I think we all know about devices like Mophie Juice pack that can give some battery power to your iPhone, but what about the iPad?
Fortunately, the Veho Pebble Smartskin is all over that. Not only it is a case with a battery pack, but it has a high grade pouch for the iPad itself. The 6000 mAh rechargeable battery will double the 10 plus hours of life.
The Veho Pebble Smartskin will cost you about $80.
This is a virtual keyboard for webOS. You might be wondering what a virtual keyboard is doing on a Palm device that comes with a slide-out QWERTY, especially when you have to hit Opt + Sym + K on the physical keyboard to access it.
I mean, if you want a virtual keyboard, just get a device that just has a touchscreen! I mean, there are a lot of iPhones and Android phones for that.
Some of you might like to listen to music from your iPhone or iPod Touch as you are driving, but this App known as Slow Down, is here to make certain you don’t drive too fast.
Slow Down taps into the car’s speedometer, so that if you are driving too fast, your music will literally slow down. If you drive 10 miles over the speed limit, your music will pause until you resume the proper speed.
You should be able to get Slow Down on the App Store now.
You hear about this whole e-books thing? We hear it’s gonna be a pretty big deal. Google, always with its finger on the pulse of our ever-evolving digital lifestyles, has decided to take a wild stab at this nascent market, and is launching Google eBooks today. Formerly known as Google Editions, the Google eBooks ecosystem is actually a pretty grand gesture, and seems to combine most of the positives of the primary e-book contenders (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Apple, naturally), while skimping on the UI flourishes, in traditional Google fashion. Books you buy are stored in the cloud, with your progress synced Whispersync-style, and can be read on your choice of native Android, iPhone, or iPad apps; from your browser; or on any device that supports the Adobe Digital Editions DRM for PDF and ePub files, which includes the B&N Nook and the Sony Reader (and plenty of other devices). Google is also trading on its vast repository of public domain books, with 3 million free eBooks on offer at its Google eBookstore, in addition to traditional paid fare. It’s certainly a crowded market, full of sharp elbows, but it seems Google is having no trouble adjusting.
Fring is working hard to seize on this (hopefully temporary) gap in the video chat firmament, where Google is lacking in a first party mobile video chat solution, Apple’s supposedly open FaceTime standard has yet to be opened, and Skype is dragging its feet on a mobile video call implementation. We’re not sure how long that will last, but until then we’re happy to have Fring sprucing up its own cross-platform solution. Fring just pushed out new Android and iPhone versions of its app that include “DVQ,” or “Dynamic Video Quality” for video calling. It’s pretty simple: the video quality automatically (and asynchronously) adjusts to use your available bandwidth, with an emphasis on keeping the audio stream pure and uninterrupted. It might sound like a no brainer, but it’s a nice touch — particularly for folks straying from WiFi and trying their luck with carrier data. Check out a video of DVQ in action after the break.
