Touchfire is an interesting, and already funded, Kickstarter project I have one on order, so we will see how good it is – I see it being useful for significant typing, where right now I get out the Apple bluetooth keyboard. Visit Kickstarter to order yours …
I just bought the Apple Digital AV Adapter and was able to test it out today connected to an HD TV … even with a lowly 768KB internet feed, we were successfully able to watch Formula One streamed from our DISH Network receiver back home, and Red Dwarf on Netflix! It seems that the DVI [...]
