Review: ImTOO is a good Mate for your iPad

I find the iPad a good, complementary “mate” to my Mac. And ImTOO has introduced the US$59.95 iPad Mate (http://www.ImTOO.com/ipad-mate.html), which is a good, complementary mate to the iPad.

It can convert any video or DVD to play on the iPad. That’s a nice feature, though if that’s all you need it for, check into the RipIt/Handbrake combo instead. However, if you need to transfer iPad contents to and from your computer and iTunes, iPad Mate is definitely worth a look. It works similar to iTunes and also supports the iPod, iPhone, and iPod touch.
