Review: Waterfield Travel Express for iPad 2

Posted on 08 Oct 2011 by Thomas

When I think about the Waterfield Travel Express, my day-to-day bag for the last two weeks, the first thing that comes to mind is “trusty”. I’m a gadget lover at heart and so I’m already prone to falling for inanimate objects, but there’s something else about this little American-made bag …

Quick Look: Clibe for iPad

Posted on 03 Oct 2011 by Thomas

  I took a quick look at Clibe earlier today, and I thought I was Owen’ it to iSource to post my little journal pages about the impressions the app has made. I tried to embed the notebook preview in WordPress, but it didn’t work out, so I’ll have to …

Review Update: Sena Folio for iPad 2 [rev 3]

Posted on 13 Sep 2011 by Thomas

The $99 Sena Folio for iPad 2 (which is different from the Folio Classic, mind you), was updated recently with a slight re-design. However, unlike the recently re-reviewed Magnetic Florence case, I’ve had quite a hard time finding much that’s different in this third version of the case. I spoke …

Review Update: Sena Florence for iPad 2

Posted on 06 Sep 2011 by Thomas

Sena’s Florence for iPad 2 originally had a little flap in the lower-right corner to lock the front cover in place, but in my previous review I found that this design simply didn’t work out. The flap was unique and looked interesting, but it didn’t hold the cover securely enough, …

Quick Look: Zen Brush for iPad (and iPhone)

Posted on 01 Sep 2011 by Thomas

Zen Brush is a shockingly good app for creating simple paintings and images on your iPad. Out of all the drawing apps I’ve tried on my tablet thus far, Zen Brush has done the best job of making me forget that my finger isn’t *actually* a brush. There are only …

Quick Look: Tempus for iPhone and iPad

Posted on 29 Aug 2011 by Thomas

Tempus is a new calendar app from the developers at Mysterious Trousers (makers of Calvetica). Unlike the feature-filled Calvetica 4.0, however, Tempus has been designed with a newer codebase and a far more focused feature set in mind. This is probably the most trimmed down scheduling app you can currently …

Quick Look: Elements 2.0 for iPhone and iPad

Posted on 23 Aug 2011 by Thomas

I reviewed the initial version of Elements late last year and found it to be functional, but a little lacking in the style department (which was ironic, since I believe the full name of the app is Elements of Style). However, the recent update to Elements 2.0 comes with a …

Review: Day One, a Journal App for iPhone, iPad, and Mac

Posted on 18 Aug 2011 by Thomas

  Day One is a handsome little app that encourages you to record all of your daily dealings inside of its cool blue interface. Granted, plenty of other apps already offer a similar digital journaling experience, but Day One takes it a step further by providing a standalone Mac app …

Review: iMainGo X Portable Speaker System

Posted on 09 Aug 2011 by Thomas

The iMainGo X looks like a giant cassette tape but it’s actually a mobile speaker for your iPhone and iPod Touch (or most any player with a 3.5mm headphone jack). However, unlike other portable speakers, you’re supposed to actually insert your device into the iMainGo X and then control it …

Review: Sena Florence for iPad 2

Posted on 27 Jul 2011 by Thomas

The Florence is Sena’s take on the original iPad case design, but fitted for the iPad 2 and wrapped in some very fine Napa leather. The fit of the Florence is absolutely superb, and the amount of protection offered is actually quite impressive. However, I do have some issues with its cover. …

Review: AViiQ Smart Case for iPad 2

Posted on 20 Jul 2011 by Thomas

The AViiQ Smart Case is designed to be the perfect companion for the Smart Cover and iPad 2, providing protection and a bit of colour to the neglected rear end of Apple’s second-gen tablet. Fit AViiQ’s Smart Case fits over skins like the Invisible Shield and Gelaskins, so you don’t …
