Generally, I
roll my eyes when the first thing people do after purchasing a new technology
is accessorize it. My friends and family
browse Amazon for cases, car cords, keypad covers, decals, and the like
whenever they grab a new gadget. That
being said, I cannot help but covet the following iPad accoutrement:
Called the
Brydge, this thing is simply…cool.
As their
website notes, “Brydge is an elegant solution to the lack of quality iPad
keyboards and accessories currently on the market. Brydge connects to your iPad using a
patent-pending hinge which allows for close to 180 degrees of iPad positioning
and holds your iPad secure.
“Brydge’s hinge
combines the forces of friction and magnetism to hold strongly onto the iPad. There is no need to enclose your iPad in any
sort of case, instead, your iPad snaps in and is ready to go. If you need your iPad free from Brydge, simple
hold down on the Brydge and pull your iPad free.”
In addition to
boasting the Apple aesthetics, this device, which features speakers, offers
impressive functionality. Indeed, if you
own an iPad and one of these nifty keyboards, do you really need a laptop?
As a
minimalist, I maintain the conviction that, if ever my iPad (which was a gift)
breaks, I will not replace it and will simply continue with my
good-for-all-purposes laptop. Now, I
wonder if I should amend that strategy.
Perhaps, if my Asus breaks, I’ll instead equip my iPad with the
accessories that transform it into a laptop?
