DODOcase for iPadAfter seeing one of these iPad cases today, it was clear that we missed something in our coverage of the iPad 2. The DODOcase from iPad 2 is hand made using traditional book binding techniques. While it feels like a quality book while carrying, the case is molded perfectly for the device and even props your iPad in two positions. Both stylish and functional, it is designed with angles appropriate for both typing and video functionality, as well as for easy in and easy out for the use of the new rear facing camera feature.

Featuring a full color 7″ touch screen display and attractive $199 price point, the Kindle Fire may be the first device to put a dent in the iPad’s dominant tablet market share. Compatible with popular apps, the Fire will also allow you to surf the web, watch movies, read books, listen to music and more. Best of all, you can forget about storing all your media – it links up to Amazon Cloud storage at no extra charge. Releasing November 15th it is now available for pre-order and we suspect it to fly off the shelves, so order yours now if you’re interested.

Despite cynicism from many folks before it’s launch, the Apple iPad has been a home run. Naturally, other electronics and computer manufactures are following suit with their own brands of tablets. The Motorola XOOM, which is slated for a launch sometime in Q1 of 2011 looks to be a worthy contender. Running off the new Android 3.0 (a.k.a. Honeycomb) the 10.1″ HD widescreen XOOM features a 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor, 1 GB of DDR2 RAM, 32 GB of storage, front and rear cameras, HD video recording and more. The exact date and price of the XOOM is highly anticipated, as are the specs of the second generation iPad. It’s going to be an interesting year for the tablet.
