PhotoFast, the same crazy folks who designed a RAID 0 CompactFlash Adapter for miniSD cards, has introduced the IPADock. But if you thought it was just for your iPad, you’d be sorely mistaken.

I believe that minimalism in gadgetry is an attribute worth striving for. So, you might imagine that I would like the PadFoot designed by Michael Cornelissen and sold by Shapeways.
Are we there yet? Why is that man yelling? Can I have a drink? I have to go to the bathroom. What are those two dogs doing? How much longer until we get there?
If all that sounds familiar to you, then you’re probably a parent who’s been on a long drive with your offspring. While it’s great to spend time with the family, sometimes you just want a little quiet time during a long drive so you can focus on getting to your destination safely.
If you don’t have one of those fancy (and expensive) entertainment systems in your car but you own an iPad, then the Griffin CinemaSeat may just help relieve you of some of the backseat chatter whilst you’re driving (I could have used one of these during our ten-hour drive to OBX for our family vacation…)
We knew it would happen at some point.
Woodford Designs, “a design led technology accessory and software company” has created the world’s coolest fridge magnet. Using their appropriately named FridgePad, you can now mount your iPad on your refrigerator for handy use in your kitchen.
Numerous variations on a stand for the iPad have begun flooding the retail channels, each with it’s own pros and cons. Usually, said stand requires a “naked” iPad in order to be used properly and that mere fact causes me to scratch it from my list of possible iPad accessories. The Compass Mobile Stand for iPad from Twelve South is decidedly very flexible and a worthy contender for my attention. Read on for more, including a gallery.
modulR is one of the more innovative companies to enter the iPad accessory space. As the name implies, each product builds upon another, starting with their case/cover. Once you’ve wrapped your precious iPad in that, you can add a desk stand, wall mount – even a car headrest mount, to keep the kids occupied.
Hypermac, the company that brought use the “world’s first” external batter charger for the iPad, has update their Micro and Mini line of external battery chargers to support the unique charging requirements of the iPad.
I’m excited by the fact that their entry-level and smaller-sized models now support the iPad. Why carry a 1.5 pound tablet and a 5 pound battery?
ClayWare Games, an iPhone and iPad app developer, has decided to get into the iPad accessories business.
The company has introduced a new accessory for the Apple iPad called the Pad Bracket.
In my quest for the perfect iPad gear bag, I stopped off at an REI retail location this weekend and discovered the REI Tech Wrap Laptop Sleeve. Keep in mind that my definition of “perfect” may be different than yours. I need something that can hold not only my iPad but also my Apple Bluetooth Keyboard, my Aluratek CDM530AM 3G WiFi hotspot and USB 3G dongle, my iPad power adapter and 30-pin dock cable, my notebook, my Livescribe Pulse smartpen and perhaps my Klipsch S4i headphones.
The sleeve comes in four sizes (Extra-Small, Small, Medium and Large) but since this was for an iPad, I immediately grabbed the Extra-Small model.
One of my biggest pet peeves is having a dead battery when I need a gadget most. This mild obsession of mine has led me to purchase an external battery for my iPhone that I love – the Fastmac iV – but its USB port doesn’t charge my iPad. As you’ve probably learned, the iPad requires 10 Watts (2.1 Amps) of power in order to charge properly and many USB ports don’t suffice.
HyperMac, the folks who make external batteries for MacBooks, iPhones and other gadgets, has released the “world’s first” external battery for the iPad allowing you to charge your magical tablet while on-the-go.
