July 28, 2010 by Leave a Comment

If you plan on making a case for an Apple [AAPL] product such as an iPhone 4 or iPad for example, Apple has a page on it’s site that allows you to grab all the technical details you need to create the case. The CAD style drawings are available, but to be honest look a little bland as they are just line drawings with measurements and a few hints and tips added on such as “do not block the camera”.

Core77 decided to spruce the images a little by merging actual pictures of the iPhone 4 with the CAD details and came up with the image just above. A section of the original drawing can be found below with all the drawings for many Apple products available over here. [Read more…]

ShutterSnitch Lets Eye-Fi Sent Pics to iPad

July 27, 2010 by Leave a Comment

ShutterSnitch is an app built for the iPhone and iPad that lets Eye-Fi wireless SD cards communicate and drop photos on to it.

The app saves you buying an iPad camera kit although the downside is that Eye-Fi cannot communicate with the iPad or iPhone direct. Instead, you need to have a router or MiFi type device installed so that an infrastructure wireless connection can be created from the iPad to router and from the Eye-Fi to the same router allowing both devices to then talk.

To get the whole system working you need an iPad, Camera, Eye-Fi card and a Router, most of which those who want to do this will already have. [Read more…]
