Once you have decided to purchase an iPad you decision making still isn’t done. Now you have to decide which accessories that you want to purchase.

The docks for the iPad are kind of nice. The iPad comes with a synching and charging cable charging, but you’ll probably be happier having the option of the iPad standing up.

The keyboard dock is another accessory that you will want to consider as well especially if you want to use the iPad as a notebook replacement, you’ll need an external keyboard. If you don’t think you will need an external keyboard you might let this iPad accessory pass you by. You can always reconsider later.

A better option may well be the Bluetooth keyboard, which is also supported by the iPad. The keyboard dock attaches to the bottom of the iPad, which means you’ll be stuck with one typing and one viewing position, but if you have the Bluetooth connection you can move the iPad and keyboard all around for maximum comfort.

Cases for the iPad are another nice accessory. They protect the screen when you are carrying the iPad around. There are numerous cases for the iPad that are available as some attractive leather cases that can also be used as gear bags. If you like the idea of cases this is an accessory that you’ll want to purchase along with your iPad.

You may also want to consider the Apple Care for your iPad. The iPads come with one year of support and Apple Care will extend that support for another year. Apple Care support is great and it is a nice accessory for all of your Apple products.

Another accessory that you may want to consider is the power adapter for the USB port, which allows you to charge your iPad right from a wall outlet, as opposed to hooking it up to a computer. The keyboard adapter should also include this capability. If it doesn’t you may want to buy a power adapter for use when you use the iPad as a notebook replacement, particularly on overnight trips.

Another accessory includes the VGA adapter to the iPad Dock Connector, which allows you to connect the iPad to an LCD, projector, monitor, or television. If you plan on using the iPad to make presentations, you’ll probably need it somewhere down the line.

These iPad accessories will make your iPad much more useful and easier to use.

Do you want a tablet computer? I don’t think I do. But I’m not sure. Apple might be able to convince me that it’s exactly what I need. Next Wednesday, if thousands of rumors can be trusted, Lenovo(thinkpad r40 Battery) will introduce a tablet. There are plenty of imaginative renderings of what the tablet might look like and much speculation about what it will be called. The more important question is what, exactly, will it be for?

First, you should have an uninterruptible power supply (or UPS). And it must be robust enough to handle the devices plugged into it. Fat lot of good it does you plugging a Mac Pro, laser printer, and 30-inch monitor into a 350VA UPS. With such a puny UPS you’ll have just enough reserve power to utter “damn!” before the A1175 battery drains.

Thinkpad from Lenovo(thinkpad R52 battery) are well-known for their appeal in the laptop segment, especially for their build quality and design.

Audio from the Lenovo(thinkpad r40 Battery) EliteBook 8440w’s stereo speakers is acceptable but not stellar. They deliver some bass punch and decent volume, but the sound is still a bit thin and constrained overall. The Webcam can deliver a usable image in a dark room, if that’s how you tend to chat, but in normal lighting conditions, highlights are overexposed and the image exhibits a lot of motion blur. Given that this is a business machine, we would have opted for better bright-light image quality over low-light sensitivity.

The Intel Labs Portico project combines tablets and cameras to demonstrate new applications for table-top computing. Despite many benefits of physical manipulation, tangible user interfaces are often less practical than graphical user interfaces because they are built in a particular location, and depend on a large physical surface. By using cameras mounted on a tablet computer, Portico is portable, yet is not limited by the small size of the tablet screen. Portico recognizes and reacts to objects placed on the tablet screen as well as objects manipulated on the surface around the tablet.
