Logitech Set To Launch Two New Accessories For iPad Next Month
August 24, 2011
Two Logitech accessories for the iPad were recently highlighted by our friends at TechCrunch. Both look like terrific products, so we thought we’d give our readers a look at them as well.
The first is the Logitech Fold-Up Keyboard for iPad 2. Available soon in the U.S. and Europe, this is really a two-in-one iPad stand and Bluetooth keyboard dock. It also is said to work just fine with Apple’s Smart Cover, which could be important for many iPad 2 owners.
While TechCrunch seems to like this accessory, it isn’t in love with its price of $129.99. On this, we tend to agree.
The next item is the Logitech Joystick for iPad, which is perfect for when you are playing an iPad game that requires a joystick or D-pad. These items are essentially see-through suction cups that work as promised without taking up value screen real estate.
Still, these joysticks look almost exactly like the well-respected Fling Game Controllers for iPad which debuted at this year’s E3 conference. That isn't a bad thing; rather it's a point worth mentioning.
These are priced at $19.99. Again, they’ll be available next month. We'll keep you updated to the growing list of accessories coming out this fall for the iPhone/iPod touch and iPad. Most likely, you'll see quite a few debuting ahead of the important gift-buying season.
