Apple iPad Projector
A lot of iPad users are unaware of ultra portable and iPad-compatible projectors that make watching your 7″ content a much more emmersive experience. Whether you are looking to play games on a bigger screen, watch movies with friends or present to a large audience – an iPad projector will allow you to do all of that almost 200″ from just a tiny iPad or iPad 2 screen.
iPad Projectors for iPad 2
The initial iPad model was not particularly compatible with any projectors. Microvision launched a projector called the SHOWWX that allowed connectivity to the iPad as well as all VGA devices. It was the first of its kind to really be a success in the industry and since then many pocket projectors have followed. Just over a year on from the initial SHOWWX release, the SHOWWX+ HDMI has come to market that allows connectivity to any device with a HDMI socket. And yes, that includes the iPad 2. This iPad projector still has the same ultra small (iPhone sized) shell and was designed largely to work as an iPad 2 projector. With a higher contrast and brighter display than much of its competitors, the SHOWWX+ HDMI is certainly one of the best ‘pico’ projectors around for iPad and iPad 2.
iPad 3 Projector?
If the rumours are true then we may expect to see built in projectors for the iPad 3 and iPhone 5 in 2012. This would dramatically increase the usability of the iPad but it may also wipe out the market for iPad specific projectors.
But forget the rumours. If you are the owner of an iPad or iPad 2 then you should really take a closer look at these iPad projectors – arguably one of the best mobile devices of 2011.

Cheap ways of buying Currency
Holiday coming up? Getting ready to travel? Buying currency can always be a tricky business and all too often we leave it until the airport to buy our foreign currency. The problem with this that the airport will charge huge commissions on top of the actual exchange rate. Why? Because you’re stuffed if you don’t pay it! So what can we do to lower our personal costs when it comes to buying currency?
- Buy Currency Online
- Comparing Currency Exchanges
I followed the advice of BuyCurrency.org.uk and went with buying currency online. First of all there’s no commission. Second of all there’s no admin fees. Third of all you can get your cash delivered straight to your house and fourth of all you can exchange your currency back at the same rate! Woah that’s a lot of reasons.
Again this is easier done online. Comparing shops in the offline (also known as ‘real’) world is pretty much impossible and by the time you have all the rates would have changed again. Well there are plenty of sites out there that let you compare the current rates of each exchange making it more transparent, more competitive and less expensive to buy currency.
That’s it! Some really cheap ways to buy currency but it all revolves around buying online. Don’t worry if you’d rather not get your cash delivered to your house, there are ‘pick up at the office’ for those of you that would prefer. You can also set the date and time that you would like to pick up to make sure you avoid any unwanted cancellations. Good luck and good lucky buying cheap currency!
Hooked on the Yellow Stuff (Gold that is)
Gold is still in the news. After months of speculation the price is still rising. Don’t you wish you had invested in gold back in 2008? 1 ounce of gold would’ve cost you about £500-£600, today it’s £1150. So is this price expected to rise? Well speculators are beginning to say ‘no’. The gold rush of 2011 appears to be slowing but it certainly hasn’t stopped. Check the current gold spot price in the UK to see how much your £££ will get you.
Keeping on the Gold/Investment topic…
So I’ve taken up a real interest in the stock markets and gold prices recently. This is partly because I’ve been fortunate enough to meet a professional trader that is incredibly generous with giving advice! Already I’ve started to see a return on some great gold investments that he suggested to me. So anyway, I was browsing around, checking out how much ‘cash my gold’ dealers were paying for scrap gold jewellery and found this great little gold calculator embed code courtesy of Cash for Gold Calculator – feel free to use it below:
But more importantly I’m facing some pretty interesting investment opportunities now. Off the back of talking to my friend about the stock markets and in particular gold prices, he suggest some decent information for Selling Shares that I’ve decided to use for my next investment.
Gold, Beautiful Gold
To many people, gold is the most beautiful metal in existence. But its beauty is not the reason for its high price. Gold has been used in trade for many millennia but its value comes with its rarity. The amount of pure gold that has been mined and is in existence today would barely fill 2 Olympic sized swimming pools. Its rarity is what makes this precious metal so beautiful.

Protect with Mobile Phone Insurance
If you’ve heard the staggering statistics of how many mobile phones were lost or damaged last year in the UK, you’d be more than surprised. Well, the figure is something like over 3 million lost or stolen, and out of that about one-third of those were water damaged. Wow! It won’t surprise you then to figure out that getting a mobile phone insurance policy might save you a lot of hard earned pounds down the line. If your mobile device gets damaged, it might cost you another £600 just to replace it and that could be on top of paying off what you already owe on the one that was damaged.
Is it any wonder that insurance companies are now offering insurance protection for your valuable assets through mobile phone insurance? And most insurance carriers have a minimum of three standard policies to choose from giving various degrees of protection, such as for damages only, a combination of damage and theft, or a heightened degree covering more at only pounds more. Rates are extremely reasonable and with a variety of coverage to choose from, it makes it all the smarter to get a mobile phone insurance policy for your new handset in the unlikely event of damage. If you’ve been thinking that you could just save up funds to buy a new phone should yours get stolen, you might find that gets pretty tough in the long run, especially if yours ends out getting damaged before you’ve saved up all the necessary money. It makes better sense to spend a small amount each month on insurance that will cover the cost of a new mobile device down the line.
Doing a simple engine search on your web browser to check for mobile phone insurance carriers in the UK, you’ll most likely end out finding one that you’re quite happy with and who gives you what you need.

Cotton Bags: A Bag for All Seasons
Cotton bags are an awesome option for shoppers, fund raisers and just plain every day use. As more and more people and organizations become concerned about our carbon foot prints, the need to find reusable products is of greater importance. This type of bags is a great part of the solution. Made from all natural materials, these bags are safe, non toxic, one hundred percent biodegradable, and of course, reusable and recyclable.
Many organizations are taking advantage of cotton bags as a medium for promoting and advertising. Having their logos and slogans printed on the bags, makes their bags a constant advertisement. Companies and shops are using them as gifts to their clients and customers, and some organisations and charities are using the bags for fund raisers as well.
The customising options for cotton bags are many. They come in a wide range of colours, and can be printed or embroidered. Art work can be transferred to the cotton bags, and photographs can even be transferred onto them. They also come in a variety of sizes, and with various lengths of straps. They can be with or without gussets and even have pockets.
Cotton bags are so versatile that they really are a “bag for all seasons” and suitable for so many purposes. They can be rolled up and put in a purse to accompany you to the store, to a great car boot, or wherever you might find the need to pack something up and bring it home.
For a business or organisation that wants to advertise, your message, logo or motto on cotton shopping bags is a fantastic way to go “green” with your advertising. For schools and charities that are putting effort into fund raisers, cotton bags are an easy sell and a great way to fund raise.
