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?

I’ve got a friend who runs an iPad accessories website, who sent me this crazy video I’m going to share with you here:

I find it funny that there are so many people who spend a fortune on accessories, when they could simply use Velcro to solve a lot of issues.

Simple ideas are often the best, aren’t they? However, I think those Velcro strips would leave some sticky trails when removed, so I’m not sure I’d use them so much. If I used them, I’d first buy the best iPad screen protector to keep my device safe no matter what. “Screen protector” is just a generic term, but in fact I’d buy full body protection for my iPad. Would you buy that too?

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.
