Since I've started testing iPad accessories, mainly cases, I happen to notice that the best products are the ones not trying to impress with too many features. After all, you're looking for a case, not a Swiss pocket knife.

It's not worth talking about them unless something big (really big) happens, and I think the latest case of Apple versus Samsung, which seems like a never ending story deserves your attention a little bit.Why? Because as of today Samsung is not allowed to sell the Samsung Galaxy TAB 10.1 in Germany. It's the first serious victory from Apple in their case of th...

Even if at first tablets like the iPad were seen as media consumption devices in time people found out more and more ways to use them (see some in this article). And also buyers found more places where the iPad 2 can be used. One of those places is inside a car, not while driving of course, but a large 9.7 screen device like the iPad 2 is useful for things like GPS navigation, audio player or even rear seat entertainment system. And it's cheaper too compared to dedicated aftermarket devices of f...

Hitpad is one of the many free iPad apps found in the Apple AppStore, but it's also the most innovative news app I've seen in a while. Why? Because most news app allow you to subscribe to your favourite websites and then you get notified when new items are published.Google Reader is essentially an RSS news app for example, where you can read all the feeds you've subscriber to. Hitpad is a little bit different in regards to what news are being displayed. In the Hitpad news app for iPad (and i...

I don't know about you, but the program I use most for chatting is Yahoo Messenger. Gtalk, Facebook chat, Windows messenger and other programs don't even come close to the time I spend talking with my peers on Yahoo Messenger. Naturally I was excited when I come upon Yahoo Messenger for iPad, which is why I'm going to review it in this article.Despite the fact usually tablets apps are simplified when compared with similar desktop apps this is not the case with Yahoo Messenger for iPad, which...
