Have you seen then great little accessories, that you can attach to your keys or bag (or anything else), and then help you locate these items (using your iPad or iPhone) when you can't find them? It's called a Tile and you can purchase one or several to attach to all sorts of things - even the TV remote that you keep losing. Or, in our house, the Apple TV remote which disappears on a regular basis. I definitely need several! Click on the below link for further information about this great accessory and how it works.

18/6/2015 0 Comments A great accessory for travelling with your iPhone and iPad - battery charging, backup and extra storage for your i-DeviceIf you are looking for a device that allows you to back up photos while travelling, store addtional data (such as movies) and even charge your iPhone and iPad, this device might be worth checking out. It is called the Imation Link Power Drive. Here is an article about it, published in The Age on June 15 2015. Our 'Travel with your iPad & iPhone' class has even more great travel tips This is one of the great tips we cover in the Travel with your iPad and iPhone class. The class will next be held on July 25th 2015 - click here for more details or to book. For details of other great iTandCoffee classes, check out the class schedule here. If you are travelling before the date of the next class, so are keen to attend this class on an earlier date, email iTandCoffee on enquiry@itandcoffee.com.au or call 1300 885 420. If you use your iPad or iPhone to type lengthy pieces of text, you may find yourself wishing you had a 'proper' keyboard - instead of the on-screen keyboard. There are some great Bluetooth keyboards out there - even relatively cheap keyboards like that shown in the images, that can roll up and fit in a small purse! Great for travelling or carrying around in a briefcase. Check out this recent article for details of how to connect a Bluetooth keyboard to your iPad or iPhone. I just saw this recharging station in an email from the online technology store, eStore.
The price they are selling it for right now really is very low - so click on the the image to see further details and, if you are interested, to purchase. Assuming they have not run out of stock, iTandCoffee will be grabbing one today! If any local clients/subscribers would like me to order one for you as well, let me know.

I had a bit of a look at some review of printers on Choice and other sites, and found one in particular that seemed a very good deal. So I figure I may as well share this 'find' with everyone else! It is the HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-one printer, and it is currently available from Officeworks for only $159 (which was a lot cheaper than elsewhere). Here is a link the the Officeworks page that has the details. (Note. It is only available for online purchase, not from the stores.) How often have you found yourself in the situation where your iPhone or iPad is nearly out of battery, at a time when you desperately need it to be charged?! When you are on the go, or on a trip, this can happen to you at the most inopportune times. The solution to this problem is simple - just carry a portable battery charger with you! I have one in my handbag all the time. Not only is it useful for when I am on the go - it is also great for when I want to sit on the couch and use my low-on-battery device, without having to sit right next to a powerpoint to charge the device! It is also great to have in the car - there is often someone in our family who needs charging on long car trip! Of course, there are iPhone cases that you can buy that have a built in additional battery (like that shown below). But these make your device a lot more bulky to carry around. And, they don't give you the flexibility to charge your iPad as well as your iPhone. I prefer to use a separate charger that I just carry in a little purse in my handbag (along with a USB power cable), and that I can recharge overnight whenever I have used it during the day. Some portable charges have two USB ports, so that you can charge BOTH your iPad and iPhone at the same time. Mine is a red morphie powerstation like that shown above right - I have had it for 2 years now and have been really happy with it. It can charge my iPad completely, or a couple of iPhones. Just be aware that different charges can hold differing amounts of charge, and some will only partly charge an iPad. As a rule, the more you pay for the charger, the more it can charge. With Fathers day coming up, this might an accessory that Dad could find really useful! Are you finding that your iPad takes FOREVER to charge and wondering if there is something wrong with the iPad or the charger? Well, it might be time to check what charger you are using. If you have an iPhone or iPod touch, the charger for these devices has a much lower Wattage than the iPad's.
