Padcaster productshot1

The Padcaster is a unique product that allows you to mount your iPad to a tripod (and many other places) and attach external devices, such as microphones, while still allowing you to remove the device quickly without unhooking everything.

The Padcaster is a strong, lightweight aluminum frame that has a 1/4 and 3/3 threaded holes on each side, with an internal molded urethane insert to safely secure your iPad and allow a speedy removal. The threaded holes allow you to attach the framed iPad into any tripod or similar device.

Why would I want to put my iPad in a Padcaster? 

The reason is simple. Your iPad is an all-in-one solution to shoot, edit, and publish video without having to upload, render, and other time consuming misadventures when using digital cameras. People want to be able to do it all, well, from one device. Well, the Padcaster enhances that experience on the iPad by stabilizing the iPad, removing arm fatigue, and offering the opportunity to add and upgrade higher quality mice, lighting and more.  All with ought losing the ability to easily pop the iPad in and out of the Padcaster.  You can even attach amazing high-quality lenses.  (Check out the photos below.)

I love reading on the iPad, and iBooks is by far my favorite reading app. In my opinion iBooks has the smoothest user interface and offers the best reading experience. I love that it syncs with my iPhone and I love the ability to search, leave notes, define words, and highlight text. I really get a lot of reading accomplished between my iPad and my iPhone during the day as I wait in lines and other places. (The other reading apps I have downloaded and have used include: Kindle, Nook, and Google Play Books. iBooks trumps them all.) There are some features I like on the other apps and some new ones I’ve dreamed-up I’d like to see added in a future upgrade of iBooks.

Here are my 8 suggestions to improve iBooks:

1) Moveable Bookmark: The red bookmark in the top right corner is great as it always remembers where I am in a book, even when syncing with my iPhone. Sometimes, however, when I open my book I have to hunt around where I am on the page.  I wish the red bookmark was moveable. I would simply drag it down to the paragraph I was reading on the righthand side.

Yes, you can print from your iPad!

I know, I know… Why?!? When I first started researching this article and posed the question of printing from an iPad, I was reminded by many, many friends and colleagues that one of the many benefits of using the iPad is that it eliminates the need for paper. It’s a huge step forward in going paperless.  You can carry around enormous quantities of emails, books, PDFs, and so much more in one sleek, speedy, super-organized, marvel of a device. Why would you want to print from it? Well, the first two questions I’m always asked from iPad newbies and critics are: “How can you view Flash on an iPad?” which I have already covered, and, “How can you print from an iPad?” So, I have decided to tackle the latter in this post. I will attempt to cover it from several ability levels.

The iPad is great for going paperless, but from time to time you will have a need to print a paper to sign or a form to fill out, or something, and when that time arrives you will know what to do.

Here’s a few methods I’ve used to print from an iPad:
