The Apple iPad 2 was just recently released, so now there is a wave of new iPad2 accessories. One cool item is the Apple iPad 2 Case with Bluetooth Keyboard. Normally the case of an iPad, iPod, or other portable gadget is simply a way to protect the item. While this slim line leather iPad2 case is protective, it also includes a built-in Bluetooth keyboard for much more effectively data entry into an iPad2.

While the case is designed to fit an iPad 2, the Bluetooth keyboard can be used with just about any device that supports Bluetooth including iPhone, laptops, smartphones, etc. With a built-in 450mAh lithium-ion battery, the keyboard should last for about a week without needing to be recharged. To fully recharge, just plug in a mico-USB plug for 4 to 5 hours. (A micro USB charging cable is included.) The Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity gives this keyboard a wireless range of about 10 meters.

Anyone that uses an iPad or other tablet computer a lot knows how cumbersome it can be to type on the virtual keyboard. With a regular keyboard, typing is much more efficient, for more effective entry of emails, blog entries, text messages, Facebook comments, etc. Having the Bluetooth keyboard built right into this iPad 2 case just makes everything so much easier.

If you thought Jai Alai was a fictional sport invented solely for Mad Men and the opening credits of Miami Vice, you’d be wrong. It is in fact a dangerous ball game where a wad of wire and goatskin is hurled at up to 150mph with a Xistera, a shallow basket shaped like a pelican’s beak. The game is based on the Basque Pelota, and this explains its unique weirdness. Everything in the Basque Country, including the language – Euskara – seems to have evolved in isolation from the rest of the world.

Last month we learned that the eLocity A7 Android tablet would be coming to market soon. The first time we heard about the device the specs were unknown. Today the A7 has landed for pre-order at Amazon and all the specs of the device are available as well.

The eLocity A7 will run Android 2.2 for the operating system. The device has a 7-inch touchscreen that should be good for streaming video content and more. The tablet has 512MB of DDR2 RAM and runs an NVIDIA Tegra 2 T-20 processor at 1GHz.
