ZAGGFOLIO iPAD 2 BLUETOOTH KEYBOARD
Turning your iPad into a laptop some of the time, at least,
is key to millions of business travellers trying to unburden themselves of heavy laptops. This ingenious and well-constructed £100 hard iPad case-cum-stand with Bluetooth keyboard, the ZAGGfolio for iPad2, is both protective
and practical. The battery-powered slimline keyboard is unlikely to run out of juice even on a long flight, and the arrangement works well enough with the iPad2 for users almost to forget they aren't on a conventional laptop. zagg.com
INVOXIA NVX 610 DESKTOP PHONE
The office desktop phone tends to be the secondary line of business voice communication today, the most important connection we have being our mobile. The Invoxia NVX 610 from France is the first attempt to revolutionise desk phones and achieves this not just by looking cool, but by integrating the iPhone with the traditional desk phone into one device. Like all attempts at simplicity, the Invoxia is complicated to get your head round, but is straightforward – and impressive – once you get it. invoxia.com
FUJIFILM FINEPIX HS20EXR CAMERA
Fujifilm is far from one of the top names in cameras, but they have been
on something of a roll recently. Their X100 retro-style rangefinder digital
model has become one of the most sought-after cameras around, despite costing close to £1,000. Now, at the value end of the scale, at around £300, they have this, the FinePix HS20EXR, which has to be the most highly featured camera available for the money. It has a 16 megapixel sensor and a 24
to 750mm optical zoom amongst many other delights. Pretty much the complete camera. fujifilm.co.uk
WACOM BAMBOO STYLUS
If you yearn for a stylus when using tablets like the iPad and its close rivals,
the Sony Tablet S and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, you are not alone. Many tablet users find a finger just too imprecise to be of much use. Wacom's £25 Bamboo Stylus for iPad is a pen-like device with a rubbery tip which makes working, rather than playing, on a tablet much easier for many. Used with Wacom's free Bamboo Paper App from the iTunes App Store, it can make notes just as if you are writing on a paper pad. http://eu.shop.wacom.eu
