iPad 2 Cases Provide Clues To Next Generation Tablet
by Michael on Feb.26, 2011, under iPad Cases, iPad News
Is the long awaited Apple iPad 2 finally here? Your guess is as good as anyone else’s! The rumor mill is starting to churn and there are two sides to the story. One rumor indicates that the next version of the iPad will be delayed till June due to production/design changes. Another story indicates that it will arrive on time in March (as soon as next week). There’s been no confirmation from Apple on either of the rumors. Apple has been known to keep the actual release dates a secret until they are ready to launch, but their marketing department is likely working overtime to generate a buzz on the next generation of iPads.
Regardless of when the iPad 2 arrives, one thing for sure, the shortcomings of the first version will be addressed. One of the must-have missing from the first iPad is a webcam. The webcam was one of the top features requested for the new iPad. It will be useful for those who like to chat face-to-face and meet the needs of business users for conference calls. The next-generation iPad will have both front- and rear-facing cameras for FaceTime video chat, Skype video calls, and other instant messenger applications that may support video interfaces.
There’s been many stories about iPad 2 cases floating around with large cutout for larger speakers. This makes alot of sense since the device is geared toward multi-media experience. The other notable difference on the new iPad case design between the first iPad and the new generation of iPads is a flat back rather than a curve back. This supports the notion that the new iPad is slimmer, but with the same screen size 9.7-inch display.
With increasing competition from Android and Windows based tablets, the Apple iPad needs to continue to improve on the user experience. From gaming to social network to the simple past time of reading, we can expect the iPad to continue and dominate this tablet computer market for the forseeable future.
iPad Stylus: A Guide To The Top Stylus Models Available
by Michael on Jan.10, 2011, under iPad Accessories
In its simplest form, an iPad stylus is a pointing device that takes the place of your fingers for more accurate positioning and controls. But the stylus has also evolved to perform a number of impressive functions.
Choosing The Right iPad Stylus
There are a number of different kinds of stylus available to use with your iPad, and the one you buy will depend largely on what you use it for. For example, some styluses are better for design, whereas others are made for simple writing and pointing (to make things more accurate than using your fingers). Most people will find that a stylus makes the most difference when you’re into drawing, sketching, handwriting and painting using your iPad.
If you’re really serious about the art you’re going to create on your iPad then you’re going to need a high quality stylus to match. Results can really differ depending on the stylus you pick, so here’s guide to the top styluses available to buy.
1) Pogo Sketch: This stylus comes in a wide rage of colors to suit all styles and tastes. The reason why this stylus is so popular comes down to price – it won’t set you back much at all. On the other hand, you do have to use some pressure to get it to draw what you want.
2) BoxWave Capacitive: This stylus is a sturdier option for those who don’t like the Pogo. It doesn’t require as much pressure to work, and has some fantastic reviews from users. Even those using the iPad for drawing have found this to be an excellent choice, and it costs only a little more than the Pogo.
3) Griffin Technology Stylus: This stylus has good precision and weighs a little more than the Pogo. It’s also designed for writing, drawing and sketching and has very positive user reviews. Again, it won’t cost much either.
There really is very little in it when it comes to choosing the right stylus for you – it may come down to trying a few and seeing what feels best! You can find all the above iPad stylus at Amazon.

Now that the iPad’s been around for a little while, there are some clear winners when it comes to the most popular cases. Here’s a run down of five of the top selling cases.
1) Apple iPad Case: It may not be the most exciting iPad case, but it’s the original case developed and sold by Apple, and has sold in huge numbers since the iPad was first launched. It has over 1,000 reviews on the Apple website and is still going strong. This is a lightweight iPad case that’s still strong enough to keep your gadget protected.
2) Incase Convertible Magazine Jacket: This case is also sold by Apple themselves, and is a popular variation of the Incase Black Convertible Book Jacket. Its main feature is the snap closure and tough exterior – the hardshell is useful for protecting against scratches and knocks.
3) ICON iPad Essential Black Book: This is a very simple, black case that comes in at a good price – so it’s not difficult to see why it’s a bestseller. It’s a form fitting case that also doubles as a convenient foldable stand for the iPad.

5) AmazonBasics Netbook Bag for iPad: There seems to be a theme running through the top 5 iPad case bestsellers, in that they’re all simple and practical. Number 5 perhaps the most of all. This netbook bag could be used for any other tablet or netbook, but is popular with iPad users who want the simplest form of protection. Well worth the low price tag!

iPad Accessories for Your Car: Get Portable GPS, Video, Music and More!
by Michael on Sep.14, 2010, under iPad Accessories, iPad Cases
The iPad is great to carry around, but also a fantastic choice for those who want the device in their car. This demand has lead to a whole range of iPad accessories that have been developed to make your iPad more functional when you’re out and about.
The In-Car iPad Charger: Even for the casual users, the in-car charger for the iPad is perfect for those who want the opportunity to charge up their iPad as they drive. The Griffin PowerJolt Plus is the option available from the Apple Store, though there are also many other third party choices depending on your needs and budget.

iPad Mount: Many people are also looking for iPad car mounts to help them turn their iPad into a GPS navigation system (or you could just hook it up to your car speakers for music as you drive). There are a number of different options available for this purpose, including the popular Padholder, which takes between 5-25 minutes to install in your car, and is compatible with most iPad cases.
Backset Mount: There are also mounts designed specifically for the backseat, for those moments when you want to keep the kids occupied, or just need something to entertain passengers on a long journey. The Trendy Digital PadRide case is a cost effective way of setting up the iPad for backseat viewing, positioned over the headrest.
iPad Car Audio Accessories: The iPad is great for playing music in your car, though some cars aren’t designed to connect through the standard headphone socket on the iPad, which is where accessories come in. GOgroove have developed an FM transmitter that will charge your iPad, play music, let you make hands free calls and listen to the radio using Bluetooth sound transmission.
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.
