BookBook for iPad—I SO want this

c187dd4491ac2abfc91969dc5150b59b 318x144 BookBook for iPad—I SO want this

I just posted the video on Friday of the BookBook for MacBook Pro where I alluded to the likelihood of a BookBook for iPad. And, sure enough, I get the email this morning saying it is available.

Like it’s bigger cousin, the BookBook for iPad is a handmade one-of-a-kind, hardback leather case. Since it’s for the iPad, though, it also doubles as an adjustable stand. As long as it’s going to function as a book, the iPad might as well look like a book…and a beautiful one at that. The hardback cover and spine provide impact protection, while the hard protective inner frame offers crush protection. As a bonus, the unique design of this case disguises iPad for an extra level of stealthy security.

BookBook for iPad is available in two styles: dark brown cover with black beneath ‘BookBook’ on the spine (Classic Black) and a more vibrant brown cover with red behind ‘BookBook’ on the spine (Vibrant Red) for $69.99 US.

What are you using for an iPad case. Seriously, I want to know—leave me a comment below.

Apple drops the NDA on released iPhone apps. A great day for iPhone developers.

Picture 52 20081001 100406 Apple drops the NDA on released iPhone apps. A great day for iPhone developers.In A Message for iPhone Developers, Apple writes:


We have decided to drop the non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for released iPhone software.

We put the NDA in place because the iPhone OS includes many Apple inventions and innovations that we would like to protect, so that others don’t steal our work. It has happened before. While we have filed for hundreds of patents on iPhone technology, the NDA added yet another level of protection. We put it in place as one more way to help protect the iPhone from being ripped off by others.

However, the NDA has created too much of a burden on developers, authors and others interested in helping further the iPhone’s success, so we are dropping it for released software. Developers will receive a new agreement without an NDA covering released software within a week or so. Please note that unreleased software and features will remain under NDA until they are released.

Thanks to everyone who provided us constructive feedback on this matter.

When asked to comment on the meaning and impact of this announcement, Mac and iPhone app developer August Trometer said, “One of best things about the Mac as platform is the tremendous developer community that’s built up around it. With the NDA being lifted, that same collaboration and sharing of ideas can occur with the iPhone. It’s truly a great day for iPhone developers.”

Collaboration + Inspiration = Innovation.

The two layers add a measure of protection for your iPod nano by shielding it from shock, impact, moisture, screen scratching and other eventualities of life.

It also has a nifty moisture-resistant armband that keeps allows you to be “one of those iPod armband people” at the gym if you’re into that sort of thing.

The DuoBand for iPod nano 3G comes in two color combinations: Amp (“energy red” with metallic accent) and Maxum (“power black” with carbon accent) and is available online for USD$39.99.
