Get Top Dollar for Your First Generation iPad

With the announcement from Apple today about the new iPad, if you’re going to upgrade to the new model – why not recycle your old one?

recycle your ipad

You can go to Gazelle the leading nationwide electronics recycler and see how much you can fetch for your iPad 1. As of right now it seems you can net a whopping $240 for the first generation 16 GB WIFI tablet from Apple.

Not bad for a device that is close to a year old and losing value fast with new editions on the horizon. It’s a fair value if you ask me.

If you have the 64 GB model or the 3G model, you will get even more from Gazelle. The $240 valuation above is for the entry level iPad 16GB WIFI model.

All you do is fill out their form with the iPad version you have and your personal details, then they send you a check in the mail after they receive and inspect the tablet. It’s easy, painless and quick.

Visit Gazelle today and trade in your iPad for top dollar.

Can Pandora Play on The iPad

If you’re a recent iPad owner and now seek cool apps to download such as Pandora, you might be wondering if can play on the iPad?

Yes! it can.

 pandora for ipad

Pandora is a super cool (and free) web-based musc streaming app that allows you to download your iTunes music and listen to it on the iPad. You can create playlists and listen to a certain band, artist or genre of music.

Like the Beatles and only want to listen to Beatles music on the iPad every Saturday? No problem, you can create a playlist and set it up to play when desired. It’s really a versatile and multi-faceted iPad app that makes listening, recording and adding music – just  plain fun!

Try Pandora for the iPad now via iTunes.

Don’t have (or want) an iTunes account? No problem as Pandora works without it as well, simply choose the type of music you like listening to, and it chooses cool music based off your interests.

It has a built-in capability that remembers what you like and then plays music that fits your specific and personal profile. For example, are you a big country western fan? Then when you pick a country music artist such as Tim Mcgraw, the Pandora software will choose other artists or bands that are similar in nature as Tim Mcgraw. It remembers what you like and gives you more.

You can also save certain artists, bands or genres of music and call upon it at will. Pandora is a lot of fun and a great iPad music app.

iPad Case With Keyboard from Kensington

One of the super cool features about the iPad is the ability to view and surf the web without the weight and bulk of a traditional laptop.

Many ask what is the difference between an iPad and a laptop, well one thing is the slim light body. Why lug around a heavy laptop (or even a netbook) when the smaller and lighter iPad will do the trick. Especially for couch or late-night surfing while in bed.

Which brings me us to this cool case I just found  on Amazon which supports my theory of the iPad as an ideal surfing device. It’s an iPad case with keyboard for writing letters, updating your blog site, composing a hearty email and so on.

If you’re a new iPad owner, you will notice right away how slippery the Apple tablet is and how quickly it can slip from your hands. Also you will notice how thin it is and how getting a good grip on it might pose a slight challenge. This is why it truly is vital you get a case, any case. But get one.

However if you seek something sleek, practical and cool. Give this iPad case with built-in keyboard a good look. It’s like getting two much needed accessories for the price of one. This awesome case comes from well known accessory manufacturer Kensington.

As of this writing, the case is available online via Amazon for less than $50 shipped. Have a good look and let us know what you think.

Cheers,

p.s. Looking for something else altogether? Let me know and I’ll scour the web looking for it.

iPad 2 Covers For Your Apple Tablet

Want to know what are the best online shops to score cool iPad 2 covers for your Apple tablet? Below we profile the top of the heap.

1. Amazon – who doesn’t know the grand daddy of retail marketplaces online. This retailer is number one for a reason, actually several reasons. One which is inventory, they have it all and then some. Second is variety, they have just about anything and everything you can think of, including cool iPad 2 covers and cases for your Apple tablet device. The well known brands as well as lesser known mom and pop brands, along with third party International vendors. This is my #1 pick for scoring a good quality, name brand iPad 2 cover on the web.

2. Case Mate – this brand is known for their cool designs and offbeat styles on everything from cell phone cases to tablet covers and more. Many who’ve purchased from this brand before are repeat customers who have already gotten several of their cute covers for the original iPad. When the iPad 2 covers come out from this brand, better hurry and get in line because they tend to sell out fast.

3. Griffin – for a higher quality name and designs to match, Griffin is for you. They have an impressive selection devoted entirely to the iPad from Apple. Everything from cases, covers and even bags are available. But not just one or two, they have a veritable line up that includes the Elan line, the Air Strap, the FlexiGrip, Jumper, and the hugely popular Reveal line. There’s something for everyone here whether you like your cover or case thin, bulky, light, heavy, unique, fashionable, traditional, clean, sleek, etc. They have it for the iPad and soon iPad 2.

4. Otterbox – a well know name in the cell phone case arena, they also carry covers and cases for pc tablets. Their signature line (the Commuter and Defender Series) is preferred by those with heavy use and those who like a rugged case. These are not flimsy fragile covers, these are built tough to withstand daily heavy usage. As for design? They’re clean, sleek and quite traditional with mostly black as the color of choice. Simply put, they’re great cases and covers for the iPad 2.

The above brands are our top picks for scoring a cool and high quality iPad 2 cover, sleeve or case. Keep in mind that some manufacturers need a bit of time after a new model is introduced – before the case or cover is made and ready to be shipped out.

The new iPad from Apple comes out in March, so no doubt the above accessory brands will need a few weeks to get their new cases out.

Cheers,
Zack
