Bluesmart: Connected Luggage? You Got It.


by

This might just appeal to the globetrotter that resides within all of us…

No more lost luggage… not if this Indiegogo project has anything to do with it. Bluesmart is looking to introduce connected luggage to folks looking for a way to track and weigh their traveling gear. Beyond that, it charges electronics, gives proximity reports and can even be locked via smartphone.

If you’re like me, and shamelessly think this is exceptionally cool, you can assured in the fact that you’re not that weird. With less than a day to go, the project has raised more than $1 Million against a relatively modest goal of $50,000.

SLOPE: The Coolest (and Easiest) iPad Stand


by

I have been looking for a way to get my iPad up and usable when not sitting down.  Plus my wife really wanted an easy way to look at the iPad when she is cooking in the kitchen.  I looked at several of the fancy iPad stands that they are currently selling at Williams Sonoma and Sur la Table…but then I stumbled upon this cool and nifty product!!

I was looking for something that I didn’t have to affix to the iPad, but rather use when I needed/wanted to and then be done with it.  But it also had to withstand use in the kitchen and have the ability to be “bumped” once in awhile.

The Slope meets these requirements and won’t break the bank!

Do you use WhatsApp?

WhatsApp is a unique app in both function and philosophy.

Although there were purchased by Facebook for $19 billion in cash and stock, it’s clear the WhatsApp will continue to dominate—especially as they continue to press on with this kind of a philosophy!

Take a closer look at this curious company—I find the creators history particularly interesting, too:

Evernote Analog: Classy Desktop iPad Dock [Review]


by

There is no shortage of tablet cases. From shock protection to keyboards to portfolios with notepads. The options are endless. Not to mention all the color combinations.

Having owned the iPad 2 and now an iPad mini, one thing I struggled to find was an adequate solution for using the device on a desk.

For a couple of months I’ve used the ZAGG folio keyboard case and despite the small keys it works really well. However, as with most all iPad mini cases, the device is always in landscape position when on a flat service.
