Modular iPad Case Lets You Tweet From Your Kegerator

> > View all The guys behind the new modulR line of iPad cases have a clever idea: Let one case take on multiple identities through a variety of add-ons. The basic case is a hard plastic shell that protects the iPad in use. Its rubberized edges grip the tablet securely, while little “nubs” on the back give your hand something more to grip onto than the iPad’s normally slick exterior. They also help raise the device off the table so it’s a little easier to pick up. When traveling, you can clip on a hard plastic face plate that protects the iPad’s screen. At your desk

iPod touch (2010) torn down, found to contain an awful lot of battery

As predictable as the sun rising somewhere over east Japan, the iFixit crew have put their tools and wits to the task of deconstructing the latest generation of iPod touch . Their teardown is still ongoing (exciting, isn’t it?), but here are their observations so far. The new touch is noted as being the easiest to crack open yet, and yes, its retina-busting 640 x 960 LCD is fused to the external glass, just like the iPhone 4. There’s an 11-gram EMI shield between the front end and the battery, accounting for a lofty 10 percent of the portable media player’s weight. Beyond it, you’ll find a chunky 3.44Whr Li-Pol cell, which is soldered to the board as is usual Apple practice, but a novelty here is that the headphone jack isn’t . Great, tie down the thing we might want to replace and untether the one we don’t care about.

Could Microsoft Office Go Multi-Platform For Mobile?

Windows Phone 7 Office Image via Microsoft. Traditionally, Microsoft has been a software company, leveraging its office suites and operating systems, but selling applications for any compatible hardware and platform. For smartphones in particular, its strategy has been to supply the software and let other companies worry about developing the phones. So why not go all the way and sell its software for every device on every platform? That’s what Business Insider’s Dan Frommer proposes the company do : “Microsoft should develop Office apps for the iPad, Android, Chrome OS, BlackBerry tablet, and any other computing platform that is likely to become popular over the next 5-10 years,” adding that “if Microsoft wants to keep people tied into its Office suite, it needs to go where the people are going.” Office is integrated into the forthcoming Windows Phone 7 OS, but would compete on several fronts in smartphone and tablet platforms, including iWork on Apple’s iPad, Google Docs on the mobile web, and Dataviz’s multi-platform Documents To Go, just acquired by Blackberry maker RIM .
