iHome has been making some interesting iPad accessories for a long time now, and the company has a new one that has launched called the iDM5. This new device is a Bluetooth keyboard, charger, and speaker bar. The design reminds me a lot of the Commodore 64 from 80s. The device has a flip up clear shield that protects the keyboard when not in use and props your iPad or other tablet up when you open it.
While the photo shows use with the iPad, I don’t see anything that would limit this particular keyboard dock from working with that Apple device alone. It should work with any tablet or smartphone that supports Bluetooth keyboards. Other than the keyboard on top, the device also has speakers integrated into each side of the station that allows accessories for iPad suppliers to stream your Bluetooth music or audio from video you might want to watch.
The device also has a universal 3.5 mm input for devices lacking Bluetooth, and it can charge up to two devices at one time using dual integrated USB ports. It also has an integrated microphone so you can use the docking station is a hands-free speakerphone or for video conferencing. The iDM5 is available right now for $129.99.

I’ve owned an iPad since 2010, and I have to admit, it’s pretty self-sufficient. That’s the appeal: one simple slab that can do everything. Or, nearly everything.
Of course, we all know the iPad has its limitations. That’s where peripherals can come in handy. For instance, how do you connect a camera? What about streaming audio or video out to a TV or stereo? How do you go about protecting your investment with a case?
Here are some of the most useful iPad accessories you’re likely to find. You probably won’t need all of them, but you’re almost guaranteed to get serious use out of more than one of them.Who said the iPad lacks an SD card slot or USB? Well, actually, it does, but the two-part Camera Connection Kit (£25) offers two 30-pin dongles that work surprisingly well. One accepts SD cards, the other has a USB port. Plug in a camera directly or pop in a memory card to import photos and movies to the iPad for viewing or editing, and sync them with a computer later. Or experiment with some other surprising ways to use the USB connection with other devices.

Besides ringing up record first-day sales and garnering mixed reviews, Apple’s new iPad was also greeted with a steady stream of  iPad accessories to meet the demands of its growing user base. Griffin called it new Survivor case “the most protective case we’ve ever built.” The hard shell is a shatter-resistant polycarbonate frame clad in shock-absorbing silicone. A built-in screen protector seals the iPad’s new Retina display from the outside environment, while hinged plugs seal the dock connector, camera lens, headphone port, hold switch and volume controls. The included stand clips on, then folds open for landscape viewing and typing.
The Survivor is certified to meet or exceed the U.S. Department of Defense’s military standard 810F for extreme conditions. Survivor was also independently tested and verified to meet or exceed environmental testing standards for blown rain, blown dust and grit, vibration, shock, temperature and humidity, the company said. Griffin is also shipping its IntelliCase for the new iPad, a stand and foldable folio case with back shell and automatic wake-up closure. The back shell is protective polycarbonate and the front is made of flexible micro-tectured TPU, which folds back to make an upright workstand. Magnets in the front cover wake the iPad when the case is open power it off when the case is closed.
The Sound Cover, from Onanoff, is an ultra-thin thermoplastic iPad shell with built-in rechargeable flat NXT stereo speakers. An integrated brushedaluminum speaker stand supports the accessories for iPad suppliers in multiple positions and acts as a bass booster.The Sound Cover shows much improved low frequency performance as it reaches down to approximately 150Hz compared with the iPad’s speakers, which reach 400Hz, Onanoff said. Male vocals sound fuller and more natural, while low frequency instruments sounds are reproduced more accurately.
Much of the high frequency performance of the iPad built-in speakers radiates to the side of the user, so any high frequency output only reaches about 10kHz. In contrast, the Sound Covers boosts high frequency performance up to 15kHz, the company said.Comprehensive Cable is Offering a USB charging adapter for the iPad, for those who wish to charge their device from a USB-equipped PC or older Mac. Since standard USB ports cannot provide enough power to fully charge an iPad, the bridge device boosts the USB ports’s 500 milliamps of power to charge an iPad in six to eight hours. Charging continues even after the iPad goes into sleep mode, the company said. The adapter is white and weighs about a quarter of an ounce.

-The apple digital AV adapter enables you to display anything that is on your iPad screen straight onto your HDTV. This includes photos, movies and slide shows. The AV adapter is compatible with any HDMI enabled display unit such as the video projection screens and widescreen TVs. Electronic experts refer to this as mirroring of the iPad contents onto the bigger display units. It can also be used in the routing of digital audio signals to any compatible screen. During the mirroring process, the AV adapter is equipped with a 30 pin digital connector that allows for charging of the iPad accessories. This eliminates the fear of having the batteries run out during a vital meeting or during an exciting movie.

You can use the camera’s SD card or its USB cable to import the photos onto the iPad. The iPad supports several photo formats such as RAW, JPEG, and SD.

If the iPad 3 dock connector parts pictured below are real, then the next generation tablet will feature a slimmer, smaller connector. Although the parts have the same 30-pin configuration, the form factor is streamlined and would result in incompatibilities with current dock connector accessories. The parts were revealed by accessories for iPad suppliers website and represent an iPad 3 prototype design.
There’s no telling if this iPad 3 prototype is the production model, however Macotakara claims the device is ready to be manufactured in January and could be released as early as March 2012. A change in the dock connector size would make the iPad 3 the first mobile device since the 2003 iPod not to use Apple’s standard size cables.
It’s possible that if a new connector is introduced on the iPad 3, other Apple products including the iPad stands suppliers would follow. A simple adapter could be produced for backward compatibility with larger dock connectors assuming the 30-pin innards of the parts have not changed. A smaller connector would give Apple more latitude in designing even thinner and lighter mobile devices.
Macotakara also reported that the iPad 3 would feature the same size screen as the iPad and iPad 2, however it’s not clear whether or not Apple will increase the screen resolution. Previous leaks indicated Apple was already testing retina displays for a future iPad design. The model with a higher-resolution display might even be sold next to a standard screen model, and named the iPad Pro.
Leaked components have a mixed track record when it comes to predicting the final product released to consumers. Such a drastic change to the iPad connector would certainly be a big jump and force current Apple device owners to run out and purchase updates to iPad accessories. A spring 2012 release would keep the iPad on an annual refresh cycle. We may have to wait until then for definitive proof that the dock connector has been redesigned.
