of cushioning to help keep it as safe as possible. It also includes an extra functional pocket suitable for your power adapter, and there are a number of different designs to choose from.
An iPad Car Charger Can Help You Make the Most of the iPad Battery
by Michael on Jul.20, 2010, under iPad Accessories
When it comes to a truly portable device such as the iPad, battery life is key. The whole point of the iPad is that we’re able to take it out wherever we go, with the ability to connect to the internet, watch movies and listen to music while we’re out and about. The iPad car charger is one simple way to maximize this portability.
Official Apple iPad Battery Stats
According to Apple’s official tech specs for the iPad, the battery should last for up to 10 hours of surfing the web on Wi-Fi, listening to music and watching videos, reduced to 9 hours if you’re connected to the 3G network. This isn’t bad considering how much the device is capable of, but it isn’t always good for those who are constantly on the go.
iPad Car Charger: One Solution to the Battery Problem
For those who are always out and about and are looking for a way to keep their iPad powered, an iPad car charger could provide just that. This is basically a charger that is adapted to fit into the cigarette lighter port of your car, to keep your iPad constantly supplied with power while you’re in the car. Just plug your standard USB charger into the car adapter and you can charge on the go!
The standard iPad charger – the USB cable to charge directly for your computer, or the adapter that allows you to charge via the mains – just isn’t convenient for those of us who are constantly out and about. Apple do offer their own official car charger option, but there are far more cost effective third party models available out there for those who want to save a little cash.
For those who have busy meetings or a hectic schedule, it means you don’t need to wait for your iPad to finish charging before you leave the house. The real beauty of the iPad lies in the fact that it’s so portable, so try using an iPad car charger to help you make the most out of this fact.

by Michael on Jun.23, 2010, under iPad News

iPad still has a major browser vulnerability, says group behind AT&T security breach
by Michael on Jun.19, 2010, under iPad News
You know that tiny little security snafu that allowed over a hundred thousand iPad users’ email addresses out? The one that the FBI felt compelled to investigate? Well, Goatse Security — the group that discovered that particular hole (stop laughing) — isn’t best pleased to be described as malicious by AT&T’s response to the matter, and has requited with its own missive to the world. Letting us know that the breach in question took “a single hour of labor,” the GS crew argues that AT&T is glossing over the fact it neglected to address the threat promptly and is using the hackers’ (supposedly altruistic) efforts at identifying bugs as a scapegoat.
As illustration, they remind us that the iPad is still wide open to hijacking thanks to a bug in the mobile version of Safari. Identified back in March, this exploit allows hackers to jack in via unprotected ports, and although it was fixed on the desktop that same month, the mobile browser remains delicately poised for a backdoor entry — should malevolent forces decide to utilize it. This casts quite the unfavorable light on Apple as well, with both corporations seemingly failing to communicate problematic news with their users in a timely manner.

Verizon MiFi surgically implanted in iPad to create world’s first bionic tablet
by Michael on Jun.19, 2010, under iPad News
Sometimes, hackers hack without any constructive purpose — they do it just because they can. This, however, decidedly isn’t such a case; in fact, it’s one of the more enviable hackjobs we’ve seen in recent weeks. Basically, a dude split open his 3G iPad, removed the AT&T modem, and installed the circuit board out of a Verizon MiFi, providing power from the iPad’s battery and hooking in the borrowed AT&T antenna for hotspot range. The hack wasn’t without its trials and tribulations — the MiFi’s green LED initially shone through the back of the iPad’s display, for instance — but ultimately, the proud owner ended up with a fully functional iPad that doubles as a Verizon WiFi hotspot. It’s not exactly turnkey enough to recommend to lay folk, but at least Verizon customers can take heart knowing this kind of craziness is possible if you’ve got the stones for it.
