Verizon Wireless to offer Apple iPad


The Apple iPad has proven itself to be a device that is highly sought after, and analysts have predicted it to perform extremely well in the market in the coming year as the tablet momentum builds up. Well, there is no way that Apple is going to let the opportunity to sell more iPads slip by their fingers, which is why they have teamed up with Verizon Wireless to make the iPad available at more than 2,000 Verizon Wireless Stores nationwide from Thursday, October 28th onwards. What does Verizon Wireless have on offer to entice you to part with your hard earned cash? Well, three bundles will be up on offer, where all of them feature an iPad Wi-Fi model and a Verizon MiFi 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot, retailing for $629.99 for the iPad Wi-Fi 16GB + MiFi, while another Benjamin will net you an iPad Wi-Fi 32GB + MiFi with the $829.99 bundle delivering an iPad Wi-Fi 64GB + MiFi.

Once you have decided which iPad model is for you, the next logical step would be to look into the various monthly access plans offered by Verizon Wireless to go along with your spanking new tablet. A monthly access plan of up to 1GB of data will cost just $20 monthly, and just in case you already own a data plan of sorts from Verizon Wireless and want to purchase the iPad outright, why not? Verizon Wireless is more than pleased to offer all three iPad Wi-Fi models without any further strings attached, being part of on a stand-alone basis.

John Stratton, chief operating officer for Verizon Wireless purrs, “This is the perfect pairing for holiday travels. iPad together with the nation’s largest and most reliable 3G data network allows customers to easily connect on the go wherever they are.” This potent combination of a wireless carrier alongside fantastic hardware will definitely make the iPad more accessible to the masses, opening up yet another sales channel of temptation for the masses. You excited for one yet?

Change your bike’s gears, with your mind

Image
Lately, I have been teaching my son to ride a bicycle, and it reminds me of my days of awkward bike riding. I remember that I had a hard time with changing the gears, but what if I could do it with my mind? Parlee Cycles is apparently working on a concept bicycle made of carbon fiber that does just that. It is part of Toyota Prius Projects, and it uses a helmet equipped with neurotransmitters to read a wearer’s brainwaves. A wireless transmitter attached to the bike’s seat post gets the signal, and changes the gear. As you might of guessed, this is still a concept. In fact, the developer hasn’t quite got the brain control working and still using a smartphone for the controls. I have heard of neuro-controls being used before, but I am guessing the technology isn’t quite as good as Bluetooth. Still, I am wondering if putting a brain control on a bike’s gears is putting too much technology where it doesn’t belong. If we are going to electronically make a way for a

Wi-Fi Connected Power Strip

Image
If you are like me, you have “that desk” in your house that is sort of the hub for digital information. On the desk is a laptop or desktop computer, and all kinds of accessories. Chances are, all of these devices are plugged in to a power strip, and they are a source of great power consumption on your monthly electric bill. This power strip by Japan-based Ubiquitous is the iRemoTap, and it has a built-in Wi-Fi module. The purpose of the Wi-Fi is so it can send information to connected devices in the household. The iRemoTap can automatically send out some sort of message like an email or tweet so you know how much energy that you are consuming. In fact, you can program this thing for a preset level, so you can make energy goals and hopefully keep them. I guess you will have to know what levels your devices have, of course. I don’t really know that off the top of my head. So is this the wave of the future? All of us knowing how much power we consume and making

iMM514 ArtStation Pro

Image
I’ve seen some products from iLuv before, and the iMM514 ArtStation Pro is good for turning an iPad into a home theater. As you can see, the iPad is mounted in an articulated swiveling arm so you can position it at whatever angle you want, in landscape or portrait mode. In case you are wondering why there is such a big base, it is because it has a huge stereo speaker. In other words, this base has bass. There is also a wireless remote for volume and skipping tracks, and it looks like there are some controls on the base for when you lose the remote. As I mentioned before, iLuv has put out a lot of Apple accessories, and I will have to admit that this is one of the most unusual that I have seen. In fact, I am not even sure what kind of aesthetic that this is. The arm thing reminds me of Technic Lego pieces. I suppose the case is like a big Lego brick without and studs on it. Nice. By the way, this isn’t just for the iPad. The iMM514 ArtStation Pro is compatible
