Carnegie Mellon University and Web Wise Kids have worked together to create the BeSeen […]

As I’ve mentioned before, the thing I haven’t liked about the iPads I’ve owned is the on-screen keyboard. The virtual keys don’t lend themselves to touch typing.

I don’t normally use screen protectors on my electronics. Most screen and body protectors require liquid for a smooth application, and the application directions warn you to remove the battery and keep the device turned off for a couple of days until the liquid has all evaporated. That’s great, but Apple iPhones and iPads don’t

The Polaroid Z340 Camera from Photojojo is a new twist on instant cameras.

Do you remember those travel alarm clocks that looked like leather-covered makeup compacts and opened up to display a small alarm clock for the hotel nightstand?

I’ve started a quest to find a way to touch-type on an iPad without having to use a heavy case with a non-standard keyboard in it.

I’ve tried a lot of Bluetooth keyboard cases for the iPad, and they all suffer from the same complaint. Regardless of any other features they may offer, all keyboard cases have undersized keyboards.
