Apen A4 Wireless Digital Pen for iPad and iPhone

 

While digital pens that enable digitally recording text as you write are not necessarily a new innovation, these devices have become popular because this is such a natural form of data input. After all, many of us might not be that good at typing and keyboards, but most of us are quite comfortable writing with a pen. A new invention however is a digital pen that is compatible with the iPhone and iPad. Unfortunately,  most of the existing digital pens out there are not compatible with these devices.  E Fun has just introduced the new Apen A4 Wireles Digital Pen which is specifically designed to be compatible with the iPhone, iPad and iOS devices.

In fact, the Apen A4 Wireless Digital Pen also improves on what previous digital pens have lacked. That’s the ability to digitize what you are writing without needing a computer as a digital translation medium. The Apen A4 digital pen’s receiver can transfer your recorded writing directly to your iOS device. This is done through the 30-pin cable that’s included with the pen. Also, the receiver can store up to 100 pages of data if you don’t want to digitize and transfer all at one time.

Other features include sharing of photos on social media sites and sharing handwritten documents through e-mail.

This Apen A4 Wireless Digital Pen  is compatible with Mac OS X 10.5, Windows XP or any newer versions, and iOS 3.0 and above. Although it is a digital pen, it works just as well on normal paper. The price is around $130 and is easily available at all national retailers.

Dust Extinguisher Mini Vacuum

 

Dirt is the biggest enemy of furniture or even worse, expensive equipments such as computer keyboards and electrical appliances. Dusting or wiping has never been the real solution to this niggling problem. At best, you just move the dust and dirt around. At worst, you can scratch expensive cases or damage delicate parts.

Now, Dust Extinguisher Mini Vacuum solves the problem by vacuuming dust and dirt away-safely and quickly, albeit with a more fanciful appearance. It was ironically designed to resemble a fire extinguisher. It comes with a 4” nozzle to remove annoying dust or crumbs where vacuuming is impractical; however do not count on it to put out fires! I’m sure that the quirky appearance of this bite-sized home gadget certainly manages to arouse the curiosity of consumers.

Toys that are visually interesting will definitely attract children to explore and play. This concept also applies to this miniature device, as it is cute and small enough to be handled by the little ones. As hilarious as it may sound, your kids might just as well come to your rescue when a dust crisis occurs, the same way firefighters save you from burning flames. At the same time, the kids might have the opportunity to learn a thing or two about cleanliness!

This desktop gadget runs on 2 AA batteries to perform a tornado spree, and with a twist of the cap, the filler will be displaced so as to allow cleaning of the vacuum. Best part of all, it only cost $13!

This keyboard dock also functions as a charger for your iPad when connected to a power source.

Recently, news of another revolutionary tablet keyboard has been circulating around the gadget community. The Levitatr was designed by James Stumpf who created a keyboard with collapsible keys. This means that the keys are hidden and lay flat on the keyboard surface. When you are ready to type, simply press the side button and the keys will appear giving the impression that is elevating. When the Levitatr is left idle; its keys descent back into its polycarbonate aluminum chassis.

The best thing about the Levitatr keyboard is that it’s a versatile gadget. Although it has five iPad specific function buttons, it can be used for other tablets as well. On top of that, it is the easiest keyboard to clean, thanks to its retractable keys; so you can say good bye to stubborn dust and grime. This 12.5 mm thick keyboard runs on four AAA batteries.

Smart Keyboard: Give Your iPhone a Business Oriented Feature

 

Are you the kind of people who could never appreciate the fact that Blackberries often had screens smaller than a memo pad? Perhaps you would like to jump on the iPhone bandwagon for the plethora of multimedia features they offer yet will really miss the ergonomic keyboard of a Blackberry during those crucial moments when you have to tap out long emails on the go? Well, with the Smart Keyboard concept, there is hardly any reason why you cannot have the best of both worlds.

Conceptualized in the People Republic of China, where great innovative ideas are born every day, the Smart Keyboard is the brainchild of Jing Yang, from the eico Motion Lab. The idea possibly draws inspiration from the range of Smart Covers available for use with the iPad 2 and gives its users the freedom of using it as a stand, though it may only be in portrait mode. For that important business email when you just have no access to a laptop, the paper thin keyboard can easily adhere onto your screen and offers a tempting alternative to conventional touch screen keyboards.

Even with haptic feedback, such an input method often does not work well for everyone, especially when urgency is needed. After you are done and need to free up the screen for a game of Angry Bird, just remove the keyboard which is thin enough to place into your wallet and you will be good to go!
