PadPivot: on your legs,ready , ....start!

http://www.padpivot.com/

Look at this stand:
It's developed to rest on your leg !



What is the Padpivot made of?

The main body is made of durable ABS plastic.
The edges are TPE (rubber) which is both grippy and protective so your tablet or pad will not be scratched or marked.


What is the Grip Plate made of?

The grip plate is made of a special material that has embedded tack properties. The grip can be rejuvenated by rinsing it in water and air dry. The Grip Plate won't adhere to cases that are extremely textured, silicone-based or made of natural fibers. However, these cases can still be propped on the non-slip Dustcover. We found the full tack properties of the Grip Plate are not always desired. The Grip Plate works well with thermally, molded, semi soft grip cases.


Will it work with Cases?

In "Stand" mode - PadPivot is designed to work with many pads & tablets with cases on them. We have product tested with many cases for iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab, but we can't test them all.  In "Lap" mode - The Grip Plate won't work with cases that are extremely textured or silicone-based. However these cases can still be propped on the non-slip Dustcover as the full tack properties of the Grip Plate are not always required. The Grip Plate works well with thermally, molded, grip style cases.



Won't the "Grip Plate" get dirty in my pocket?

The "Grip Plate" will collect dusty friends when not attached so we included a cover that keeps it clean and happy.

Do I always have to use the "Grip Plate"?

No, there are times when you might like to rest your Tablet on the non-slip dust cover. The PadPivot won't stay attached but sometimes that might be preferred.

How strong is the holding power of the "Grip Plate"?

It's strong enough to provide great support while sitting with your tablet on your lap or when using the pivot function. The PadPivot weighs next to nothing so it doesn't take a whole lot of holding power to stay with your tablet as you move it around your desk or from one leg to the other.

The "Grip Plate" is not a mechanical connection or a harness and should never be used to hang the full weight of a device. Never use the PadPivot as a handle! Common sense will go a long way in keeping your Tablet safe.


Will PadPivot fit my legs?

PadPivot was product tested on humans. The base body has a generous arc and should fit nicely on any person's thigh. For thinner thighs, like Jim's son Hadden (he has bird legs), we recommend using the included "Tether Strap". It allows the "Wings" of the base to fold around a smaller thigh. The strap is adjustable for added comfort.

Will it grip on my pants?

The entire bottom of the PadPivot is covered in TPE rubber. We have sourced a material with the best coefficient of friction and durability we could offer. What the hell is Coefficient of Friction? Well lets just say its super grippy.

Is PadPivot shipping to Asia?

$20 for shipping to Asia.

What is the shipping costs to Europe?

$15 for shipping to Europe.

When will the PadPivots ship?

We are targeting April 2011

How do I purchase 2 units on KickStarter?

You asked. We listened. The PadPivot Double Pack is now available at Kickstarter.

Get one for yourself and one to share. Each comes with our special embroidered bag identifying you as a "PadPivot KickStarter". 2 Names in Bold on the website, book, and e-book. Sharing is good.

Meet the ideal outdoor-companions: Adam, Goliath Adamant Pro™ and My Ditto

Lots of people got interested in Adam because of his promising new type of screen: the PixelQI. That screen has the particularity to act like a normal LCD-screen indoor and to be very readable outdoors, in the bright sunlight. This is where you will see your Adam working in it's full glory. One thing is sure: outdoor means more risks! You'll have to protect your valuable item like no-other.

That's where Goliath Adamant Pro comes to the rescue. This, still under development, case is your best friend to protect your Adam ... and it's clever too!

The Goliath Adamant Pro™ can be used in three ways: 


1) Santoprene or TPU only cover (material hasn't been decided on yet) which is also called the "SecondSkin": This material gives us higher impact resistance, less compression, and it wont cut or tear. It's intended as a basic protection for our Adams, with the added perk of screen protection. The latter is done by elevating the corners of the SecondSkin to just above the screen. If you were to lay the Adam flat face down, the screen will never touch the surface.
2) SecondSkin + Polypro Outer Shell: The Polypro is durable and flexible and it tightly wraps around the SecondSkin. The combination of the two will dissipate impacts across the SecondSkin like a bike helmet does.
3) SecondSkin + Polypro Outer Shell + Lid: You can click off the lid and turn it around so you can either use it as a stand or fold it double for comfort, like you would be holding a magazine. If the lid is closed it protects and closes off all ports including speakers. When open all ports become accessible. Special care has been taken to allow the speakers to perform as they should with the case open.


In it's full glory, the Goliath Adamant Pro™ adds 4mm to each side of your adam, which considering the protection it delivers, isn't all that much. If all goes well the Adamant Pro™ should be in production by the end of April. Other models are also lined up for production: The Goliath Colossus™ will be Impact,  Dust, and Water proof, a still nameless slimmer profile case and possibly even an EMP protection suite that will fit around the Goliath Adamant Pro™.  
But now, who the hell is My Dittohttp://www.my-ditto.com/ (Dane Elec)
Well this year Adam was quite popular on CES, but last year somebody won the award for best innovation: The My Ditto from Dane-Elec. It's a NAS (Network Attached Storrage device) . What makes it so special? Well it's a hard-disk, actually two hard-discs are possible (2nd one to copy the first: RAID 0-1) max 2x2T connected to your router by Ethernet-cable and actually NO software to install. Instead you get 2 USB-keys, that you just have to plug in a computer to get access to your hard disk with a password. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOUR COMPUTER IS LOCATED AT HOME OR AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD !!! As long as you have Internet-access, the key does the rest.
"But... won't that only work on a PC or a MAC ?!" Of course not, it was a "best innovation" winner remember ? It runs on pretty much any OS. Even on our Android devices! Simply get the FREE Android App and you'll be able to access the drives from your Adam, anywhere, anytime!


Now, can you imagine that when you're going on vacation and are taking lots of pictures, you'll be looking at them on your Adam PQi 3G ? But then you'll have the added luxury of immediately storing them safely on your hard-disk... at home! You simply have permanent access to all your media. Of course at home it backups all your computers connected to your router and supports VPN, Itunes, Ftp,....stream everything to your mediaplayer, XBOX or PS3. Only thing you'll have to get, is a decent 3G carrier subscription that won't make you bankrupt for when you don't have a normal wifi connection available. ;)
So when put together for outdoor use, I think we can truly speak of a very remarkable trio.

ARC-mouse versus GoBIKE

(product found by Heyloa Keyloa)
Hello there ,
Last year I bought my bike. A revolutionary type op foldingbike developed for DAHON by GoBike. It was the last one of a prototype serie they used for developing their ยต-serie. It has some special particularities like:
- a belt!
- asymmetrical fork
- anti-turnover system
- Titan saddle
- locking-mechanisme
- ...
Here it is:



 Why I tell you about this bike? Well it has some similarities  with the ARC mouse from Microsoft. Look for yourself:

  • Battery Status Indicator
    You won't get caught with a dead battery—the Battery Status LED Indicator glows red when the battery is running low.











  • Snap-in Transceiver
    Micro-Transceiver snaps into the bottom of the mouse.

    Easily switch between open windows with the click of a button.

    Popular foldable stand

    This is the stand  people first bought. It is very popular  and easy to find on the net when you look for Ipad stand  in Google.  It should cost between 15 &nd 20  dollars or around 15  euro . The nice thing about this stand is that it fits very well with the curve of the Adam and you can use it either in Portrait or Landscapemode.
