Logitech has announced the $99 Logi BASE Charging Stand with Smart Connector (http://tinyurl.com/zagkqcn) for the iPad Pro. You can type on the screen or access Siri while simultaneously charging your 12.9-inch or 9.7-inch Apple tablet via the Smart Connector.

“Last fall we introduced Logi CREATE – the first third-party keyboard compatible with Apple’s Smart Connector,” says Michele Hermann, vice president of mobility at Logitech. “With the introduction of the new 9.7-inch iPad Pro, we’re excited to continue to deliver innovation – beyond the keyboard – that leverages the Smart Connector and helps you make the most of your iPad Pro, in any room at home or the office.”

Logi BASE is the first device to charge your iPad Pro through the Smart Connector. Magnets in the charging cradle guide your iPad Pro into place to align with the Smart Connector, with no need to search for a charging port; just drop your Apple tablet in, and you’re good to go.
