It’s been years since I’ve used a typewriter. But with the USB Typewriter, your iPad (and also PC or Mac) is able to experience a step back in time. Reclaimed typewriters give you the look and feel of old but are outfitted with modern-day keyboard features such as ctrl, alt, esc and arrow keys. Simply plug your device or computer in with a usb cable. This one is sure to turn heads.

Only four days in to using it and my new 13 inch MacBook Air is definitely one of the few things I like! After using my last MacBook Pro for six years (yes, six years) and not being able to update it any further, I am loving the Lion OS. And the shiny screen. And the speed at which it processes. And how light it is!
Of course, I would expect that I would love this purchase. I’ve been a Mac fan since back in the early 90′s when in college I had a Mac Classic.
You can get your MacBook Air at Apple.com.
What do you do with an old suitcase? Turn it into a portable stereo, of course!
The BoomCase by Mr Simo does exactly that. All you do is connect your iPod, iPhone or other portable device with a headphone plug and you’ve got great sounding music. Each one is unique and vintage and looks amazing.
From their website:
I am an audio-nut. So you can be assured I make each case produce the best sound possible. I shy away from plastic or thin suitcases because of their not so great acoustic qualities. Mainly I use cases that are built with wood and leather because of the superior sound they produce.
This thing is beautiful. The Magnus iPad Stand is sleek and looks amazing as it holds your iPad at just the right viewing angle. Incredibly strong magnets hold the iPad in place showing almost no visible support. A great compliment to the Apple product line.
