 NewerTech NuTouch Gloves

By now you've (hopefully) taken care of the big-ticket items on your holiday shopping list. But don't forget the stocking stuffers! We've put together a list of some great, yet inexpensive stocking stuffers, along with a few $5 toys you can sneak into your kids stockings - or even under the tree!

NewerTech NuTouch Gloves
NewerTech's NuTouch Gloves are the stylish and functional solution to keeping hands warm while using an iPhone, iPad, or other touch screen device in cold weather. Unlike other brands of gloves that limit finger use and touch capability, NuTouch Gloves have a special conductive fiber woven into all 10 fingertips so users can enjoy the fastest typing input on full-sized touch keyboards.

Made from a soft cotton mix and available in four hand sizes - S/M/L/XL, they come in a classic charcoal color and can be worn by themselves, or as liners with heavier cold weather gloves.Read more

Here to give you some peace of mind are two new (affordable!) iPad accessories from NewerTech that do much more than just protect the device – the NuGuard GripStand 2/GripBase Bundle for iPad 2 and the NuGuard GripStand Protective Case and Desktop Stand for the first generation iPad.

Priced at just $39.99, the NuGuard GripStand 2/GripBase Bundle gives iPad 2 owners one of the most flexible and low-cost combinations of iPad 2 protection, portability and viewing available today. You can use your iPad 2 while standing, walking, commuting, in school, at work, during lectures, at your desk, or in the car as an entertainment center. Read more

NewerTech's NuStand 360 Desk Stand for iPad Swivels/Pivots a Full 360 Degrees


 NewerTech NuStand 360

Another day, another boring iPad accessory, right? Wrong. NewerTech just announced a new iPad stand different than the rest. Its NuStand 360 Aluminum Desk Stand features a weighted base with an anti-skid rubber foot which actually keeps your iPad or iPad 2 stable. But that's not all. It has a friction damping, swivel-pivot design offering a full 360° range of motion. Use it in portrait mode for business presentations, landscape mode for movie viewing, or anywhere in-between for game playing or whatever else you may be doing.

You can feel confident that it will stay in place thanks to NuStand 360's removable silicone "blocks" that securely hold either the iPad or iPad 2. A rear cutout on the body also enables clean, nearly hidden routing of a dock connector cable. NuStand 360 is coated with a rubberized black finish as well, making it soft to the touch, yet highly scratch resistant.

NewerTech's NuStand 360 has an MSRP of $59.95 but you can pick it up now from the company's exclusive distributor, Other World Computing (OWC) for $47.99 – that's nearly 20% off! For more details, visit www.newertech.com.

"The NuStand 360 is the high quality, sturdy, and flexible display solution for iPad and iPad 2," said Grant Dahlke, Brand Manager, Newer Technology Inc. "With a thicker design and heavier weighted base than typical desk stands, the NuStand 360 keeps an iPad/iPad 2 safely displayed in any viewing angle."

Media & Storage: On-The-Go Beyond the Home Office

By Jeff Zbar

 Mercury On-The-Go I recall the old Apple IIC computer I used in my home office. Small as today’s notebook PCs, it had a monitor with a 8-inch screen, and a disk drive that took 5.25-inch floppies.

And that was it for memory. It had to boot up with the operating system in the drive. Once loaded, I’d have to load AppleWriter in order to process words. Want to save a doc? Slip in a floppy. Want to open a second doc? Close the first.

Today, PCs routinely have hundreds of gigabytes of storage — and even a gig or more of RAM.

But sometimes, that’s still not enough. The home officer, teleworker, telecommuter and road warrior thrives on portable storage — the ability to take stuff with you. Other World Computing’s Mercury On-The-Go high speed portable storage drive is just such a solution. Read more
