If You’ve Got An iPad… You Need To Cover It

If you’re one of the lucky (perhaps, fanatical) bunch who stood in line last weekend to cop yourself Steve Jobs’ latest gadget, then you need a cover to keep that puppy safe. Turns out, there’s an entire blog devoted to the hottest iPad covers.

Amazon sells an iPad accessory bundle that includes a cover for $29.95.

For the classy types, Padova sells this leather case for $209 (if you have any money left…).

I’m a fan of this one. It’s like some wild Jetsons type ish. It’s the bubble iPad sleeve from Hard Candy Cases ($49.95).

Substrata’s wood iPad case starts selling in June. No price on this one yet.

The BOOK for iPad ($89) is ultra classy and great way to disguise your investment (you know how these thugs roll today… if you wanna hide something, put it in a book!)

Tech Talk: Split Costs With Your Cheap Friends

No wonder America’s education system is going down the crapper. Now, we need an app that divides the bill when we go out for dinner with friends? I thought there was a calculator for that.

Splitcosts is an app for your Blackberry that quickly and easily divides your bill when the check comes. 20 different currencies are supported, so it’s not just for us Americans spending dollars (if that makes you feel better).

You can even take pictures of receipts and email them to the company accountant (ok, not if you’re spending it in the champagne room with Michael Steele though).

Steve Jobs Just Made Me Mess M'self!

In the words of Lil' Jon 'AWW SKEET SKEET SKEET!' somebody pass me a wet nap!

The iPad resembles an iPhone, but larger. Apple will sell some iPad models with data plans from AT&T, with no contract required. CEO Steve Jobs says the iPad will be better for reading books, playing games and watching video than either a laptop or a smart phone. Story

Gotta Have Dem Gadgets!

The Card Speaker is a slim take anywhere dance party maker for those times when you cannot time travel back 1985 to retrieve your old Boom Box (not that you'd have cassette tapes, anyway).

How often have you found yourself at the office working late, cleaning people long since gone, and every noise is starting to make you feel like you are about to be Jigsaw's next victim?

No, just me? Fine.

Well the Card Speakers allows you to listen to your tunes anywhere (church is probably not a good idea) without wearing the midnight massacre ear buds. Hell, the Card Speaker keeps you alive! (Dramatic Wednesdays at the Brew).

Tech Chic: The New Shuffle

The new iPod Shuffle should probably come with one of those this may choke your kids warnings. The thing is less than 2 inches and you need special earbuds to hear your music. By the way, it does hold 1,000 songs and only costs $79. But chances are, you'll lose the darn thing it's so teeny.

When I first saw the new Shuffle, I immediately thought of the Saturday Night Live sketch from about 4 years ago, where they poked fun at Steve Jobs and the ever-shrinking iPod.

Soon, this thing will be a hearing aid.
