Moleskine iPad and iPhone Cases Launched

A good number of iPad and iPhone cases are available. One of the ones we have been looking out for is the Moleskine iPad case. This particular case uses the regular Moleskine style covers and has rounded corners and a strong elastic band to hold it closed.

The Moleskine iPad case (and iPhone model) has a built in notepad that allows you to write paper notes whilst on the move if needed.

The features and style of both Covers are those of a classic Moleskine notebook: sleek rounded corners, strong elastic band, and the legendary smooth black cover. Inside, a lighter suede lining protects the electronic device against impact and scratches, alongside a Volant notebook with plain pages.

Custom MacBook Tablet Conversion – $50

This MacBook Tablet mod cost around $50 to build. Getting it working required just a touchscreen to be purchased which from what Gizmodo report, it costs $50. Other than that it’s just a matter of soldering bits together (carefully).

The new touchscreen added to the device is basically sunk in to the lid of the laptop. This essentially means that a lot of hacking and cutting up the MacBook needed to be done, but as can be seen, the results aren’t too bad at all. [Read more…]

Along with Sony launching a Google TV, Logitech will also be holding an event this month on October 6 that will see the Logitech Revue Google TV companion box launched.

Windows Phone 7 Launch Date – October 11

Windows Phone 7 will launch on October 11. Previously we heard that an event in London would be held. We also now hear that an event is being held in New York and that T-Mobile in NYC will be the star of the show, so to speak.

This information uncovers some interesting information such as T-Mobile introducing devices. Until now it was believed that AT&T would be the exclusive launch partner, but this seems to confirm that T-Mobile will be available too on or soon after launch.

Also it was believed that just a London event was being held, but now we see that the US will also see the handsets on the same day. Perhaps other countries will also roll out that day. [Read more…]

Boa Folia iPad Case from Booq

The Boa Folio is an iPad case that looks to do the same job as the official Apple iPad case. However, the Boa version looks a little nicer and has pockets on the outside and inside allowing you to hold documents and a smartphone in.

The incline on the case can be set at two levels allowing you to angle it a little higher if needed. This is something I particularly would find useful as the angle on the official iPad case is just a little too low and often reflects ceiling lights right back at you when at a desk. [Read more…]
