Twelve South HoverBar


Tweet


Sometimes a 27″ display isn’t enough. Sometime a 27″ display in combination with your 15″ laptop screen isn’t enough. That’s why Twelve South, the folks that brought you Plugbug!,  MagicWand, and BackPack, came up with HoverBar ($80).

HoverBar allows you to float your iPad around your display, using a flexible arm that attaches to your monitor’s base.

Yet another product from Twelve South that I want need to have.

You can buy it at Twelve South.

Lowepro Fastpack 100


Tweet


If you know me, you know that lately I have a bit of a photography bug. I’m far from be a pro, but the last thing I want to do is to go to some event and miss the perfect shot. At the same time, I’d hate to spend the night walking around with the camera hanging from my neck or using one of those bulky camera bags.

That’s why I decided to purchase the Lowepro Fastpack 100 ($55), a very compact backpack that can fit your camera and 2 or 3 lenses (it depends on the lenses and which you leave mounted on the camera). The Fastpack 100 has two main storage compartments – a boxy, padded camera compartment at its base, and a sloping personal effects one above it. My favorite feature is definitely the side access to the camera, which allows me to take the camera out without fully removing the backpack from my shoulders.

You can buy it on Amazon.

Virtual Keyboard


Tweet


A little daunting the idea of typing on the emptiness of their desk, but the Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard Hammacher Schlemer ($199) work through this ’holographic’ principle.
If you do not mind the idea of having an aspect a little ’surreal, this keyboard is an imagegenerated by a laser on any flat surface. Through it all you iPhone, iPad or Android will enjoywriting about full-size keys, even if a little ’too light… to crush. It is worse than a touch screen keyboard, in the end.

According to the producers the keyboard recognizes the “pressure” by an infrared optical sensor, projected horizontally to a few millimeters from the surface. Since when flying keyboardfingers should not be ”obscured” by this beam at each other, everything works pretty well. The company boasts a 100% accuracy.

The speed is not bad, given that the keyboard is able to follow 400 characters per minute.Certainly when it comes to keyboards, size does matter, even beyond the absence of physical sensation of touch.

The future is here.

You can buy it at Hammacher Schlemmer Store

This stand for iPad is so beautiful that it looks like Apple themselves designed it. Thanks to strong neodymium magnets and Magnus’ ($50) very low profile, your iPad will almost appear to be defying gravity.  Magnus is first machine-crafted from pure aluminum and then hand-finished using the latest manufacturing techniques.

Parrot AR.Drone 2.0


Tweet


Men’s (and women’s) desire to flight goes back thousands of years (remember Icarus?). While you may have not the time to get a real pilot license, you can finally scratch your flying hitch with the Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 ($300). Sure, it’s not the same thing, but thanks to the incorporated HD camera you’ll be able to see through the AR.Drove “eye” while piloting the device from your iPhone.

Cosmonaut


Tweet


Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you the last iPad stylus you’ll ever use: the Cosmonaut ($25). I just received mine yesterday, and so far it has been working perfectly.

The marker-like shape is very comfortable, and it perfectly embraces the level of precision allowed by the touch screen. It looks like a marker, and it behaves like a marker.  That’s why it works so well.

You can buy it at Studio Neat.
