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?

The new iPhone 4 is a bit more than one month old now and there are many people who got theirs and even got enough time to get annoyed with the antenna issue, which you probably know about already. This can be easily fixed by getting one of these iPhone 4 cases, which will act as a barrier between your hand and the antenna.

Here’s an iPhone case which I like:

Well, if you own an iPhone 4, maybe you need to know that Apple will send you a free case to fix the signal issue. That’s nice of them. Even better, if you have already bought a Bumper case from Apple, you are going to get your money back. However, if you want a case from a third party manufacturer you’ll have to pay for it. Are you going to ask for your free Apple case or not? I’m just curious.
