Logitech Keyboard Case by ZAGG for iPad 2: Keyboard and Case in One

Posted by Shawn Rogers in "Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad" @ 07:00 AM

Product Category: iPad 2 Case/Keyboard
Manufacturer: Zagg for Logitech
Where to Buy: Amazon.com
Price: $99.99 USD
System Requirements: iPad 2
Specifications: 510mAh USB rechargeable battery, 246 mm/9.7 inches long, 191 mm/7.5 inches wide, 11 mm/.43 inches high, .345 kg/12.2 oz. in weight.

Pros:

  • Keyboard, stand, case in one;
  • Easy to use, effective design;
  • Sturdy aluminium shell for a long life.

Cons:

  • Keys may be too small for those with larger hands;
  • No protection for the back of your iPad;
  • Some questions about long term durability.

Summary:

The Logitech Keyboard Case by ZAGG for iPad 2 combines 3 popular iPad 2 accessories into one small profile product: a protective case, a stand, and a Bluetooth keyboard. It is ideal for those that are hoping to use their iPad 2 as a replacement to a laptop, as the small profile makes it easy to slip your iPad 2 and keyboard into a small carry on, and the Bluetooth keyboard makes writing emails or editing documents a snap. However, those with larger hands or who want full body protection for their iPad 2 will find this product lacking.

Global iPad2 Sales Delayed?

Posted by Michael Knutson in "Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad" @ 11:30 PM

"Less than a week after its launch in the United States, the iPad 2 is simply gone. If you don't have one already, you're not likely to get one anytime soon unless you have equal measures of patience and perseverance. Apple's retail stores are occasionally (and sporadically) getting new shipments, but the lines outside stores in key markets like New York City and San Francisco are still huge. Shipping time for online iPad 2 orders has increased to 4-5 weeks. The picture is clear: demand for the iPad 2 is vastly outstripping supply."

Wait times for an iPad 2 here in the US have increased from (ships in) 2-3 weeks to (ships in) 4-5 weeks - for all models. Demand is far exceeding supply. Speculation is rife that Apple will either delay the international launch, or provide a token shipment to somewhat placate international users. Guesstimates range from 50,000 for the UK, to a whopping 500 for New Zealand, but analysts admit that these are wild guesses at best. One last guess is that Apple has held back inventory from the US market in order to have supplies available internationally, but this appears less likely. We'll see on March 25th. Based on this information, I don't feel so dumb for standing in line for three hours to get my iPad 2. Will this work to competitors' advantage? Will you buy a Galaxy Tab or a Xoom or some other tablet rather than waiting?

iPad 2 In Production, Says Wall Street Journal

Posted by Michael Knutson in "Apple News" @ 09:30 AM

"Apple's production partners are already hard at work on the new model of iPad, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal."

Apparently a prototype iPad 2 was spotted by a Reuters reporter at the launch of The Daily. Speculation is that it'll launch on the iPad's launch anniversary: April 3, and that Foxconn has already been asked (the article uses the term ordered) to have market-ready quantities ready by the end of February 2011. The Journal says that there will be at least a front-facing camera and a higher resolution (but not Retina) screen. Rumors include an SD card slot, thinner and lighter, a faster graphics processor, more memory, and two cameras.
