Smart Cover

Apple's Smart Cover for iPad 2 ($39 for Polyurethane, $69 for leather)

The Smart Cover and iPad 2 were made for each other. Literally. Built-in magnets draw the Smart Cover to iPad for a perfect fit that not only protects, but also wakes up, stands up, and brightens up your iPad. That’s not just smart. It’s genius.

Magic Trackpad

Apple's Magic Trackpad ($59)

Desktop users, your time has come. The new Magic Trackpad is the first Multi-Touch trackpad designed to work with your Mac desktop computer. It uses the same Multi-Touch technology you love on the MacBook Pro. And it supports a full set of gestures, giving you a whole new way to control and interact with what’s on your screen. Swiping through pages online feels just like flipping through pages in a book or magazine. And inertial scrolling makes moving up and down a page more natural than ever. Magic Trackpad connects to your Mac via Bluetooth wireless technology. Use it in place of a mouse or in conjunction with one on any Mac computer — even a notebook.

ScanSnap S1300

Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300 ($254 on Amazon)

The Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300 is a document scanner capable of scanning both sides of a page in color or black & white. The scanner software is usually able to correct documents that did not feed perfectly straight to produce straight output. The software then produces a searchable PDF file that can be indexed by Spotlight on Mac OS X.
