For when the "iPen" ?

With the new iPad, I'm dying to see a kind of "iPen" to go with it. Business people could sign contracts directly into iPad, students could take hand written notes, artists could draw directly on it, etc.

I suspect that we will see a third party developer add some form of inking. I agree, give this device ink and watch the students snap it up.
Side note, 2 of these less $ than built in dual screen DVD player system in our vehicle and the kids would not be fighting over what to watch!

Now they'll be fighting over which of them gets to use the plug in charger first. They'll never be happy unless they can fight about something.

^^ 10 hour battery life.

But true, kids always look for something to fight about. Some adults too! Just check out the gadget blogsphere lately. Amazing how much time some people expend on something they apparently hate and will never buy.

Pogo pen will do the trick, I think!

Google it... its pretty cool.

Pogo pen/sketch

Hey I didn't know that product. Yes it's very cool ! For other ignorants like me, I pasted the article

December 24, 2008 It’s not often we report about potentially disruptive technology in a US$15 package, but that’s the way we see the Pogo Sketch. Made specifically for use with the newest MacBook multi-touch trackpad, the stylus is claimed to transform the notebook into a pen tablet for premium drawing programs and artistic applications. Without trying it, we can’t be sure it’s the real deal, but we acknowledge the massive potential of adding tablet functionality to any computer for just US$14.95. We recently raved about Ten One Design’s Pogo Stylus for the iPhone and iPod touch which uses the same special conductive tip to transfer the signal from the user’s hand to the capacitive touch screen display. Indeed, the Pogo Sketch can also be used on an iPhone and iPod touch too, so it’s potentially a game changer in our humble opinion.

And what about an "iEnergize" accessory?

I'd like too a kind of solar captor pad (4" X 6") to plug into the iPad/iPhone/iTouch. It could be useful when a person is far away from electrical points or simply wants to gain an extra time to end a work or game or anything else when the device says it has less than 20% of battery life.

@CassiopeeQC- solio makes a variety of chargers- Solio Portable Solar Chargers | Universal Solar Charger

and so does brunton- Brunton SolarRolls&#153

Brunton is quite a bit more expensive, but they are waterproof, and can run laptops, too.

The development of solar equipment in the past few years has been incredible. My cell provider sells solar chargers at their retail locations!

Great !!

Great !! So it exists a kind of adapter from solar charger to "iThings" entries?
You answer all my questions! By the way, do you have winning numbers for the next lottery?

For the Solio chargers, you can get a usb port replicator- so you can plug any usb device into it... obviously this includes i-whatnots.
