James Bond Would Be Jealous – iPad Gets Laser Keyboard Accessory. By Jillian | January 24, 2012 | 2 comments If any one of you says that you wouldn’t like to be a little more like James Bond (or at least have a few of his gadgets) I will think you are lying. We’ve seen virtual keyboards on television shows and in the movies but thanks to one of my favorite online retailers, Hammacher Schlemmer, you can own one of your own! Operating without wires using Bluetooth, this keyboard will project a fully operational Class II laser-generated keyboard onto any flat, opaque surface. The keyboard itself is 9 3/4″-wide x 4″-deep with 3/4″ keys once projected and promises to recognize “keystrokes in three dimensions by an optical sensor that detects finger placement at different areas on the keyboard, distinguishing between a finger hovering above the space bar or a number key.”
Worried this keyboard won’t be able to keep up with your amazing touch-typing? Want to bring it to your next meeting or class? One Keyboard For Your Computer Or iPhone. Do you like the idea of using a keyboard with your iPhone or other iOS device? Matias has come out with a new keyboard called One Keyboard which allows you to connect to your Mac or PC, and iPhone all at the same time. You can easily switch between the two with the push of a button on the One Keyboard. No more fumbling around with Bluetooth connections using your device settings. There are three models to choose from: the Slim One Keyboard, the Standard One Keyboard and the Tactile One Keyboard. The Slim One Keyboard is small, slim and the iPhone or iPod touch sits on a dock off to the side on the “Minirizer.”
This model costs $79.95. The Standard One Keyboard is larger and provides s a dock for the iPhone or iPod touch right on the keyboard itself. Finally, the granddaddy of them all is the $199.95 Tactile One Keyboard. The One Keyboard is not limited to just the iPhone or iPod touch. All the keyboards have a USB 2.0 hub built in so you can plug in a mouse or flash drive. The best iOS accessories from CES 2012 - iPhone app article - Lisa Caplan. The week-long Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is all wrapped up. A boatload of iPhone and iPad accessories were unveiled including tons of new cases, docks, speakers, car and home charging systems that could make for an incredible fantasy shopping spree.
But, a few products really made my mouth water. Each lends physical authenticity to already-incredible digital iPad and iPhone apps and features. Here’s a look at the seven I am most excited about getting my hands on. ION Audio – iCade Game Controllers Ion Audio showed off a wealth of awesome products, largely audio-related. ION Audio – Guitar Apprentice The Guitar Apprentice, a guitar body with cut-out iPad dock acting as strings has me smitten.

The Cregle iPen transforms the iPad into a content creation device, not just a content consumption device. iPen is the first active digitizer stylus that allows you to write with precision directly on the iPad. Unlike the passive digitizer used in the typical iPad stylus, iPen writes like a real pen with accurate positioning and palm rejection features that passive products simply cannot achieve. With the Cregle iPen’s active digitizer, the attached receiver picks up the iPen’s signal and its precise position as it hovers above the screen (whereas a passive stylus can be located only when the user touches the screen). This crucial advantage allows iPen to actively transmit 60 samples per second to pinpoint the pen’s exact location. iPen is very unique in three aspects: Every iPen comes with an external receiver attached to the iPad UART port, which gathers iPen's ultrasonic and infrared signal that identifies the precise location of the iPen on the screen.
Ghostwriter Notes My Notebook! CES 2012: Grab Your Set Of iBallz And iBallz Cases For The "Ultimate iPad Protection" The Consumer Electronics show brings together some of the most intriguing products imaginable, and even unimaginable. Many of the products and services exhibited are being shared to the public for the very first time. However, some return for another round of excitement. Bouncing their way back onto the CES show floor this year are iBallz, a unique accessory designed to protect iPads and other tablets. The product is made up of four foam-like balls connected by an elastic band. The balls are slid over the corners of your iPad or iPad 2 and the elastic band holds them in place.
These four 2″ spheres provide impact protection from nearly every type of fall or tumble. The design of iBallz doesn’t only provide shock absorption. Even though the spheres create a distance from your iPad and surfaces as well as provide shock protection, the front and rear of your iDevice have no direct protection. iPad 2 - Make your iPad even better with accessories.
