While many cases designed for  the iPad do a good job of providing protection, display and grip, the ClamCase takes it a step further by integrating a Bluetooth keyboard.

Outperform the Human Eye

Thanks to Chris O. for the tip on the forthcoming HyperPrime lens from Noktor. If you own a micro four thirds camera, this might become your new best friend.

Rinse, Soak, Snap

Waterproof, shockproof and dustproof. Throw in a 12 megapixel sensor and the ability to record HD videos and it’s no wonder the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 is winning praise like “best watertight point and shoot we’ve used” from Wired magazine. A quick check on Cnet’s site and I see that Wired is not alone with their [...]
