The best thing about buying a new technological device is, besides the fact that you can brag about it, that you can also accessorize it as much as you can and want. From skins to cases, bags, tech accessories and downloadable applications, every new device needs to be personalized in order to take some of the user's features and personality. So, it is very likely that if you have a rather girlish personality, you will accessorize your device with different pink or flower patterns, colorful cases and vivid wallpapers and so on. Also, if you have a certain "thing" for brands, you will look after brand cases or skins, as well as branded wallpapers and so on. This is why, in our days, the multimedia devices we carry with ourselves have become a good way of personal expression, as well as a true part of our lives and daily schedules. And the newest released on the market Apple device, the iPad is no exception. Sure, because it was only recently released, you cannot except about too many features and accessories available, still there are some that might come in hand, besides being fashionable or vivid.

First of all, the most useful Apple iPad accessory is its full size operational keyboard. Why? Because many of you might not feel comfortable typing using the touch-screen version, the full zice operational iPad keyboard is the best viable option.



If you would like an improved version of the keyboard, you can choose the Apple iPad keyboard dock. It is available at Apple Stores for around 69 dollars and will certaintly make your online surfing a better and faster experience. You not only get the keyboard, but a home base for your iPad to sit as well. This is why, your latest device won't take very much space and you can sit the home base whenever you feel like watching a movie, a slide show or some pretty cool videos. Another way you can use your iPad Keyboard Dock is if you need a battery charge- you simply connect the dock to your computer with the USB cable included and after you can sync iPad or charge.



And because people love to buy extra stuff for their stuff, there is a full range of other iPad accessories that might not be as useful as the keyboard set, but at least they look good! Starting with the cases, there are also many options available, depending on the size, the material, the pattern or the colors used. Also, a very handy accessory is the Camera Connection Kit. Using your camera's USB cable or directly from your SD memory card, you can upload very fast, pictures from your camera to your newest iPad. iPad supports standard photo formats, including JPEG and RAW and the selling price for this accessory is $29.

The iPad is the single most recent tablet released on the market by the Apple company. It is meant for internet browsing, media consumption, gaming, but also for light content creation. Unlike many older tablets, the newest Apple product, the iPad uses a full touchscreen technology, very known and fashionable in our days when it comes to multimedia products such as smartphones or iPods. Steve Jobs, the key-man from the Apple company described the new product as a revolutionary and magical one, which is the best transition between notebooks and smartphones. Actually, it does kind of have the main features as the latest released iPhone 3G S and uses in big lines the same technology too.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
If you are in doubts whether to purchase this item or not, maybe some technical specifications will come in hand: Its height is 9.56 inches, the width is approximately 7.47 inches and it weights around 1.5 pounds (680 grams) for the wi-fi model and about 1.6 pounds (730 grams) for the wi-fi plus 3G version. As you can see, the weight is very light and in terms of design, it gets extra points for the glossy finishings, the widescreen, the fingerprint resistent oleophobic coating and also for the ultra slim aspect.  Still, it lacks some very needy features such as the following: a camera, Flash and the USB port are probably the biggest issues that need to be solved within further versions. Also, the intel core uno needs to be upgrades and it also should be multi tasking friendly. It also recieves some good points for the battery life which, we admit, is very satisfying : up to 10 hours in normal support and 9 hours for the 3G support. This means you don't have to charge it very often so you can enjoy watching pictures, movies or listen to your favorite songs wherever you are.



In terms of prices, here are some ideas about how much the Apple iPads cost: first of all, think about the version you want to buy. If you already purchased an iPad, then it must have been the wi-fi simple version, as the wi-fi plus 3G one will only be available starting first days of May. The prices vary for the standard version, depending on the storage capacity; so, for the 16GB version you will pay no more than $499, for the 32GB around $599 and for the biggest 64GB one you will pay $699. Now, if you are looking for the releasing of the wi-fi plus 3G iPad, the costs will be slightly higher, as expected. So, you will pay $629 fot the 16GB version and adding another extra 100 bucks for every of the following, the 32 and the 64  storage capacity versions.

The retail package of the phone includes the phone, an earphone, a USB cable, a charger, 2 batteries, a Bargain cover and the usual manuals.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
In terms of design, this mini iPhone comes with an aspect very similar to the original model, but as the name suggests it, it is smaller than the iPhone 3GS. The case is made of resistant plastic with curbed lines and rounded edges and has 92 x 52 x 12 mm in dimensions and 100 grams in weight.  Being a Chinese clone, the mini iPhone is available in any color you want. The front side of the phone looks similar to an original iPhone. There you will find a touch screen and a single hardware button. On the sides you will notice a volume rocker and a silent button while on the top part you will find a USB port and a 3.5 mm audio jack plus a Power On/off button. The back side of the phone hosts a camera and a speaker.



When it comes to technology, being a Chinese clone, you can’t expect to receive similar powerful features like an original model. Even so, this mini iPhone comes with a 2.6 inches touch screen which has a native resolution of 240 x 320 pixels and support for 262K colors. This display offers great quality pictures and because it is very responsive you will never need a stylus pen for operating in the main menu. The camera used on this cell phone has a 2 Megapixel sensor equipped with autofocus and touch focus. Even if it lacks a flash, this camera is capable of taking good quality pictures at a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1400 pixels and record VGA clips at a speed of 15 fps. For storing your files, the mini iPhone KA08 comes packed with a Trans Flash 1 GB card and a card slot which supports up to 8 GB. For multimedia capacities, this device comes with E-Dictionary, E-Map, E-mail, support for MP3, MP4, 3GP audio and video formats, FM Radio, WAP, MMS and EMS. It also comes with that “slide to unlock” feature like the original model.



At the connectivity chapter, the KA08 makes the strongest impression. Even if this product is made in China, it comes with Bluetooth, USB, U Disk and support for GSM, GPRS and EDGE. It also is a Quad-Band device (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) and comes with Dual-SIM card support which means that you can use two SIM cards simultaneously. The interface of the phone is another aspect almost similar with that of the original model. It is easy to use and responds very well.  The battery life of the phone is good. The standard Li-Ion battery manages to keep the phone on for 100 – 250 minutes of conversations and up to 280 hours in standby mode. So, if you want to have an iPhone but you can’t afford one, for only $89 you can choose this mini iPhone.

Everybody knows that one of the most powerful smartphones manufacturers is the Apple. The Apple iPhone 3GS comes as a successor of the iPhone and iPhone 3G, two models which were launched with an incredible success. The Apple iPhone 3GS is the most awaited smartphone of the year 2009 and comes with a faster and powerful processor, a bigger internal memory, HSDPA 7.2 Mbps support and a new software version.  The 3GS also holds the record for the best selling cell phone, being sold in more than 1 million copies in only 3 days.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
The Apple iPhone 3GS doesn’t come with many different aspects from the older models. The candy-bar case is made of high-quality materials, with curbed lines and rounded edges. Measuring 115.5 x 62.1 x 12.3 mm in dimensions and 135 grams in weight, the 3GS feels solid and compact. The front side of the phone hosts, of course, a huge touch screen and a unique hardware button, below it. On the left side, the 3GS comes with two volume keys and a silent button. On the top part you will notice a 3.5 mm audio jack, a Power On/off button and a SIM card slot. On the bottom part you will find two speakers and a USB port (which allows you to charge the phone and connect it to a PC). The back side of the phone is covered by the same glossy top with the Apple logo on it. There you will find a camera without flash. The unit is available in two different colors: black and white.



Maybe the 3GS is not the most beautiful smartphone, but when it comes to technology, it certainly deserves the title for the best handset. As we said, it comes with a 3.5 inch touch screen which has a native resolution of 320 x 480 pixels and support for 16 million colors. Being very powerful, this is one of the best displays ever used on a smartphone. It offers clear and high-quality images and remains visible even if you are using the phone under direct sunlight. It is also very responsive so you will never need a stylus pen. The 3.2 Megapixel camera which comes with this cell phone is great. Even if it doesn’t have a powerful sensor, only 3.2 Megapixels, this camera will offer you excellent quality photos with a great level of details and a good brightness. When it comes to internal memory, there are two options. You can choose between two models, one having an internal memory of 16 GB and the second having 32 GB. Anyway, having such a big internal memory, the 3GS doesn’t come with a card slot. For connectivity, the Apple iPhone 3GS is a Quad-Band device which comes with features like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, GPS, TV-out and support for GSM, GPRS, EDGE, 3G and HSDPA 7.2 Mbps. Being capable of handling such a lot of powerful features, it comes powered by an ARM Cortex A8 600 MHz processor, a PowerVR SGX535 graphics card and 256 MB of RAM memory.



Another attractive feature of this cell phone is the new iPhone operating system version. This, combined with many sensors like accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate, ambient light sensor, proximity sensor and a multi-touch input, makes the phone easy to use. The battery life is assured by a Li-Po 1500 mAh battery which manages to keep the unit on for 5 hours of conversations and up to 500 hours in standby mode.

Most of you, all over the world, have heard about the releasing of a new Apple product, the iPad. And although the name isn't quite inspired, analysts suggest it will going to be a big hit. Even Steve Jobs has the same opinion and is confident that his new product will pass through the inappropriate name and will receive forgiveness from the women, so it will be another successful tablet launched by his company.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
And because many of you wew dieing to know when and where you can purchase the new Apple iPad, here is some good news. First of all, it was for months available only on pre-order, the first models were to be sent starting April 4th. But since we already passed that day, you can purchase starting first week of April the newest Apple iPad from local Apple stores, as well as from authorized dealers all over the world. Still, if you don't have near your home an Apple store, you can also order it directly from the Apple online store, but you will have to wait between 5 and 7 business working days for it to be sent, and that's for the standard versions.



Speaking of versions, you should know that it was launched by now only in the classic version, including the 16GB, 32GB and 64GB storage capacity models. In the first day of the launching, the Apple company announced they have reached 300,000 copies sold in United States alone and were enthusiastic about the weekend, forecasting sales of over 700,000 copies. Still, if you are looking for a new, improved version of the classic, find out that you are going to have to wait only a few days more, as the iPad wi-fi plus 3G version will be available at the end of April. This version will also be available in the 16, 32 and 64 GB versions and will cost around $829 for the best, 64 GB storage capacity iPad. If you are looking to purchase this version online, you will find a semi-waiting virtual line, as these versions will be delivered by 7th of May. If you are not sure yet about buying this new Apple released product, find out that it is almost the same in characteristics as the iPhone, but still lacks the performances of a true full touch-screen notebook, which was intended to be. The processor can be very much improved, as well as fixing the non multitasking thing. Future versions should also include Flash, an USB support and, for God's sake, a webcamera. All in all, the newest iPad impresses the most at design, being a full touch-screen tablet, super slim and light weight. If this convinced you, hit the first Apple store and buy your iPad now!
