TechSafe Case targets iPad


If you’re an iPad 2 owners, you’re extremely blessed because you have a plethora of accessories to choose from. The only downside is this – with so many choices floating around, how are you going to make a decent decision? I guess this is where tech sites come in handy as they present it to you as it is, leaving you to figure out whether the context of presentation fits your needs and lifestyle.

Griffin Technology has just unveiled their TechSafe Case for iPad 2 which offers a vital anchor point that makes sure your iPad 2 does not get stolen in a public place like Starbucks whenever you need to get up and have your attention occupied elsewhere for a while, thanks to the security of a desktop cable locking system that comes along with it.

Taking just a few seconds to lock down your iPad 2, this is far safer than asking someone else at the local coffee joint to look after your device while you make your way to the loo – after all, you never know whether that person was about to leave and takes the opportunity to embark from that place with your iPad 2 in hand – for good. Constructed using protective polycarbonate, the TechSafe Case will lock around your iPad while delivering a secure anchor point for the included 4-digit combination-lock security cable.

All you need to do is key in the code, press the lock’s plunger, and it will automatically release the tablet and case for carrying. Isn’t that highly convenient without being cumbersome? Glad to know it is also small enough to ensure your iPad 2 does not become a chore to tote around. Griffin goes one step further by offering you online storage space to stash away your unique 4-digit combination-lock code just in case your mind plays a little bit of hide and seek with you.

Security, protection and usability in a single package – what else can you ask for? With two foldout workstands accompanying this $79.99 purchase (one inclined for typing and tapping, and one for upright landscape viewing), the TechSafe Case and Cable Lock seems to be a decent must-have purchase.

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
