Car Charger for iPad.

Kensington PowerBolt Micro Charger
Perfect for when you are dashing off to an inservice and you have forgotten to charge your iPad. Kensington’s $24.95 PowerBolt Micro Car Charger provides 2.1A of power for charging, but for an extra $5.00 I would get one with a double USB port so you can charge you iPod at the same time. Obviously it also charges your iPhone. All of this from your cigarette lighter - which most of us don't use anyway.




ZAGGmate



Zaggmate is a sexy lightweight protective case for your iPad that also doubles as a bluetooth keyboard for easy convenient typing. FoxNews says this is a tech accessories that would not break the bank. At $99.99 US this is one way to get more out of your iPad device.



PenGo Stylus


After I blogged about the Nomad Brush I found another set of tools worth looking at - PenGo. These guys are a group of artists and designers who have got together to create a set of tools for the new touch screen devices on the market. The TouchPen retails online for $14.99 US

Not only have they developed a TouchPen stylus but also a BrushPen that allows you to write, draw, paint or navigate on the iPad, They work on any capacitive touch screen or application, providing the comfort and control of a pen instead of being "all thumbs" with your fingers.


PenGo Creative have also developed and are about to release a Drawing and Painting app - PenGo Paint. No release date has been set yet but check their website for announcements of the upcoming launch on iTunes.

These look good, especially as some of my students struggle with the fine hand-eye co-ordination skills necessary when working on detailed images on the iPad. I will have to get a few for my art classes - test them out. I'll let you know what my students think.
