Feeling nostalgic? This retro-styled keyboard will take you back.
The Lofree Keyboard is designed with the same layout as the Apple Magic Keyboard (with backlight) and is meant to connect with Mac, windows, android, and any other iOS system either wirelessly or with USB cable. This is a beautiful melding of old and new.
At the same time, it allows you to get back to the sensory experience that we get from using a typewriter. Oh that touch, pressure, and (of course) sound…
They come in a variety of colours
The keys are removable for easy cleaning
Easy to switch between USB and wireless Bluetooth

iOS 7, the new version of Apple’s mobile operating system, has arrived at last.
Designed by Apple’s industrial designer, Sir Jony Ive’s, the new “flat design” is a huge change from the look of the operating system Apple has stayed true to for the past 6 years.
So what’s changed?
- iOS 7 has a new font (the look is skinny & clean)
- Service coverage is now indicated with dots (vs. the previous bars)
- The lock screen is different (for the first time in iOS’s history)
- App icons are now flatter (but not quite flat)
- The notifications panel isn’t has a flat look to it too (surprised?)
- The keyboard is white(r) with an opacity level (lets you see what’s behind it)
As with all things apple, this will undoubtedly have a big impact of design trends in print, web and, of course, user interface design.
Blendtec has caught my attention with their clever and upsetting marketing videos. In this heart-wrenching youtube commercial they blend an iPad to show the strength of the Blendtec blenders. Watching this video makes me really upset and wonder if they want me to test drive all pre-blended products for a year or two. Hey Blendtec, what about the new Mac Pro featuring the Intel Xeon Nehalem processor. Will it blend?
With the latest apple product flying off shelves, it’s no surprise that designers and entrepreneurs are trying to get a piece of iPad action. For a few bucks add some personality to your pad with these creative designs.
Apple’s latest product, the iPad, has been revealed. The iPad is marketed primarily as a web browser and a media & ebook viewer. It looks like a giant iPhone (magazine size) and weighs roughly 1.5 pounds. Sweet!
David Coursey has a great article on PCWorld listing 6 pros and cons to the iPad. Dena Cassella has an interesting piece on Digital Trends about the new device too.
