Meet Clibe. The ultimate iPad notebook app. Although I believe nothing will ever replace my Moleskine, this is an app that comes closest of all the ones I’ve tried.
Clibe is a cloud based notebook, meaning that everything you create on your iPad is accessible from your PC as well. But what makes Clibe better than all the other note apps out there is that it allows you to scribble, type and draw very easily. Select the kind of paper you want (blank, ruled or checked), everything is possible. Add to this that you can add pictures from your iPad or imported from Facebook and you have a cool app.
You can also share notebooks with others. Allowing you to easily share your ideas and collaborate.
Summarizing: Go get it. As long as it is still in Beta the app is downloadable for free so be quick!
As you know I am quite the bags & accessories freak. And I’m always on the look out for cool new brands. And I found one. Or better, they found me. Meet Landmarks & Lions. The brand was founded by creative mind Canyon Crosby. The brand is based on his intense longing to create, develop, and communicate my philosophy of the well-lived life. The products are the result of his creative drive and entrepreneurial spirit combined with personal travel experiences.
And the result is very nice if you ask me. Simple, functional, very well constructed items made out of the finest materials. And added to that, they also happen to look good. All you need, right? The range consists of bags and sleeves for your laptop/ iPad/ iPhone/ Kindle/ Nook. And I have heard a nice collection of leather totes is on the way. Good stuff!
Currently Canyon still makes all the products himself, but I suspect that soon he will need to scale up to meet demand.
AND
I can give away one felt iPhone sleeve (pictured below)! So, drop me an email why your iPhone desperately needs a new sleeve (and your address etc.) and you might be the lucky one…
I guess we should call this the best of both worlds. Moleskine, the guys who made notebooks cool are now moving into the digital realms. They have designed a cover for both the iPad and iPhone. The covers hold your digital best friend as well as a traditional blank notebook. Moleskine themselves call it analog-digital ultra-portable workstations for the contemporary nomads. And I like them. The only question that still remains Moleskine: Where do I put my pen?!
Our world is being taken over by rectangular screens like phones, computer and tablets. Besides the obvious benefits of these, they also provide entirely new ways of making art. And thats just what the guys and galls at Dentsu London did. They took an iPad to create these amazing images.
They have developed photographic and animation techniques that draw moving 3-dimensional typography and objects with an iPad. In dark environments, the iPad plays movies that extrude 3-d light forms as they move through the exposure, turning it into a ’3-d light printer’. Multiple exposures with slightly different movies make up the stop-frame animation.
Was the iPad presented as the savior magazines, here’s an app that will seriously undermine that position again: Flipboard. What it does is gather all the links people share you follow through social media, and present this in a magazine like format. Finally the overload of information you are bombarded with is bundled in a comprehensible manner. Just check out the movie.
Just subscribe to your favorite blogs and you don’t even need RSS feeds anymore. Can’t wait to get my hands on this!
Great things are usually very simple. Check out the movie below on two products based on this simple-mantra. Two of mankind’s greatest inventions now put together.
Sometimes you bump into companies that create amazing things you’d wish you’d had discovered years earlier. Pixelcase is one of these companies. These guys make awesome virtual tours in great quality. Anything is possible, from simply displaying your house to aerial tours over your city. All images are viewable from 360 degrees. Just click the image above to see an example. Great stuff, but not unique. I agree.
The cool thing is, that their images are now available for iPhone/ iPad too. And their technology is right at home on these devices. Making optinal use of the multi touch screen, this is how it always should have been. Just get your iPhone/ iPad, surf to this page and enjoy. I wonder whether they can make these images interactive/ clickable. I’m already thinking of building websites and application based on these 360-images.
It’s official: The iPad is coming our way! Apple has just revealed the long awaited device. As you can see it is a big iPhone, which according to Apple will fill the gap between the iPhone and the MacBook.
Browsing, email, photos, e-books, and videos are the main functions it’ll do better than an iPhone and with a lot more apps on the way it sure looks promising. Especially as a gaming device and an e-reader I think it’ll be very successful. I think the biggest news for Apple is that they are introducing the iBook-store. Just as iTunes and the App Store this will be a very fruitful business for them.
In the US it will be available together with a subscription from AT&T for all the mobile browsing. With prices starting at $499,- for a basic version up to $829,- for the full swing 64gig-3G version.
Besides all the technological coolness you just have to agree with me that Apple has once again delivered a market changing and massively good looking device. Well done Steve!
