It’s not that I have already lost loads of lens caps, but I certainly ran too close to the misfortune several times. And it’s not even that, I also find it terribly annoying having to find a space for it and never remembering where I put the thing. Then of course Di get’s annoyed since I’m holding everyone up and we should be moving on, but I digress.
All this hassle and annoyance is finally a thing of the past thanks to this nifty little gizmo. The lens cap holder stays on the neck strap and is always easily accessible. And of course since the thing stays in one place I shouldn’t forget too many times where I put the lens cap.
Video after the break
In a few words: burst the shackles of the wire!
In these times the wire should only be required to charge the device’s battery.
Let’s look at a few key features after the break …
Imagine if you had a stand that could hold your dearest device in whatever position you need it? Enter …
Update: This nifty little gizmo will free your hands and secure your gadget against any flat/even surface.
With just three screw holes it is incredibly versatile and sure to find many uses in your life. At the time of the original posting the project was already over the threshold of successful funding. Now of course it is well into the early stages of it’s kickstart career as a successfully funded project and I can’t wait to get my hands on my Oona.
Looks like TUAW saved me some of the write-up but came to a more open or be it even different conclusion. While all their considerations are true and make sense the conclusion is driven by personal usage. http://i.tuaw.com/2011/03/06/iphone-4-personal-hotspot-wi-fi-only-ipad-possible-but-wit/
On my iPad 1 I used the 3G connection under half a dozen times in a year.
The location features were much more commonly used but I never needed a very accurate positioning, that’s what my iPhone is for. Just an easy narrowing down on the neighbourhood was enough for me.
In the UK I can use all BT/FON wifi hotspots as I share my home connection via a FON router (cheaper than the extra cost for an iPad 2 with 3G).
When travelling I mostly use the iPad for browsing at a hotel or family/friend’s house thus not needing a 3G connection.
With home and travel web usage done over wifi most of the time, the battery use issue does not apply for me.
Hence in conclusion I am considering at the moment not getting the 3G version. I would do so for the only reason the article author intends to: just in case I ever needed it. This was the reason getting the 3G version in the first place and as it turned out I used it on a handful occasions, occasions that I easily could have done without. For those rare occasions using the hotspot function of a smartphone will do just as fine.
