Landing Zone Dock connects MacBook Air

LandingZone is a simple and elegant docking station for Macbook Air. It’s a whole new way of adding security while simultaneously extending functionality — all in a clean form factor that complements Apple's lightest laptop.
Apple designed the MacBook Air to be a highly mobile notebook but the downside is that using it as a convertible desktop still requires plugging and unplugging two, three, or even four cables and adapters.

InfiniWing's LandingZone offers a solution that quickly converts a MacBook Air to use with an external monitor, wired Ethernet connection, and up to 4 USB 2.0 ports.  http://landingzone.net/what-is-landing-zone/

iPad 2 faster, better, same price

 The iPad 2 is thin: just 0.34 inch thick and weighs as little as 1.33 pounds, so it feels completely comfortable in your hands. It has a faster processor, a camera and retails at the same prices as the original (from £399.00).

With its easy-to-use interface, amazing features, and rock-solid stability, iOS is the foundation of iPad. And it makes surfing the web, checking email, watching movies, and reading books completely natural. With thousands of apps in practically every category, iOS is the platform for the world’s largest collection of mobile apps.

Because Apple makes both the iPad hardware and the operating system, everything works together seamlessly and intelligently. This makes it possible for built-in apps and apps from the App Store to take advantage of the iPad hardware. So Multi-Touch, the accelerometer, the three-axis gyro, accelerated graphics, and the powerful processor are always in play when you’re surfing the web, watching movies, gaming, and going from app to app to app.
