The iPad 2′s Air-Print Functionality, A Technological Marvel
Meekah Gregorio asked:
Since the invention of the first mechanical printing press machine in the 15th century by Johannes Gutenberg, the way how information is shared and disseminated to a wider audience of readers had been revolutionized. In fact, its invention, which was based from a winepress machine, is hailed by many scholars as one of the greatest inventions of the modern era. Since then, new and improved designs and innovations had been incorporated in order to make the printing press machine produce more output or pages at a faster rate and with better quality.
However, despite of these notable improvements, the printing press machine lacks one important attribute, mobility. These are so big and bulky, that the only people having the privilege to print pages are the printer press owners and operators. But in 1714, a British inventor obtained a patent that lay the foundations of the typewriter. Many inventors all across Europe and the United States have come with various designs and prototypes. It is only in 1910 that the modern typewriter design that we are most familiar with, became “standardized.” The typewriter became the commoner’s handy printing machine. It proved to be valuable for everybody. It provides the portability and the ease of using that bigger printing press machines don’t have.
Mechanical and electronic typewriters became the mainstays for portable printing until the arrival of computer word processors and the cable-attached portable electronic printers in the 1980′s. This gave users a wide variety of fonts and designs that they can incorporate into their work. Making corrections is easy, a difficulty often experienced with typewriters.
The great stuff is, the iPad 2 with its Air Print capability, printing your documents, articles, emails, web pages, and your favorite photos had gone wireless, literally. You can now get rid of those time-consuming set up installation drivers and safety hazard wiring and cables. It only takes a WIFI connection to print things up quickly and conveniently.
The iPad 2 is not only a wonder tablet computer; it even makes printing handier for its users as well. Such a marvelous investment needs the best protection that it deserves from life’s unfortunate events. Reward your iPad 2 the best insurance coverage against accidental and liquid damages, as well as from theft and loss. The iPad is an amazing gadget and using it without the right insurance is a big mistake. With its air print functionality, there is no doubt that you will make use of it in a great number of ways.

Kindle Alternative – the Ectaco Jetbook
Lucy Thatcher asked:
The Ectaco Jetbook is the smallest among the among the leading e-book readers. The screen size is at a mere 5 inches, which can be a great advantage or disadvantage depending on your personal preference. The small size compromises on its readability on one hand, but greatly enhances its portability on the other.
To make up for its size, this e-book reader has a great feature that enables you to rotate the text on the screen. You could either read your e-book straight up, or read it at landscape by rotating the device. The contrast and readability of the Ectaco Jetbook may not be as good as other models such as the Amazon Kindle or the Sony Prs 505, but it is good enough to provide a comfortable read in most lighting conditions.
Because of its small size, the Ectaco Jetbook seems to have a longer battery life compared to many other e-book readers. A single charge can last up to a week of constant use. This little device also boots up faster than many e-book models. There are three conveniently located page-turn buttons that allows for easy page flipping. The page turns on the Ectaco Jetbook are also smoother than many leading e-book models.
A feature that makes the Ectaco Jetbook stand out among the rest is its great built in file manager. Compared to the Amazon Kindle and the Sony e-book reader, the Jetbook has a great file manager that allows you to manage, delete and organize your e-book files. Browsing though thousands of files on this little device is also a breeze. Like many e-book readers, the Ectaco Jetbook has a built in MP3 player.
