January 24, 2011Accessories, CES 2011accessory, bluetooth, CES, ipadTodd Cochrane

Just before Christmas, Qmadix launched this very neat portfolio case for the Apple iPad that includes a slim bluetooth keyboard. The case doubles as a stand and the keyboard can be removed from the portfolio if it’s not going to be used. Comes in a range of colours, too. Available now from Fry’s for a penny under $130.

Also on the video are Qmadix’s Qi-Wear by iHarmonix, stereo bluetooth sunglasses. Not cheap at $279, but look cool.

The ingenious joystick design from Ten One Design called “Fling” will take your gaming to a whole new level.

The “Fling” will improve your accuracy so much that people are already calling it cheating using it. I tried it and was surprised how smooth and easy it was to use.

I never thought that something as small and inexpensive as this would be so much fun!

Visteon Turns iPad into Car Dashboard Control

January 21, 2011CES 2011, Mobileapplication, CES, ipad, visteonJeffrey Powers

In continuing our talks with Visteon, we found they have created a prototype to a dashboard docking station for your Tablet or smart phone. However, this dock is made for another reason. To turn your device into your side dashboard.

Visteon is developing an iPad Car Dash Application, which literally turns your tablet into the car dash control. You can control the temperature, radio stations, comfort of the driver / passenger and more. It pairs to the car so you don’t need to have the tablet mounted to control.

Best part is the buttons can be placed in more useable areas, like the steering wheel. You can even have a tablet control connection for the back of your vehicle if needed.

Dexim Portable Power Solutions

January 19, 2011CES 2011, GadgetsCES, chargers, dexim, ipad, iphoneTom Newman

At CES Unveiled, Dexim showed a number of great power solutions for your iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad devices.

The P-Flip Solar Power charger uses the energy of the sun to charge a battery pack in about 15 hours. This pack can then be used to power or charge your iPhone device.

They also offer the P-Flip Foldable Power Dock which is like it’s newer Solar powered cousin but uses regular electricity to charge it’s internal 2,000 mA battery. Both P-Flip models hold the iPhone 3 and iPhone 4 models for easy viewing and movie watching.

What I thought was the most interesting product was the Visible G Charger. This is a cool wall charger that displays the charging condition in the wire that connects to your device. You see color lights pulsating through the wire as it’s charging and the pulsating slows down as the device becomes charged. The lights stop and turn off when the device is full charge. In fact, the entire charger turns off, saving electricity. Dexim claims you will save 85% of standby power used by other chargers.

January 12, 2011Accessories, CES 2011CES, ipadTodd Cochrane

JoyFactory launched a full line of iPad accessories at CES 2011 under the iPad anywhere mantra. One of the products that drew my attention was a iPad stand that was made out of composite materials. This is a brand new US based company.

Another product that I thought was pretty cool was a Tag and Go charging station that is unique in that multiple devices could easily be charged from the charging pad. Check out their new line of products.

Mophie Chargers for iPhone4 at CES 2011

January 10, 2011Accessories, CES 2011CES, CES 2011, ipad, iPhone4, MophieTodd Cochrane

Mophie was displaying their latest chargers for the iPhone4 at CES 2011. Many of you may recall the trouble I had with the 3G version of Mophie charger where the charging connection was not as robust as it should be. In the iPhone4 design they have reworked the design and location of the charging connection. Talking with the representative that was at CES, I was pleased to find out that they also re-enforced the area in and around the charging plug that gave so many of us issues in the past.

Overall the new design is sleeker and fits the new iPhone4 in a way that really makes you see that they spent a lot of time on designing the latest charger.

Mophie has also expanded into a line of accessories for the iPad which are sleek and stylish. You can find more details about Mophie at Mophie.com
