Brookstone just unveiled its new iConvert Scanner that will convert your iPad or iPad 2 Tablet into a portable scanner ready to scan your documents while you are on the road. The iConvert Scanner comes with the ability to scan documents in high resolution 300dpi for clear JPEG images.
In order to start scanning, the free iPad app has to be downloaded onto the tablet and the user will be provided with step-by-step prompts from options including scan, delete and save. The iConvert scans hard copies to JPEG files which are automatically stored in the picture folder, giving you instant e-copies of your documents on your tablet.
When it comes to your kids, do you want them to live out your dream, or do you prefer them to pursue their very own dreams and ideas instead? I know that it can get pretty hard if you and three generations before you have been running a bakery, and here comes your tiny tot who wants to be an engineer when he grows up. I say, forget about following tradition making sure the heart is set free is the far better option, hence ThinkGeek delivering the $129.99 LittleBits for budding electricians and engineers.
The iPad is not childproof. It’s fragile and expensive and we can’t imagine why you’d want to hand it over willy nilly to your kids. That said, if you’ve got money to burn and don’t mind letting small hands tool around with high-end consumer products, then this should tickle your parental fancy. Announced as a collaboration between Griffin Technology and Crayola, the Crayola ColorStudio HD app for iPad matches a marker-shaped digital stylus — the inventively titled iMarker — with your child’s LCD-colored imagination.
