14 MayThe Gadgeteer
The Bowden and Sheffield Minimalist iPad Cases are another Kickstarter project. These cases are made from natural materials, and they are designed to be “sturdy enough to take a beating, but sleek enough for any setting.” They’ll fit the iPad 2 or new iPad. The Bowden is made of bead-blasted, aircraft-grade aluminum, walnut or cherry wood, and black or brown leather. The Sheffield is made of polycarbonate, walnut or cherry wood, and 100% natural wool felt. The felt panel on the Sheffield can even be used as a typing stand. Pledge $100 for a Sheffield or $120 for a Bowden case. Funding is at almost 50% with only 9 days left.Filed in categories: iPhone, iPad, iPod related, News

iPad games for cats?
12 MayAMERICAblog
I'm not sure I would want to run the risk of either of my cats damaging my iPad, if I ever bought one. Poor little Buckwheat is trying to find something under the iPad when patting on the screen doesn't help. It's not exactly catching a mouse or a bird but it is some activity. According to this USA Today "article" (that closely resembles ad placement for Nestle-Purina) they've had over 500,000... -
Which iPad is better?
11 MayScripting
Like all dutiful Apple customers I plunked down the money to get the latest and greatest iPad in March. The screen was nice, at first, but very quickly it became normal. The gee-whiz effect faded almost immediately.
I got the LTE version, and that feature is great, but I don't really use it a lot because I'm almost always close enough to wifi. But I'm sure I'll take a train trip where it will be nice to have blazing fast Internet access. And I like the fact that it can share its connection with other devices. I used that feature, when waiting at the DMV to get my New York State driver's license.
I've been using the iPad a lot recently because I've been watching a lot of basketball. It's a great TV companion. But that has meant that I'm always running up against the battery issue. Because the new iPad has more pixels, presumably, it uses more power. Presumably that's why they gave it a bigger battery, and that takes longer to charge. The computer is heavier, and it runs hot. It's not hugely uncomfortable, but you do notice both things, the increased weight and heat.The other day, with the battery running down, I had an idea. I charged up my old iPad, so it would serve as a backup, next time the battery ran down on the new iPad. And the next day I got to use it, and here's the thing -- I like it better than the new one! It's lighter, the battery lasts longer, and when it runs down it charges much more quickly. Having gotten used to the new iPad, the old one feels like an upgrade!
I thought that was worth a blog post.

Knomo Folio iPad 3 case
11 MayThe Register
Padded sell
Accessory of the Week Apple’s magnetic Smart Cover is very clever, but it’s far from perfect. For one thing, it doesn't protect the back of the iPad. And if you’re anything like me and habitually leave your iPad on a kitchen counter or table, you’ll have found that its not as immune from scratching as you might have thought.…
