Cam takes a look at the iPad mini Smart Cover that landed on his door step two days before the iPad mini is due to arrive. At $39/£35 it’s hardly inexpensive, but it’s simple and works as well as the previous version. He also compares the size and design to the larger iPad Smart Cover. Product…

The device is compatible with a whole host of keyboards from various manufacturers, but there has yet to be one that matches the iPad in usability and portability. Some keyboards out there are great for typing, but are bulky and heavy, taking away from the iPad’s minimalist design. Others are…

Asus’ Transformer was the main topic of his scribblings, and its clamp-on keyboard…
