New Sena Keyboard Folio Case Turns the Apple iPad Into a Luxury Netbook
California-based luxury leather accessory designer, Sena Cases, announces the debut of its new high-end leather Folio Keyboard case for the Apple iPad. Known for designing innovative, luxurious leather cases for the entire iPhone series, including the new iPhone 4 and 7 existing iPad cases, Sena reveals a new Folio case for the iPad with integrated Bluetooth keyboard.

Sena Cases CEO, Ramsey Oten, Ph.D., is proud of the new case design. "We have seen an amazing interest to our Sena Folio case which is available in Apple Retail and Online Stores Worldwide.

The keyboard Folio features Sena craftsmanship coupled with classic modern protection.

It is secured with a strap and snap closure for total protection when not in use.

A Farmer and His iPad
PadGadget's Cristi says:
We’ve featured several articles covering the different ways people use their iPads at work and we recently discovered another interesting example. Gary Chambers, a farmer/realtor in Drumheller, Canada, will be using his iPad and iPhone 4 (if he can get one in time) to keep him connected during this year’s harvest.
Farming isn’t the quaint tradition you sometimes see on TV. Farming is a billion dollar business and farmers have some of the best high tech toys you can find. So, it’s no surprise to us to see Chambers use several Apple products to stay connected with grain buyers and other clients, all while sitting comfortably in the cab of his John Deere STS.
On his blog, Chambers was nice enough to put together his list of three Top Harvest Tech Tools that will stay with him during the long hours in his combine....

Is Apple's Click Wheel Dead? Are iPods Now iPads?
PCMag's Tim Gideon says:
What if Apple killed off the iPod line and decided that everything from the nano to the touch is now an iPad? It sounds crazy, but it's possible.

100 Days With the iPad
PC Mag's Tim Bajarin says:
In the past 100 days, Apple's iPad has changed the way I work and live.
Immediately after the iPad came out, I went out and bought four. I have one for myself and three for my senior staff members. They have become part of a living lab within our internal research environment. I use my daily and challenged my staff to do the same. I asked them to give me a weekly update on how they used it, what they like and disliked about it, and how it affected their digital lifestyles. The breakdown from a gender standpoint was two men and two women.
I have been the heaviest user of the iPad in the group. I carry the device with me everywhere. I use it at home, the office, and especially on the road. I'm intrigued with the mobile versatility it affords me, letting me access my e-mail, the Web, and dozens of applications I use on a daily basis.....
