class="alignright" alt="" src="http://www.gadgetsandtechnologynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/181-963-large.jpg" />Esorun.com is releasing a multi-function battery case made to fit the iPhone 5 that will make watching videos much easier. This FA70 is the first battery stand of its kind. It is available in multiple colors and the battery case is already patent approved. Use the smooth side slip action to then move the phone into landscape mode and angle it for optimal viewing performance.</p><p>This case is thin so users don’t have to worry about adding extra bulk. The patented case is uniquely designed so that even in normal, everyday use the regular phone actions aren’t hindered. Answering calls is still very easy and the case has been designed for ideal camera and video capture. The case has a special angle around the camera eye which inhibits any blockage and also provides great light filter.</p><p>This FA70 iPhone 5 battery case also comes with a unique charging cord station that allows the user to charge the phone while the case is closed or open and angled. Forget about a dangling cord. The notch on the case guides the cord out of the charging socket and then out of the case so users can continue to operate the phone without tangles or accidentally pulling out the charging cord.</p><p>Protection is always important with an <a
title="iPhone 5 battery case" href="http://www.esorun.com/30-battery-case-iphone">iPhone 5 battery case</a> and this particular one is no different. Due to its unique design, it’s extremely durable and the four corners of the case wrap around the front of the iPhone. When a user places the phone, screen down, on any surface, it never actually makes contact with the table. This prevents a scratched screen.</p><p>This new iPhone 5 battery case is MFi authorized and has obtained an Apple product plan id number. With its <a
title="power bank" href="http://www.esorun.com/13-power-bank">power bank</a> of 2150 mAh, the user will not worry about the battery life. Enjoy videos hands-free and charge the phone at the same time. This angled battery case is an original.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.gadgetsandtechnologynews.com/the-best-creative-iphone-5-battery-case-with-perfect-landscape-mode-stand-is-launched-by-esorun/2821191/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Tenba Introduces New Roadie Executive Backpack</title><link>http://www.gadgetsandtechnologynews.com/tenba-introduces-new-roadie-executive-backpack/2821189/</link> <comments>http://www.gadgetsandtechnologynews.com/tenba-introduces-new-roadie-executive-backpack/2821189/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 07 May 2013 06:05:02 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Chris Towland</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Latest Gadget News]]></category> <guid

The Roadie Executive Backpack was designed to be the ultimate briefcase backpack for the traveling professional. It features a handsome and distinctive exterior design that matches the rest of the Roadie collection. It is built with three cascading storage sections: first for laptop, iPad and documents; second for tech accessories; and third for core business tools like pens and business cards. The cascading sections nest together when zipped shut, so the bag always maintains a slim profile.</p><p><img
class="aligncenter" alt="" src="http://www.gadgetsandtechnologynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Tenba.jpg" /></p><p>Unique to the Roadie Executive is a dual-pocket computer compartment that will hold both an iPad and a laptop up to 15 inches. The left side of the bag has a stretchy mesh pocket for a beverage or other items for quick access. On the right side there is one of Tenba&#8217;s signature zippered side pockets that can be accessed even while wearing both sides of the harness; it fits a wallet and passport for easy retrieval.</p><p>“From photographers and filmmakers to our own marketing and sales representatives, we work with many people who spend a large amount of their life traveling,” said Jan Lederman, President of MAC Group. “The new Roadie Executive Backpack was built for the person who occasionally spends days on the road, and the only bag they will have with them most days is their briefcase backpack. You need space for everything, pockets to be organized, and it all needs to fit under the seat of an airplane.”</p><p>The exterior of the new Roadie Executive Backpack is made from water-repellant 1680 denier black ballistic nylon, and includes matte black YKK zippers with molded zipper pulls. There is a padded and ventilated shoulder harness at the rear, along with a built-in trolley strap to slide over the extending handle of rolling luggage, and a padded, reinforced handle at the top that is comfortable to carry even when the bag is fully loaded. The interior is made with ripstop nylon, with zippered window mesh pockets to carry loose items, and neoprene pockets for gadgets and larger accessories. Finally, the bag includes the same abrasion and water-resistant tarpaulin bottom panel that is used on other Tenba Roadie, Messenger and Discovery bags.</p><p>The slim design of this bag allows it to slide effortlessly beneath the seat on any airplane, and its quick access side pockets put a beverage (on the left) and your passport (in the right pocket) within easy reach.</p><p>The Roadie Executive Backpack is available immediately at a suggested retail price of $169.95.

The world’s leading compression software has incorporated a number of innovations for the RAR-format. The new RAR5 format provides many improvements of existing features of WinRAR and creates RAR5 files with higher compression ratio and speed gain on multi-core systems for decompression.</p><p><img
class="alignright" alt="" src="http://www.gadgetsandtechnologynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Winrar.jpg" />Better compression and increase of speed<br
/> Due to changes in the RAR format, WinRAR 5.0 Beta 1 can create larger dictionaries up to 1 GB in 64 bit version of WinRAR which leads to higher compression in solid archive mode on large similar files.<br
/> The increased of speed derives from the use of multithreaded decompression on multi-core systems for lower redundancy data.</p><p>More secure<br
/> So far, users of the RAR format have benefited from the integration of 128-bit AES encryption. Based upon popular demand we have upgraded the RAR algorithm to include 256-bit AES encryption to ensure sensitive data is safe from undesired access.</p><p>Further innovations of the Beta version of WinRAR 5.0<br
/> Based on the demand of many users, the limitation of maximum archived file path length in RAR archive is changed from 260 to 2048.</p><p>Another major improvement is the new recovery record function which is based upon the Reed-Solomon error correction codes making archive recovery stronger. In test scenarios with a 1 GB archive, 10% recovery record and average damage size of 32 KB, WinRAR was able to fix 9x more damages relative to the previous version. Also, the new recovery record is much more efficient than the old to fix insertions, deletions, not only when data has been modified but when data positions are shifted.</p><p>The file identification within RAR archive has been enhanced by using BLAKE2sp hash as a file checksum. With BLAKE2 inclusion, one can definitively detect whether files are different or the same while using CRC32, two different files may share the same value. Furthermore, CRC32 is shorter and therefore there is a small chance it will not detect a corrupt file and some classes of errors unlike BLAKE2.</p><p>More information on the improved items and fixed bugs can be found here: <a
href="http://www.win-rar.com/whatsnew.html">http://www.win-rar.com/whatsnew.html</a>.</p><p>Another tip: for all Windows-64-bit users, it is highly recommended to install the WinRAR 64-bit version. It is faster and offers best available integration. WinRAR’s compression speed in Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 or any other multi-core-system has been increased considerably.</p><p>The new Beta 1 version of WinRAR 5.0 can be downloaded for the 32-bit-version from <a
href="http://www.win-rar.com/fileadmin/winrar-versions/wrar50b1.exe">http://www.win-rar.com/fileadmin/winrar-versions/wrar50b1.exe </a><br
/> The 64-bit-version is available under the following downloadlink: <a

The command line version of WinRAR is also available for Linux, FreeBSD and MAC OS X.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.gadgetsandtechnologynews.com/winrar-5-0-beta-1-released/2821187/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>iPad Mini Leather Keyboard Portfolio Combines Protection with Easy Typing</title><link>http://www.gadgetsandtechnologynews.com/ipad-mini-leather-keyboard-portfolio-combines-protection-with-easy-typing/2821185/</link> <comments>http://www.gadgetsandtechnologynews.com/ipad-mini-leather-keyboard-portfolio-combines-protection-with-easy-typing/2821185/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 07 May 2013 05:59:29 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Aiza Mabayag</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[iPad]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Latest Gadget News]]></category> <guid

class="alignright" alt="" src="http://www.gadgetsandtechnologynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/iPadMiniCustomPrinted.jpg" />Most iPad Mini users buy at least one case to protect their shiny new tablet, and every user should ask the question – why buy a case? Here are the top reasons:</p><p>1. Protection. Not just the front screen like Apple’s smart cover, and not just the back like many cheap clip-on cases on the market, but full body protection. The case should protect the iPad Mini all around – front, back, sides, and corners.</p><p>2. Function. Does the case offer smart cover design to automatically set the iPad Mini to sleep when not in use? Are all the ports easily accessible without having to remove the iPad Mini from the case?</p><p>3. Keyboard. The virtual keyboard on the iPad Mini is fine for entering an URL or typing a small amount of text. But users overwhelmingly prefer a physical keyboard with the conventional tactile feel of pressing each key. It makes typing so much faster and more accurate.</p><p>4. Keyboard should be rechargeable and detachable. A Bluetooth keyboard with high quality lithium-ion rechargeable battery saves money for its owner and is usually lighter weight. While some keyboards are fixed in the case, the best designs feature a detachable keyboard, using magnets, to offer the ultimate in convenience and flexibility.</p><p>5. Affordable. Yes, nice things cost money, but an accessory for the iPad Mini shouldn’t break the bank. It should be competitively priced in the marketplace.</p><p>One company is determined to offer a “perfect” iPad Mini case – iGear’s iPad Mini Bluetooth Keyboard Portoflio combines the protection offered by a well padded leatherette case with a built-in, magnetically removable Bluetooth keyboard. The built-in Lithium-Ion battery lasts up to 55 hours with each charge. iGear is offering it for 20% less than the market price of $100 for similar products.</p><p>The case itself is made of high-grade textured leatherette, offering tough protection for day to day use. The case is padded all around, protecting the iPad Mini from front, back, sides, and corners. The built-in Bluetooth keyboard features a full-size QWERTY layout with hard keys (unlike soft rubbery keys found on less expensive keyboards), rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and attaches magnetically to the Portfolio case.</p><p>“iGear’s Bluetooth Keyboard Portfolio combines the best of all worlds&#8230;” says Jimmy Sun, president of iGearUnlimited.com. “Well-padded protection for the iPad Mini, and the typing speed and accuracy only available with a physical keyboard.”</p><p>The Bluetooth Keyboard Portfolio is available from <a

Schools that purchased rugged iPad cases face another problem — the cases are so thick that they don’t fit in charging carts, such as the Bretford PowerSync line. iGearUnlimited designed a new product to address both problems – <a
title="rugged ipad Mini case for schools" href="https://www.igearunlimited.com/product/ipad-mini-slim-tough-case">iGear’s Slim Tough Case</a> features a multi-layer construction that’s supremely shock absorbent, a polycarbonate hard shell inner jacket that offers impact protection, and a slim profile to fit in the most popular charging carts.</p><p>According to an article published on <a
title="damaged iPads in schools" href="http://billingsgazette.com/news/state-and-regional/wyoming/percent-of-powell-school-ipads-damaged/article_9469bf4d-8c07-5e2e-bc59-51548aa25831.html#ixzz2JlMi6Ce2">Billings Gazette</a> – &#8220;About 5 percent of the iPads purchased for school students and staffers in Powell Wyoming have had to be repaired or replaced since they were introduced last year. Eighty-one iPads worth $40,192 were damaged. Of those, seven belonged to teachers and administrators and 74 were assigned to students. The most common problem was broken screens.”</p><p>Some schools are dealing with the problems by purchasing a protection plan from Apple, or purchasing cases for their iPads, or both. To ensure the deployment goes smoothly and minimize delays and administrative burdens, the best practice proved to be using a rugged case that protects the iPad no matter what happens.</p><p>But rugged cases may be too bulky for large scale deployments – schools often use charging carts to manage all the iPads, and the case must fit in the slots of the charging cart. For many months, schools had to choose between good protection and easy management.</p><p>The <a
title="Rugged iPad Case for Bretford" href="https://www.igearunlimited.com/product/ipad-mini-slim-tough-case">Slim Tough Case</a> offers multi-layer protection using a combination of (1) an outer soft rubber shell, (2) an inner polycarbonate hard case, and (3) a slim profile that’s designed to fit the Bretford charging carts. This case is supremely shock absorbent and since all buttons and ports are tightly sealed, the Slim Tough Case provides rain and splash protection, while giving the user full access at the same time. A built-in stand offers a convenient way to stand the iPad in both orientations, for screen sharing or moving watching.</p><p>“iGear’s Slim Tough Case is perhaps the perfect case for schools.” says Jimmy Sun, president of iGearUnlimited.com. “It offers excellent protection for the iPad while works with the most popular charging carts.”</p><p>The Slim Tough Case is available from <a
