Out with the old and in with the new – that’s basically the trend with business, technology, and among other things in this day and age. In a modern office environment, since the dawn of the digital age, things are getting a lot and lot more paperless. Typewriters are getting replaced by computers, papers with word documents and electronic spreadsheets, and clipboards by tablet PCs. With Apple products, like the iPad and Macbook, getting more prominent in offices, the necessity for filing cabinets decrease and the need for more iPad docks and laptop racks increase. So, expect more file cabinets hitting the garage sale and new Griffin MultiDocks adorning the office floor.
The Griffin MultiDock is a compact and flexible storage and charging stations for several iPads. Each unit can dock and charge up to 10 iPad devices at the same time. It features LED light indicators for displaying the charge status of each individual iPad attached for easy monitoring. Each iPad can be docked without having the need to remove it from its casing thanks to the spacious design of the docking bay. The charging process is relatively safe as it uses 10 watts of power for each device attached and it automatically cuts off power for each dock when charging is complete.
Furthermore, aside from recharging the tablets, this multi dock device allows for synchronization of apps, files, multimedia, and other contents via iTunes. Multidock can be set up as a centralized or remote charging station, and up to three Multidocks can be linked together to a host PC for larger capacities. This multiple iPad charger is also compatible with all iPod touch, iPhone, iPod classic, and iPod video models. Optional feature and accessories include laptop riser for tilting laptops, extreme duty cases, replacement dock connectors, and screen protectors.
The MiniDock can be used on either the standard Apple USB Power Adapter or the Apple 10W USB Power Adapter. After connecting them together, directly plug it into a wall socket then place your iPod or iPhone vertically to the MiniDock. This lets you charge your device while saving space and eliminates dangling cords. Also, the minimalist design of the MiniDock makes it so easy to bring anywhere especially when you travel. Simply put it inside your pocket, bag or luggage. Since the Apple adapters may vary depending on your place, the MiniDock is available in three versions to be compatible with US, UK or EU style adapters and sockets.
There is no doubt about the fact that iPhone is one of the most popular cell phone out there. Why? Simply because, there’s an app for everything and for everything, there’s an app. But it can barely last a day without running out of juice. If used as a cell phone, for the primary purpose that it has been designed for, the battery life would be fine and will last for 2-3 days. But if it’s use as a portable computer [which for sure most iPhone owners are doing], for checking email, web browsing, playing games etc, expect that you’ll run out of juice before the end of the day. So what is the solution? Adjust brightness [dimming the screen is one way to extend battery life], turn off Bluetooth, turn off WiFi, turn off 3G, turn off push mail, and turn off push notifications when not used as these processes consumes battery and shutting them down will give a little boost in back up time. But how can you make the most of your iPhone’s features if you’ll do all these tips just to be able to optimize battery performance?
