Dock, Charge, and Sync Multiple iPads with Griffin MultiDock

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.

Ford Sync: Your Friendly Road Buddy

Some traditional drivers may not like the new car innovations that give more abilities to vehicles and reduce the tasks that drivers have to handle while on the road, saying that such things produce irresponsible drivers. However, we must all admit that there are times when drivers are distracted or simply tired to pay attention to a lot more things other than the road. Giving them more things to think about may just result in accidents and mishaps. It is during these times when innovations like the Ford Sync are truly welcome.

Introduced back in 2007, the Sync is simply an in-car voice activation system that allows drivers to “talk” to their car, so to speak, and give commands that the car can perform. These include commands like “Find an auto shop” or “Call” a certain person. Back in 2007 when it was first introduced, the first-generation Sync was only able to recognize and respond to 100 commands. Now, Ford is working with Nuance Communications to increase this number to up to a hundred times. Meaning, the next-generation Sync will be able to understand 10,000 voice commands. Other than that, the new commands will be more natural so that drivers won’t need to have a hard time memorizing terms that they do not usually use. Plus, this makes the car sound more human instead of making drivers sound like robots. Lastly, different terms can already be used to refer to a single command.

The new Ford Sync will be available on the 2011 Ford Edge. This will surely make driving not only more comfortable but also safer.

v.Clone: Lets you Open your C:drive in Any Computer

Wondering if it’s possible to take your PC virtually anywhere without actually carrying the unit to and fro? The Iomega v.Clone will do just that. This is a pretty neat software that confines a complete virtual image of your personal computer (including all the applications, settings, the operating systems, as well as all your files) in your Iomega hard drive. You can use the cloned copy on another computer. Mind you, it will seem like you’re just working from your own PC. As soon as you reconnect, this software will automatically sync your data to your PC. There’s nothing to worry about, though, because everything is up to date.
The v.Clone has three specific functions – USE IT, CLONE IT, and SYNC IT. Its CLONE IT function gives you the convenience of taking your settings, applications, files, and operating system wherever you go via your external hard drive. The v.Clone does this by producing a virtual copy of your primary PC on your iOmerga external hard drive. If you want to access your files and applications even when you’re far from home, that’s where the v.Clone’s USE IT function comes in. All you need to do is plug your Iomega hard drive into another PC and you can enjoy updating your files and using all your applications. The moment you return to your primary computer, that’s the time that you’ll use its SYNC IT feature. By syncing your data back, your applications and files will always be up to date.

One thing more, with v.Clone, you can rest assured than even if your primary computer crashes, you’ll have a supplementary copy of everything that’s stored in there. In addition to the v.Clone, you can also get an Iomega portable hard drive at Amazon.
