After having my iPad for a couple of days, I realised how some of the drawing tasks could be completed much more efficiently and accurately using a stylus. Within a couple of hours, I was exchanging emails with our overseas partners who quickly sent over specifications and images of what they could offer. We spotted the style that we wanted and voila (see above) – presenting the Mr.Gadget iPad Stylus.
The iPad is a beautiful gadget. It deserves to be sitting upright on your desk for you and all those passing by to admire.
If you’ve seen the original Apple iPad Dock you may have questioned why they chose to design it so poorly – the width of the dock is only approximately 1/3 of the iPad. Even Apple’s own website is rife with complaints by unhappy iPad customers. You can just imagine how easily this can be knocked over. Not very nice thought when even the cheapest model is around $600 worth of hard earned gadgetry. We spoke to our gadget manufacturers overseas to address this issue. The result is our very own Mr.Gadget iPad Dock above!
If your desk is anything like mine (see above) i.e. alive with cables, documents, pens and computers, the last thing you need is your brand new iPad causing more clutter. With the Maclove Titan iPad Stand you can rise above the mess as well as have your iPad sitting at a more viewable and accessible angle. iWorldAustralia sent me one to review a couple of weeks ago and I must say it is a welcome addition to my ever gadget-growing desktop.
iWorld Australia is one of the premier iPad accessories distributors in Australia.
They’ve just announced that their range is officially ready for Aussies – perfect as the iPad hits shelves later this month.
iWorld Australia iLuv iPad Accessories Press Release:
(Melbourne, Australia – April 14th 2010) iWorld Australia is proud to announce a comprehensive range of iPad accessories.
“ With the launch of the much anticipated Apple iPad, we have a very comprehensive range of iPad accessories to offer. We understand the iPad is going to make a massive impact and we also wanted to present a dynamic range with currently 72 skus to offer from bags, covers, screen protectors, chargers, remote control and much, much more. Not to mention we also have an expanding range from Dexim, iLuv, Speck, 4Mac and New Potato iPad accessories still yet to be released.” states Chad DeClase director of iWorld Australia.
When I initially got wind of the iPad and its specifications, I was cynical of its real-life application and just thought it was a glorified iPod Touch. However the more I see it in action and consider the apps that could be developed for it, the more I want one! Ok I’ll be honest, I really just want to try playing StreetFighter IV on it…
Seriously – check it out in this CNet Apple iPad Unboxing Vid (below). You’ll love the size and thinness of the gadget. The iPad has been released from stores in the U.S. today so you’ll see lots of the word “iPad” flooding your web stream.
I can already see myself using it to step through process flow diagrams, notes, websites and screen designs with clients…and of course games like the aforementioned.
We should be getting our first batch of iPad Accessoriesin the next 2 weeks – I think the iPad Screen Protector will be a big hit. Will keep you posted.
