Come on feel the noise! Catering to mostly audiophiles, SpeakerCraft has developed iPad speaker docks that would make perfect additions to any music lover’s space, provided they own an iPad.
SpeakerCraft is known more for high-end and custom in-wall speaker systems, but they have now branched out to a wider audience with the announcement at CEDIA Expo of the Vital 250 amplifier, Flobox and Floxbox Mini all-in-one iPad speaker dock systems. The speakers come with a trendy gloss finish, USB inputs, FM tuner, LED display and are perfect for a dorm room, or any room for that matter as they are sure to pack a punch when it comes to volume and sound quality. The larger model, Flobox, also comes equipped with a CD drive.
Since the new products were just announced, there isn’t much more information available at this time. But we do know that the larger Flobox will retail for $399 and the Vital 250 for $699.
TUAW has found an iPad case they may interest kids and adults alike. The casing is a replica of everybody’s favorite etching slate, Etch A Sketch. Creators of Etch A Sketch are behind the design of this authentic iPad case which sells for $39 from Headcase.
Unfortunately, the traditional white knobs won’t let you draw a square face or the ever popular staircase on the iPad. But it is a nice throwback to the day when “laptop” entertainment didn’t cost an arm and a leg.
Aidacase’s iPad case seems like a dream. It’s a full on folio-style iPad case that flips open to reveal an external full-sized physical keyboard. This keyboard connects to the iPad via bluetooth, charges through USB and delivers a whopping 45 hours of battery life. That’s 4.5 times longer than your average daily iPad battery life. As a case, the “keycase” functions like a champ. Simply lock it into place using the magnetic latch and you’re good to go.
The iPad is making a big dent in the home automation field just like I thought it would mainly because it offers so many more advantages over the traditional remotes found in the space for a fraction of the price. $500 home automation remotes tend look like your Comcast DVR remote and so the iPad is quickly crashing that market. So much so that instead of work against it, most home automation companies developed apps, docks, and entire ecosystems around the iPad. Crestron’s latest accessory, however, address what’s unfortunately viewed as one of the iPad’s key disadvantages when used as a home automation controller: the lack of hard buttons.
Scosche just released their newest case for the iPad called foldIO. This latest offering provides multiple viewing angles to make movie watching and typing effortless. The press release appears below:
Oxnard, CA, – September 16, 2010 – Scosche Industries, award-winning innovator of iPod, iPhone and iPad accessories, is excited to announce the foldIO. This folio style iPad case not only protects the iPad from scratches and scuffs, but it also enables the device to be positioned in multiple viewing angles. Users can watch movies, browse the web and will also find typing on the iPad much more comfortable and ergonomic. The foldIO retails for $49.99 and is available at now scosche.com and will soon be available at bestbuy.com.
The multi-touch screen on the iPad is amazing for most of the work that you do, but when you’re really trying to type a lot of words quickly, the virtual keyboard sucks.
We’ve seen a few similar keyboard cases demoed over the past few months, but this is the first we can remember from a well-known accessory manufacturer like Kensington. When it begins to ship next month, Kensington’s Bluetooth keyboard case for the iPad will cost $99.
