At first glance the Adesso CyberPad looks much like an iPad, but it is far from it. The device looks like a small notebook for taking notes on and at first glance that might be all you see. This device is probably geared toward students as it is a pen that records all the notes you take on it. The notes get saved to a 32mb internal memory in the pen. It makes taking notes easier when having to take notes in a class that requires lots of writing and drawing of charts or graphs. If you feel like the 32mb memory is to small then you can always upgrade it by using the integrated SD slot on the device. When you want to get all the notes you took during class on to your computer you just hook up the included USB cable to you computer and download the notes. It requires Adobe Photoshop Elements to get the notes but the install disc comes in the box. The Adesso CyberPad A4 may not be as good as taking notes on good old paper but it is a neat device and might encourage a person to take more notes.
One of the newest gadgets getting ready to hit the shelves is Apple’s iPad. The iPad is an electronic tablet computer that allows the user the ease of performing similar operations to the iTouch, but on a clipboard sized personal computer.
The iPad provides the uniqueness of being able to be held and utilized as a clipboard, or a magazine, allowing for easy reading of e-books. While there are other products out on the market which possess a similar ability, the iPad carries with it the Apple name and reputation, as well as the ability to perform a wide variety of tasks, similar to other Apple products.
The reviews of this product have been mixed. On the one hand it is seen as the next generation of innovative Apple projects, while some view this product as just an over sized iTouch. The iPad arrives in April and the sales should allow for better judgment of the interest and the popularity of this new gadget.
Encryption and data protection is very important for a lot of people. The Corsair Flash Padlock 2 Flash Drive offers another layer of security. The drive holds 8 gigs worth of information and is unique in design as it has a pin pad right on the device. This allows the drive to be used easily with no software to install. It works with Windows, Mac, and Linux systems.

If you lose your pin you’re able to restore the drive to its factory default which will securely erase all the files on the drive. The Consair Flash Padlock also comes with hacking protection. If the wrong pin number is put in multiple times the device will lock itself for two minutes, not allowing anymore tries until that time is up.
