The Professional Case from iLuv Makes Creating Content on the iPad 2 a Breeze

Port Washington, NY (PRWEB) May 31, 2011

iLuv Creative Technology, the premier provider of the most comprehensive line of accessories for the mobile lifestyle, introduces the iCK826 Professional Case for iPad 2 with removable Bluetooth keyboard. This high quality leatherette case combines a number of innovative features designed specifically for professional users or anyone who prefers the tactile response offered by a traditional keyboard to a touchscreen keyboard interface. Like all iLuv products, the iCK826 Professional Case delivers a unique blend of style, functionality and value to the consumers for which it was designed.

The iCK826s most notable feature is the removable Bluetooth keyboard that adds a traditional keyboard experience to the power and portability of the iPad 2. iLuv designed the keyboard so that the keys react and respond to the users touch in the same tactile manner as a traditional computer keyboard, providing a typing experience that is familiar to the user and completely different than that of typing on the devices touchscreen display.

There is no doubt that the iPad products have changed the game in mobile computing, said Pia Chon, marketing director at iLuv. The iCK826 adds tremendous value to an already amazing device by making it just as easy to create documents and media as it is to consume them on an iPad. This will make the iPad a much more powerful and versatile device for many consumers, particularly those who prefer to type on a traditional physical keyboard.

The iCK826s keyboard includes a micro USB port for fast charging of the internal battery that will last up to 30 days on a single charge. Secured with four Velcro strips attractively and elegantly sewn into the leatherette case, the Bluetooth keyboard can be easily removed and will easily operate from across a table or at the foot of a bed in a hotel room.

While the keyboard is certainly the headline act, the iCK826 also offers some simple, yet thoughtful design elements that truly enhances the user experience and have become a hallmark of the iLuv brand. An excellent example is the retractable kick-stand, which ensures the most comfortable viewing angle when typing or consuming any kind of content on the iPad screen. It also includes a stylish leatherette closure with chrome accents that, when set in the open position, rotates out of the way of the screen. The inside of the case is lined with a micro suede inner lining to protect the back of the iPad 2 from scratches.

Designed specifically for the iPad 2, The Professional case features openings for the front and back cameras as well as a cutout for the iPad 2s speaker so not to inhibit sound while watching movies, listening to favorite song while working or playing a favorite game.

Pricing and Availability

The iCK826 is currently available at select iLuv retailers for $ 129.99.

Pearson's Vocabulary Central App for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch Offers Grammar on the Go for Today's Texting Generation

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 9, 2010

R U able 2 rd ths? If so, you get an A+ in SMS (Short Message Service), today's communication method of choice for our texting and twittering tweens and teens. As this rapid fire messaging language has gained in popularity, however, many educators are questioning whether basic grammar and writing skills are being left behind. Pearson's Vocabulary Central app is designed to help reinforce these skills in entertaining ways, through interactive songs, trivia games, and flashcards, anytime, anywhere.

Vocabulary Central is available for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch through iTunes for $ 2.99 in individualized editions for grades 6-12.

Students work with flashcards to build their understanding of specific vocabulary words. Each flashcard provides an explanation of the word, a model sentence, synonyms and antonyms, word families, and background information, all with accompanying audio. After practicing, students are able to earn points through the Quiz mode.

Once all flashcards have been reviewed within a series of lessons, access is available - for grades 6-10 - to videos featuring scrolling lyrics that provide musical and contextual clues to help students discover the meaning of the vocabulary words highlighted in blue.

Through the Vocab Trivia activity, students read word-related questions and choose the best answer. The faster the questions are answered, the higher the scores. If students wait too long, incorrect answers start to vanish, along with the chance to score more points.

"Vocabulary Central is designed so that students can work at their own pace to build their vocabulary skills, and have fun along the way," said Doug McCollum, Pearson's General Manager for Literacy. "It's the latest in Pearson's series of innovative apps for meeting today's on-the-go tweens and teens in their digital world."

Other Pearson Apps available for the K-12 age range include Grammar Jammers, which offers interactive animated videos to help make mastering the rules of grammar a fun, melodic, and memorable experience for learners anywhere, anytime.

A new study by mobile advertising network Greystripe, a division of ValueClick (Nasdaq: VCLK), on the use of touch smartphones and iPads in travel, found while nearly all touch smartphone and tablet users use their device while traveling, iPad users are more likely (60 percent) than iPhone and Android users (49 percent) to use their device to make a travel booking.

These results correspond to the boom in travel-related mobile ad campaigns in the Greystripe network, which has grown 49.2 percent in the past 12 months.

Greystripe collected the data from 971 users on its expansive network of iPhone (including iTouch), Android and iPad devices during a month-long period from June to July 2011.

The study took an in-depth look at how iPads, iPhones (including iPod Touches) and Androids are used by frequent travelers throughout the travel process for everything from planning a vacation to how they use their devices while traveling. The study found iPads are especially vacation and business travel-friendly: 91 percent of iPad users have used their device for a travel related activity of some kind.
