Remember the first Apple Mac? I do, still got it, it was hilarious, big old mouse with one big button, nothing like the PC's of that era. And it didn't work, the models didn’t sell and people all but wrote Apple off, I did. More fool me. Now look at Apple, did they get a new board of directors or something!? Certainly looks like it, as since they reinvented themselves after that first attempt at Computers they have done nothing but soar in credibility and innovation. I mean wow, who would have thought you could get a handheld computer that does practically anything that any piece of technology has ever been created has ever done.

Apple are at the forefront of this revolution. They consistently wow us with their designs and inventions. I bought an iPhone not long ago and can’t even comprehend life without it now. Sad huh. Never felt that way about my blackberry. How the hell did they make us 'feel' for a gadget?! Christ I bet people give their iPhones and iPads names, its mad. The iPad 2 is the latest in an illustrious line of new updates and upgrades. Its 33% thinner, and the screen is bigger, feels more like a kindle than a tablet, and has longer lasting battery power and faster processor. It's a marvel of innovation, but this is nothing new, we have known about these for ages. However, its new accessory the Apple Smart Cover is. This is the latest in innovation from those geniuses at Apple. Fundamentally it is a cover for your screen, not the whole iPad, which might deter some people, but its functionality is second to none. if you use your iPad around the house like I do you don’t really need a heavy-duty cover with aluminium plates, it just sits on the coffee table and looks pretty. Queue the iPad 2 Smart Cover.

It clips on magnetically when you hold it close to the tablet, and just snaps into place effortlessly. Now, as it sits there, the magnetic strips in the cover are talking to the iPad, and power it down to preserve battery. Very clever. Peel it back and you will see the iPad awaken, keep peeling and you will see it fold neatly in and behind the iPad 2 to stand when watching or raised when typing.

To conclude Apple has gone and done it again, this cover is effortlessly sleek and smooth, aesthetically pleasing and very cool, all whilst keeping your iPad 2 screen safe. It comes in a range of polyurethane or leather colours and is available now at the iPad 2 cases and covers store. Enjoy.
