ACCESSORY GUIDE IPAD 2 BUYERS’ GUIDE Universal Remotes Controlling your home entertainment center from your iPad recently became a lot easier, thanks to new Infrared blasters and dongles that range wildly in price and in overall quality of user experience. The three options below require you to purchase an accessory, then download a free universal app; each has an iPad-specific software interface but works almost identically on iPhones and iPod touches. Gear4 Unity Remote As the best universal remote we’ve yet tested, Unity Remote combines a sleek Bluetooth wireless Infrared transmitter with an extremely well-designed app. Because the glossy black transmitter sits in front of your entertainment center without wires, there’s no need to plug anything into your iPad, but it does use three AA batteries to power its wireless chip. The app auto-configures itself for your TV, DVR, receiver, and other devices with minimal help, providing large and intuitive on-screen buttons; Gear4 includes smart battery conservation features and a “unity” feature to create simplified master remote controls. $100 Apptwee Ri Ri is the cheapest universal remote around and drains the least battery power, attaching to your iPad’s headphone port. Half the price of most rivals, it has a simple app with less polish: it switches between multiple remotes one at a time, requires you to turn the iPad’s volume up for use, and only works from short distances away. It’s a budget solution with budget performance. $30 NewKinetix Re Universal IR Remote Re is a mid-priced Infrared blaster that connects to the iPad’s bottom, and uses the 9.7” screen to simultaneously show tons of buttons that required scrolling on the iPhone and iPod. Tinkerers will like the button customization options. 134 $70
IPAD 2 BUYERS’ GUIDE ACCESSORY GUIDE Fun iPad Accessories The first generation of iPad-controlled toys appeared in 2010, starting with the announcement of Parrot’s AR.Drone and continuing with Orbotix’s debut of Sphero at CES in early 2011. Griffin has been leading the way with accessory-dependent drawing apps, including LightBoard and ColorStudio HD. 2 3 1 4 Released last fall, Parrot’s AR.Drone ($300, 1-2) is a dual camera-equipped quadricopter controlled by your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch using Wi-Fi; it’s capable of flying and hovering for 15-minute stretches between battery recharges. Parrot and other developers have released free and paid AR.Drone apps, including Tommy Kammerer’s Drone Control ($5, 3), which can grab screenshots of your flights or let you play flying games. Orbotix’s Sphero ($100, 4) is a robotic ball that’s controlled by iOS devices, coming later this year. Griffin’s LightBoard ($40, 5-6) frames a first-gen iPad inside of a plastic case with tracing paper, letting kids draw with a black marker. ColorStudio HD ($30, 7) is a Griffin and Crayola collaboration, using a new digital, wireless iMarker for animated coloring books. 5 6 7 135
