ZAGG Folio, the new kid in the iPad 2 town

Sorry for not posting more often, but I’ve been very busy lately. You know how vacations are: planning, planning, planning, then executing what you planned. Hotels, planes, automobiles, things to see, things to avoid. As busy as I’ve been, I still found time to look for new iPad 2 accessories and I found a smashing one: Zagg Folio for iPad 2. If you want to read more details, you can do so here: http://www.alltipsandtricks.com/zaggfolio-for-ipad-2-review-of-a-perfect-ipad-2-accessory/.

This ZAGGfolio thing is a folio, a stand and a bluetooth keyboard for the iPad 2, at the same time. It looks great and it’s the best tool to turn the iPad into a really small laptop. It’s cute and I want one for my iPad 2.

Do You Want An iPad 2? Find Out What Accessories You Can Get

Tags: , , , ,

I must confess I’m impressed with the speed of reaction of some producers of accessories for personal gadgets. If I think the the iPad 2 was announced only 2-3 days ago, I can’t believe there’s already such a wide choice of accessories for iPad2, from cases to screen protectors and stands.

So far, I think the best accessory is the Smart Cover from Apple. I love the way they made it be so easy to install, using magnetic attraction. I also like the fact that it puts the iPad to sleep when closed and wakes it up again when you open it. I also like the choice of colors offered by Apple. Five colors come in polyurethane and five others in leather. I would have loved to see the same color in both versions, though, because I might only want to buy some polyurethane covers. I care about animals and hate to see them killed for notepad covers, wallets and belts, which can be very well made from artificial leather and still look good.

I also liked the AV adapter which will allow me to connect the iPad to my HDMI TV set. That is cool, I can’t wait to make nice videos and show them to my friends on the large TV screen.

What about you? Are you excited about the new iPad 2? If you already have an iPad, do you think it’s worth upgrading or you reckon it’s better to wait until the iPad 3 will be out?

Countdown To iPad Launch

Tags: , , , , ,

As many of your probably are aware of, the new iPad is going to be available for purchase starting April 3rd. This is only a few days away and the market is already prepared to warmly welcome the new gadget. This is a video that shows how easy it is to use Safari for browsing the net on the iPad. It looks appealing, yet the navigation is a bit uncommon, compared to what we were used to see on our desktop computers.

Just watch the video on the Apple official website and tell me what you think.

First iPad Accessories Are Now Available!

Tags: , , , , ,

You’ve probably heard by now that Apple launched their new tablet computer, the iPad, which was so expected by many Apple fans. but which didn’t quite live to their expectations. It lacks some features people love, multitasking and the video camera being only two of the wishes that weren’t fulfilled. However, immediately after the launch, ipad accessories were also announced, in order to make the device more user-friendly. Well, protective cases just like the ipod nano cases and scratch-protection sleeves or sticky screens were to be expected, but among these accessories there are some devices that are meant to complete the iPad, one example being the iPad Keyboard Dock, which is a docking station with a keyboard attached to it. This is obviously designed for people who want to do some real typing on their tablet computer. The virtual keyboard is not made for speed, that’s for sure. The camera connection kit is another thing you’ll have to carry around with you in case you think of using your ipad for downloading photos from your camera.

The list could go on, but I’m running out of time now, so I’m asking you what do you think: will the iPad be a success or a flop?

How To Tell An Authentic Coach Bag From A Knockoff

Tags: , , , , , ,

Designer handbags are anything but cheap. There’s no wonder that a whole side industry of replica purses is thriving. Women like those designer bags, but how to buy such things when one of them could actually feed your four kids for a month or two? Among designer purses, some of them are relatively inexpensive, Coach bags or Botkier falling into this category. Still, for some girls, even a few hundreds of dollars will still be way too much to spend on a purse, so the demand for counterfeits is there, even for cheaper bags. Many times, knockoffs look really good, making it very hard to tell that they aren’t original. However, most replicas need to be cheap, so the quality is far from being the best. Sloppy stitches, defective zippers or low quality hardware are only a few signs that warn you when you’re about to buy a fake, thinking it’s the real thing.

This video offers a good guide of making the difference between an original Coach handbag and a fake one. If you know more tips, please feel free to add to the comments. Thank you.

Does a Nursing Pillow Make Breastfeeding Easier?

Tags: , , , , ,

Many mothers encounter difficulties when trying to breastfeed their babies, and that’s mainly a consequence of the wrong position of the baby at the breast. This can cause an incorrect latch, which results in a poor feeding experience and sometimes in sore nipples for the mom.

A nursing pillow can help, because of two reasons:

  • First of all, it helps the baby take the correct position relative to the nipple and to the breast itself
  • Secondly, the pillow supports a part of the baby’s weight, so the mother can hold him with only one hand, while she can do other things with the other hand.

Some models of nursing pillows offer also backrest support for the mother, because of their special shape, designed to be worn around the waist. Therefore, these pillows could prove themselves really useful. They aren’t very expensive, so you can get one if you’re nursing and have troubles. They are also suitable to be offered as gifts to nursing moms.
