Weekly News Digest: Thanksgiving Travel Edition
Digest updates
Happy Thanksgiving week, or as the tech industry calls it, “Black Friday Warm-Up.” This week’s single piece of news is about iPad cases, because nothing says holiday spirit like accessory shopping.
Logitech Wants You to Pack an iPad
Logitech published a “Best iPad Case for Holiday Travel” guide, which is definitely helpful content and not at all a thinly disguised product catalog. They recommend three of their own products for your journey home.
The Flip Folio ($160-$180) features a magnetic detachable keyboard and adjustable kickstand—good for typing emails at the airport. The Combo Touch ($160-$260) adds a trackpad for “laptop-like” functionality, which Apple claims iPad already has anyway. And the Keys-To-Go 2 ($80) is just a portable Bluetooth keyboard if you don’t want the case commitment.
Honestly? These are all decent products if you actually use your iPad for productivity while traveling. But if you’re like most people, you’re just going to hold it in your lap and watch Netflix, no keyboard required.
That’s literally it. The industry went quiet for Thanksgiving. Expect an onslaught of Cyber Monday coverage next week.
