If you are looking to upgrade your iPhone camera. Camera Lens for iPhone 5 would be a great add on to increase utility of the new iPhone5 camera.

An FM transmitter plugs into your car’s power socket (cigarette lighter) and then plugs into either your docking connection at the bottom of your iPod/iPad/iPhone, or into your headphone jack. You tune your FM car radio to a weak station and then set the FM transmitter to that same station. http://www.iphonefmtransmitter.net/

Headphones

01. Apple In-Ear Headphones
Price: £45
URL:apple.com/uk
Works with: Everything

You’d be forgiven for thinking, given how lacklustre the white headphones you get with the iPhone and iPod are, that we’re mad for suggesting buying Apple’s premium set. But actually, they’re the best in-ear models we’ve tried at this price.

02. Sennheiser HD 518
Price: £72
URL:sennheiser.co.uk
Works with: Everything

Because these over-the-ear cans are open-backed, sound doesn’t bounce around inside the cup in the same way as with closed-back models – resulting in audio that is as crisp as it is gutsy. What’s more, they’re really comfortable to wear for hours at a time.

03. Sony MDR-NC200D
Price: £172
URL:sony.co.uk
Works with: Everything

This is the only set in this list that includes active noise cancellation. Powered by a single AAA battery, the smart, three-mode noise cancellation works well on something like a train journey, and the overall sound quality from these headphones is excellent.

04. Etymotic hf3
Price: £100
URL: etymotic.com
Works with: Everything

The super-clean, balanced and neutral sound from these in-ear buds may not be to everyone’s taste, but if you like your music as uncoloured as possible, these are stunning. You could also treat yourself to custom moulded earbuds (shown) for an extra £70.

05. Sennheiser PX 210 BT
Price: £92
URL:sennheiser.co.uk
Works with: Everything

It’s difficult to fully grasp how liberating it is to have wireless headphones until you’ve tried them. This superb Bluetooth set – like its fancier brother, the MM 450 Travel – sounds terrific, and works great with everything except the original iPhone and iPod touch.

Input

01. Wacom Bamboo Stylus
Price: £25
URL:wacom.eu
Works with: Everything

Whether it’s to write, paint or sketch on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, there are times when you need more precision than your finger can offer. And Wacom’s 6mm tip is as small and precise as you can get with the screen on your device. It’s beautifully weighted to feel like a pencil in your hand, and though it’s costly as far as styluses go, it’s the best there is.

02. Just Mobile AluPen
Price: £15
URL:xtand.net
Works with: Everything

This stylus is solid, chunky and easy to hold. It’s got a thicker tip than the Wacom Bamboo Stylus, making it perhaps more suitable for artists’ use. It’s also a good deal cheaper than the Bamboo Stylus, but doesn’t feel it when you’ve got it in-hand.

03. ZAGGfolio for iPad 2
Price: £80
URL:zagg.com
Works with: iPad 2

OK, so this isn’t cheap, but it’s our favourite keyboard and protective case combo for the iPad 2. A lovely detachable keyboard slots into a thin protective cover and stand.

04. KeySonic KSK- 3201MacBT
Price: £38
URL:keysonic.de
Works with: Everything

Whether it’s a quick iMessage or longer piece of prose that you’re writing, you’ll almost certainly be quicker and more comfortable with an external keyboard than the on-screen one. This one gets the balance between compact size and ease of typing spot on.

05. Logitech Tablet Keyboard
Price: £50
URL:logitech.com
Works with: Everything

If the prospect of typing on a compact keyboard like the KeySonic one doesn’t thrill you, take a look at Logitech’s excellent desktop-size offering, which comes complete with carry case that doubles as a clever stand for the iPad.

Power

01. Mophie JuicePack Plus
Price: £27
URL:mophie.com
Works with: iPhone 4/4S

Pop your iPhone 4/4S into one of these battery cases and you’ll almost double the length of time you can use it for, thanks to the 2000mAh battery. The case helps protect your phone from bumps and scrapes as well, though it also adds some bulk.

02. Proporta USB TurboCharger
Price: £43
URL:proporta.com
Works with: Everything

It may be big and a bit weighty, but the whopping 5000mAh battery in here should fill an iPhone several times over, and will also charge an iPad. A great companion to take with you if you’re expecting to be away from power outlets for long periods.

03. Griffin PowerJolt Plus
Price: £13
URL:griffintechnology.com
Works with: Everything

Make sure you never arrive at your destination with a dead iPhone, iPad or iPod touch: plug one of these into your car’s lighter socket and your device will charge. It’s even got a feed-through socket on it, meaning you can connect more than one thing to a single socket.

04. Kensington PowerLift Back-Up Battery, Dock & Stand
Price: £33
URL:kensington.com
Works with: iPhone, iPod touch

A bit of a multitasking marvel, this one – not only will it stand and sync your iPhone or iPod touch, but it’ll charge it on the go thanks to its 1200mAh battery. It’s perfect for FaceTime or other calls, so be sure to take it with you whenever you head out the door.

05. Griffin PowerDock Dual
Price: £32
URL:griffintechnology.com
Works with: Everything

You get three things in one, here: an iPhone/iPod charger; an iPad charger; and a tray for your keys or coins. The PowerDock Dual is the ideal place to leave your iOS devices to charge – both when you’re at home or at work.

06. iDAPT i4
Price: £37
URL:idaptweb.com
Works with: Everything

If you’ve got several devices – be they Apple or otherwise – the i4 lets you charge them all at once. By adding different tips to the unit (it comes with one dock connector, you can buy more from the website), you can connect three bits of kit, and the USB port allows you to charge a fourth, too.

Music making

01. Alesis iO Dock
Price: £139
URL:alesis.com
Works with: iPad

There are plenty of excellent accessories to add music input and output to your iPad or iPad 2, but the iO Dock brings them all together in a single package. The XLR and quarter-inch jack inputs mean you can connect a range of equipment, and these are complemented by MIDI inputs and outputs. Add a foot pedal socket, composite video out and two quarter-inch main outputs, and you’ve got a fantastic package.

02. IK Multimedia iRig
Price: £22
URL:ikmultimedia.com
Works with: Everything

Forget buying lots of costly effects pedals for your guitar: get an iRig and the AmpliTube app for a whole range of different guitar sounds right there on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. It’s also a great way to record those guitar licks you’ve been perfecting straight into GarageBand. An absolutely essential add-on for any guitarist with an iOS device.

03. IK Multimedia iRig MIDI
Price: £46
URL:ikmultimedia.com
Works with: Everything

Where the first iRig is designed for connecting guitars to the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, the MIDI version lets you hook up any MIDI kit – such as keyboards, synthesisers and foot pedals – to your device. What’s more, because it uses the CoreMIDI system, it’ll work with a whole host of iOS apps.

04. Numark iDJ Live
Price: £80
URL:numark.com
Works with: iPad

Mixing music like a real DJ no longer requires you to shell out hundreds of pounds on a set of decks, a mixer and lots of vinyl. The iDJ Live links to the excellent djay iPad app (£13.99), letting you control your tunes using a tactile pair of decks, with basic mixing controls in between. And while your revellers dance away to the playing track, the included splitter cable means you can cue up the next in your headphones.

New iPad 5 Rumored To Launch In April 2013

Author: Dan Reyes
Published: February 18, 2013 at 11:07 am

The purported new iPad 5 is rumored to be announced by Apple in April, according to a report from Apple Insider.

The report claim that Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster had reported that Apple will hold a showcase event in early Q2 to launch a new version of the iPad, which will feature an all-new design.

In a note to clients, Apple Insider reports Munster said, "We believe that looking at history of time between Apple product launch events suggests that the company will introduce something new in March or April." "Over the past two years, the spring event has been iPad updates."

Aside from the likely scenario of an Apple event happening in March or April of this year, and the hint of the upcoming iPad 5 having a redesigned body, the above report didn't say anything about the possible specs of the said Apple device.

Meanwhile, another technology and gadgets news site also has a very interesting new report about the possible features and specs of the new and upcoming iPad 5 tablet. You may also want to read that site's in-depth report here.

However, these iPad 5 reports are simply speculations that may or may not come true. Apple has always been known to be very secretive on the details of their upcoming products, whether it's a new phone or a tablet. But of course, Apple being Apple, will always create a buzz and a stir in the blogosphere whenever rumors of an additional device pops out that may possibly be added to their products lineup.

Read comments on this article, and add some feedback of your own

Are you ready for the next generation of iPad?

Apple [AAPL] published two new iPad ads (‘Alive’ and ‘Together’) last night. In both ads, the company focuses on what the product can do — the company hasn’t yet stooped to respond to its competitors with ads campaigns that mock them.

Apple’s app attack

The two ads are the customary laid-back Apple ad spot. With a white background and well-chosen backing music, the spots show multiple apps running on the iPad’s screen, with words popping up between spots to reinforce some of the positive associations of the product.

The ads are cool, relatively inoffensive, and discreet — the company just takes a few seconds to suggest what an iPad can do, with a particular focus on apps.

Given Apple CEO, Tim Cook’s reference to the 170,000 apps already optimized for use on an iPad, it looks like the company intends taking on competitors by stressing just how many apps are available for its tablet, in comparison to others.

“So what happened last year, everybody that was in the PC industry and everybody that was in the phone industry, everybody decided they had to do a tablet. By some estimates, there were a hundred tablets put on the market last year. Everybody was kind of aiming at iPad 1, and we were trying to innovate quickly to get to iPad 2. So, by the time they had something that they thought could compete with iPad 1, we were on iPad 2. We wound up with 170,000 apps, and I’m not sure there’s 100 yet on the other platform,” he told Goldman Sachs last week.

Apple’s ad campaign claims 300,000 apps.

Forbes loses Apple religion

Apple being Apple, Forbes, which seems to have become a haven for anti-Apple sentiment in recent weeks, almost immediately published a deeply subjective op-ed in which the author asked, “What’s wrong with Apple’s TV ads lately?”

My first reaction to this report was to ask “What’s wrong with Forbes?”, but the author’s point (other than attempting to annoy Apple fans) seems to be to bring in a spurious mention of Google while calling for Apple to “get back to its (advertising) roots,” whatever that means. He thinks these latest Apple ads are “ordinary”.

The Forbes’ author’s motivation may smply be to attract criticism and traffic from Apple fans, but he may have inadvertently struck a chord — despite their market-leading position and incredible popularity, Apple’s tablet ads just aren’t much loved by the US TV-viewing public.

An Ace Metrix review of the top tablet ads of 2012 (published in September) claimed ads for Apple’s iPad didn’t even make it into the top ten tablet ads last year. All ten slots were occupied by clips from Samsung, Google and Amazon, proof that the three company’s weren’t completely wasting their huge investments in product marketing.

Samsung product marketing

While many Apple critics love to claim the success of Apple’s products is down to “marketing”, the truth is very different — Samsung spends far more on ads than Coca Cola and coughed up four times the ads spend Apple did last year, according to Asymco.

Clearly then the success of Android products can also be attributed to marketing — except, in the case of tablets, this hasn’t yet worked.

Apple’s move to point to the strength of its apps ecosystem for tablets in its latest ambient ad campaign is an attempt to illustrate one of its biggest advantages against others at the tablet table: the apps.

You could argue that a wide range of apps has been crucial to the development of the smartphone industry. Apple hopes that, by maintaining the lion’s share of the iPad maket, it will be able to continue to keep developers developing for iOS users. The latest ads show the diversity of the available solutions to people choosing the market-leading tablet.

Ace Metrix CEO, Peter Daboll, predicted Apple’s move to attempt to subtly differentiate itself within its product marketing last year, when he said:

“Apple is faced with a real challenge in how to differentiate and articulate its benefits, like a retina display, for example.”

Playing to unique strengths

Apple knows that display quality can be imitated. The latest campaign shows it is ready to stress its unique advantages.  The company’s hard to emulate apps ecosystem gives it the chance to explain how much more useful an iPad can be in comparison to any other tablet. This message sits at the heart of this latest wide advertising push by the company.

AppleInsider this weekend confirmed the company has launched a new billboard campaign promoting the apps empire. Each billboard shows apps running on an iPad, with an adjective (as used in the TV spots) and the slogan, “300,000 apps for everything you love”.

Ads campaigns like these take time to build and this one’s clearly been in the works for a while. Launching the iPad last year, Apple’s marketing chief, Phil Schiller (who would probably love to spend a Samsung-like marketing budget) noted the “night and day” difference between apps optimized for an iPad and those stretched smartphone apps that don’t work so well that people using other tablets need to endure.

Rise above

Unlike Samsung, Apple hasn’t so far stooped to name-calling its competitors, or their fans. Were it to choose to do so, it may wish to take a look at the security (or the lack of it) that afflicts users of Google Play.

A report the search giant acted to control last week pointed out that every time an Android user purchases an app on Google Play, that users name, address and email is passed on to the developer.

The report was originally published with the headline: “Massive Google security flaw puts users’ details on display for all to find.” Google objected at use of the word “massive”, and argued that this sharing of personal data without knowledge of Google Play customers was not a flaw, as it was by design.

Nonetheless, it is interesting the company moved to get the headline changed, but has so far declined that report’s author a statement explaining the issues raised.

(Signing off, does anyone else out there think that claims Apple plans an iWatch make its November 2012 decision to pay $21 million to Swiss national rail operator, SBB, for use of its famous clock face with the iOS Clock app a little easier to understand?)

Got a story? Drop me a line via Twitter or in comments below and let me know. I’d like it if you chose to follow me on Twitter so I can let you know when these items are published here first on Computerworld.

Apple want the world to know that iPad is not just the amazing hardware, but the real star of the iPad is the Apps that is available.

Nothing shallow here.

(Credit: Apple Screenshot by Chris Matyszczyk/CNET)

If you’re sitting at Apple HQ, you must be very aware of Samsung.

There must be such a temptation to offer a public swat or two at the fly that has cleverly positioned itself as the challenger to your own emotional supremacy.

Yet, with two new iPad ads that Apple has just released, Cupertino is stoically continuing to pretend that its tablet exists in a world all of its own.

Here, to vaguely jazzy music, we see words flash across the screen at lightning speeds. Not one of these words is “patent,” “lawsuit” or “rip-off.”

Instead, in one ad called “Alive,” we see all sorts of educational and entertaining excitements. They are accompanied by words like “alive,” “loud,” and “surprise.”

In the other, called “Together,” we see, well, more or less the same. Here the words include “beautiful,” “phenomenal,” and “brilliant.”

More Technically Incorrect

• Why Google’s stores shouldn’t look so much like Apple stores
• Russian meteorite: The conspiracy theories
• Google removes asteroid doodle before you can see it
• Facebook pic of toy mortar leads to armed cops raid
• Apple store forced to change its name

How odd to see Apple boast quite this much.

Apple simply wants you to understand — as if you haven’t grasped this already — that it enjoys so many apps through its beautiful, phenomenal, and brilliant ecosystem.

It stands on its superior pedestal and doesn’t deign to look down.

Still, I wasn’t convinced that through two ads there wasn’t one solitary jab at the competition.

So I slowed the words down to see whether a small, subliminal jest might have been inserted.

I think I may have found one. In the “Together” ad, there appears one solitary word that those who love Apple believe will always distinguish the brand from any other.

That word is “taste.”

This is Apple’s way to let the world know that Apple is still the best and most popular tablet. It is still “the Tablet” for the children around the world.

After the success of the Ultrathin Keyboard for the full-size iPad, there was little doubt Logitech would follow up with a smaller version for the iPad mini. Now available for $79.99, the Ultrathin Keyboard mini carries over the same quality construction and useful functions of its predecessor. But as is the case with any reduced-size hardware, the usefulness of a mini keyboard will vary by user.

Snapping magnetically to the side of the iPad mini — similar to Apple’s Smart Cover — the Ultrathin mini is an incredibly solid, well-made product. When not in use, the keyboard works as a screen protector, featuring a similar, quality aluminum shell as found on the iPad mini itself. The plastic keys are sturdy, offering a pleasant tactile response with each press. The cradle for the iPad mini is also magnetized with just enough pull to keep the device in place, but not so much that disconnecting is a pain.

Obviously, the rigid construction does add some heft. At .45 pounds, the Ultrathin mini nearly doubles the weight of the iPad, but it still maintains a low-profile when closed against the device. Four rubberized pads protect the screen from the keys, although pressure in the center of the cover might lead to contact.

Pairing the iPad mini with the keyboard via Bluetooth is a breeze, and through multiple uses, the Ultrathin mini had no issues reconnecting seamlessly. A handy on-off slider on the side extends battery power, and based upon our time with the keyboard, Logitech’s claims of 3 months on a single charge seem legit. We used the Ultrathin mini straight from the box, and it’s still going strong.

The Ultrathin mini manages to pack in a relatively full-featured QWERTY keyboard, despite its diminutive size. The only caveats, in regards to key placement, are Caps Lock and Tab. As an obvious consequence of size, Caps Lock is doubled with the A-key, while Tab resides atop the Q-key. Using either is a bit awkward at first, but like many features of the Ultrathin mini, it becomes second-nature with practice.

But outside of the Caps Lock issue, the Ultrathin mini’s varied assortment of function keys are a standout feature. Logitech has done a great job of working in some of the most basic tasks associated with the iPad mini along the number-key line. A Siri key makes voice search easy, and a quick-button press to slideshow pictures stored on the device is a welcome addition. Cut-and-paste is wonderfully accessible via keystroke, and the arrow keys can select text word by word. If you’re someone who writes quite a bit on the iPad mini, you’ll rarely feel the need to use the touch screen within a word processing app or Notes.

At .45 pounds, the Ultrathin mini nearly doubles the weight of the iPad Mini.
