The Powis iPad Case has been a favorite on the Macrumors forums for some time now. We were excited to get the opportunity to review this case in person. Let’s just say it’s a beauty! Similar in styling to the ever popular DodoCase, the Moleskine Folio, and the Portenzo, this iPad case looks like a book when closed and has more features on it than you can shake a stick at. Not that you’d shake a stick at anything per se… Back to the point… the Powis iCase is a well made, environmentally friendly, and feature packed iPad accessory. Check out our review below.

First and Lasting Impressions

The Powis iCase is available in more colors and styles than we can mention. Ok fine, we counted 42 styles in all from leather alligator skin to vintage books, to leopard print, with the potential to make your own case in coming soon. Ours is the leather floral print, and my wife fell in love with it as soon as she saw it. This case looks like a leather journal or book when closed and on your book shelf and has a stylish cool thick elastic strap to secure it closed. But there is a lot more than meets the eye with this case. It can stand in 9 different positions with the ingeniously designed stand, has hidden features, and is environmentally responsible to boot! Let’s get into some specifics…

An Environmentally Friendly Transformer

On the outside this case looks like a book or journal, on the inside it becomes so much more. The iPad attaches securely to a plastic tray on the inside that snaps around it and provides access to all the ports and buttons. The iPad can be charged while in this case too, which is a major plus. The front and back cover have a rubberized bumper on their edges to prevent wear and tear and keep your case looking awesome. You can also easily slide a few documents into the inside of the front cover with their convenient business card pocket. Powis has done a great job thinking of nearly every possible viewing position with this iPad case/stand.

We can’t help but be reminded of a transformer as we transform this case into various shapes to achieve all 9 possible viewing positions. This case even has a hidden feature- a hideaway screen wipe cloth that stores underneath your iPad in a secret compartment! How cool is that! We love secret compartments. All of this is wrapped with a thick elastic band that helps in carrying and securing it closed. Did we mention that this case is also eco-friendly? All cases are constructed of 100% recycled board and made from 100% recycled cowhide fibers.

The Powis iCase iPad Case is available in 15 leather styles for $79.95 and in27 other styles for $49.95. Check it out today! You can even get the inside cover personalized for an additional $9.95 to make it uniquely yours or make it the perfect gift for that special someone.

iphone for sale : iPhone 3GS To Be $50 From AT&T Starting Tomorrow

*BAM* Just like that, AT&T destroyed the $50 smartphone market by dropping the iPhone 3GS down to the same level as Nokia communicators, teeny-bop Blackberrys and the bargain-bin Android devices. That whole market now has to compete with the big dog, the iPhone 3GS.

Well, they do starting tomorrow when the wireless carrier’s new pricing starts. Notice this pricing is just for AT&T as the carrier is dropping the price independently from Apple themselves. So yeah, shoppers looking for the $50 3GS need to head down to their local AT&T dealer rather than the Apple Stores. Of course these same buyers might want to hold off a bit to see what happens in the upcoming months with Verizon and the iPhone. There might be some more surprises planned. Apple likes surprises.

Apple, Disney create 'Tron Legacy' iAd, first for iPad Read more: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-20025643-37.html#ixzz187gPZCK8

Apple and Disney have put together a special preview iAd for the iPad that should show up on the U.S. App Store today.

Featuring Disney's upcoming movie "Tron Legacy," the new iAd will not only be a way for users to learn more about the movie, but it is also the very first iAd on the iPad.

"Disney and Apple are excited to debut the 'Tron Legacy' iAd today as a special preview of iAd for iPad, which launches next year," said the two companies in a joint statement. "iAd brings Tron's pulsing energy and vivid graphic style to iPad's stunning display, creating a truly immersive ad experience."

When you tap on the ad, you will be given the ability to watch full screen videos and trailers from the film, view a photo gallery and character bios, and listen to music previews from the Daft Punk soundtrack.

The iAd will also give users the ability to download content to their iPad. You will be able to get gallery content, links to purchase the soundtrack, a mapping feature that locates the nearest theater, and e-mail integration that lets the user send an image from the movie to a friend, inviting them to see the movie.

iAd integration is not widely available on the iPad, yet. However, iAds on the iPad are expected to be available to other companies in early 2011.

Of course, it makes sense that Apple would choose to partner with Disney. In 2006, Disney bought Pixar from Steve Jobs for $7.4 billion in stock, making Apple's CEO the largest single shareholder of Disney and a member of its board of directors.

Apple Looking To Hire More CDMA Engineers

A new Apple job posting, showing that the company is looking for more engineers with CDMA experience is just the latest bit of evidence that Apple is hard at work on an iPhone compatible with Verizon’s network. Te Cellular Systems Performance Engineer will need to be proficient in GSM, GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, HSDPA, HSUPA, and CDMA technologies. All but the last protocol are currently supports in the iPhone 4s. Verizon’s network uses CDMA rather than the GSM standard used by AT&T.

Apple has been adding CDMA engineers to their development staff since at least 2008; job listings two years ago showed proof of Apple seeking CDMA testing and certification engineers. The pace of hiring has intensified lately however. This is something anyone can see if you search for CDMA on Apple’s job site, there seem to be a number of positions open calling for familiarity with the protocol. The rumor of the Verizon iPhone has been bouncing around almost as long as there’s been an iPhone. Shaw Wu, a Kaufman Bros. analyst recently said that Verizon is so eager to get the iPhone that they’re giving in to more Apple demands, kicking in a subsidy of as much as $400 per phone.

Toshiba and iPhone

Toshiba said building LCD display 

factory to supply iPhone 6

Read more: http://www.electronista.com/articles/10/12/13/toshiba.spending.12b.for.iphone.lcd.plant/#ixzz181pfHRss

Toshiba is building a large factory dedicated primarily to making LCDs for Apple, Nikkei said today. The Japanese firm would spend about $1.19 billion to make small LCDs and would primarily supply high resolution, low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) LCDs for iPhones. Apple is directly involved and will help fund the plant, the daily said.

Construction would start in early 2011 and would wrap up in time for production to start in the second half of the same year. Toshiba hasn't confirmed any details.

The timing would roughly correlate to the first results of the factory arriving in 2012, with the sixth-generation iPhone or expanded production of the fifth-generation model getting the first results. No mention has been made as to whether it would be a technological improvement or if it would simply supplement existing production; the new factory would be a more than twofold jump over the 8.55 million small LCDs Toshiba currently makes per month.

Do you like this story?

DailyBooth, the photo-sharing startup with a focus on faces, is out with version 2.0 of its iPhone app. The update is a complete rewrite and redesign from the original and includes a live feed of photos, full profile information and messaging support.

The refreshed application also brings with it a 3-second timer for snapping photos, integration with Facebook and Twitter, username search, improved friend finding capabilities and photo ghosting.

The application should be well-received by DailyBooth users as it finally makes a majority of the web service’s features available on the iPhone.

As the camera capabilities on newer smartphones continue to improve, startups are responding by building specialized applicationsthat drastically improve the users’ ability to snap and share photos on the web from their mobile devices.

DailyBooth CEO Brian Pokorny believes the bigger trend is building for younger audiences who prefer to communicate with faces, hence his company’s interest in building around the front-facing camera of the iPhone 4. As for Android, DailyBoothindicates a version of the application is in the works for that operating system as well.
