If you thought the Mastercard card in your wallet was the perfect tool for solving all of life’s little emergencies, think again. This wallet-friendly backup battery can charge your iOS devices or serve as an emergency sync cable.
With my loved ones long away from me, I have missed the ability to use my iPhone’s FaceTime over 3G a few times. Even if the quality would have been bad. Well, it seems that Apple may be testing it or getting ready for it, according to this screenshot.
It’s no great secret or news that you can get a knockoff version of just about anything in China with just a little bit of haggling involved. But I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to visit one of Shanghai’s technology markets when I was there last week — and in doing so, come face to face with the “iPad 3″.
After promising to purge any mention of the 4G capabilities of the new iPad from its Australian marketing, it looks like Apple has come through. But rather than surgically make the change to just the Oz Apple Store, the company has taken a machete to all its major online fronts, lopping 4G from the US, UK, New Zealand, Canada, and Hong Kong stores, among many others.
I know you came here looking for a keyboard case, but my honest opinion is that if you do any serious typing with your iPad, you should get the Apple Bluetooth keyboard, along with a separate case to protect your tablet. If, however, you have your heart set on buying a keyboard/case hybrid for your iPad, then I suggest waiting a month and ordering a Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover. It’s the best of all the lousy keyboard cases out there.

iOS 5.1.1 is out now. While it’s mostly usability upgrades and bug fixes, you may as well upgrade if you can. As usual, the Redsn0w jailbreak tool is ready pretty much simultaneously, and Redmond Pie has a walkthrough for how to install it.
This year’s iPad has a very pretty retina display, but it came at a cost: a massive battery that in turn makes for a thicker tablet. Apparently, though, the original plan was to use a newer display technology that would have made the screen thinner and the battery lighter. So what happened?
This Taiwanese girl just learned the laws of gravity from her iPad. Not the apps inside the iPad, but the iPad itself. While holding the tablet over her head in bed, she dozed off. That’s when decided to deliver his first and second laws directly to her face, in the form of a mouthful of Apple technology.
Editing text on the iPad can be a total pain. Say you want to insert a word in the middle of sentence. You have to tap just so or you’ll stick it in the wrong spot. A guy named Daniel Hooper thinks there needs to be a better way, showing off his idea for a superior alternative in the video above.
