Verbatim introduces Bluetooth wireless mobile keyboard for iPad and iPhone

by Scott Carmichael on

Getting “real” work done on your iPad or iPhone can be challenging. Getting work done that involves a lot of typing is virtually impossible.

Thankfully, the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch support input from external devices over Bluetooth. This new folding keyboard from Verbatim turns into a near-full-size keyboard, and even features a retractable iPhone stand.

On the left side is a row of iTunes media control buttons, and the package includes a carrying pouch. The keyboard operates off AAA batteries and retails for $79.99.

To learn more about this smart gadget, or to place an order, head on over to the product page at Verbatim.com or Amazon.com.

Make your summer Epic at Vail

by Tom Johansmeyer on

Flee the cities and suburbs this summer, and head out to Colorado to connect with nature and use your body as more than a wedge for subway doors. Vail Resorts is reading to for you to hit the Rocky Mountains with style and help you get the most fun and relaxation (or excitement, depending on your taste) out of your summer getaway.

The seven-day/six-night “Epic Summer” package is designed to deliver the Rocky Mountain experience as a whole. You’ll be able to raft down the Colorado River, enjoy some horseback riding on Beaver Creek Mountain and take scenic gondola rides through Keystone and Vail. You’ll eat picnic lunches, do some hiking and take an incredible walking tour through Breckenridge.

If the $1,495 (including all meals) is a bit rich for your blood, think about the four-day/three-night alternative, which starts at $289 per person per night for adults and $226 for kids. The deal runs from June 3, 2010 through September 12, 2010.
