• 11 months ago • 1,193 views
I have a confession: I am an iPad addict. Every night before I sleep, I use my iPad in bed for a minimum 30 minutes before nodding off. As much as I love the iPad, it’s not the most comfortable thing to hold for a prolonged period of time. If you are like me, you probably use it lying down with one hard edge propped against your body. Most of...

Late 2011, Apple announced the iPod Nano (1st generation) replacement program. Apparently, there’s a battery overheating problem in some of the devices sold in 2005 and 2006. So to be safe, 5 years later Apple is recalling all the devices that are possibly affected. My 1st gen iPod Nano never actually gave me a problem. In fact I barely used it all these years ever since owning an iPhone. But...

After these few weeks, I cannot fathom how I ever went without a proper stand for my iPad! The FlipBlade is one...
