The new iPad is a lot like the old iPad, except when it comes to Smart Covers. Apparently some old Smart Covers and third-party cases aren’t working with the new iPad. The reason? Polarity matters now.
The rumour mills are churning away trying to sort out exactly what the iPad 3 that everyone assumes will be unveiled on Thursday morning (Australian time) will be like. It’s now suggested that it’ll be joined by a revised fully covering Smart Cover as well.
When the iPad 2 was announced, its most exciting new feature was a folding Smart Cover/stand that made iPhone users a little jealous. Until the TidyTilt becomes available, since it includes the same functionality, but on a smaller scale — mostly.
When it’s finally available, Asus’ Eee Pad Transformer Prime will be inevitably compared and reviewed against the iPad. And one feature that will certainly help its cause is this Smart Cover that takes a more intricate folding approach to Apple’s original design.
The iPad 2 has plenty of educational apps going for it. But Evernote Peek is the first one to take advantage of the Smart Cover that comes with it.
The iPad 2 Smart Cover is pretty cool and all, but this cherrywood Minot cover, which has the same wake/sleep functionality as the real smart cover, and rolls up into a stand, has me reconsidering my options.
