MagicMount Pro Charge5 is my new favorite iPhone car mount

Scosche’s MagicMount Pro2 Cup was my previous favorite car phone mount. But the company’s new MagicMount Pro Charge5 Window/Dash Mount (US$59.99) has replaced it on my “best of” list. It’s designed for Apple’s iPhone 12 and 13 models that sport a built-in circle of...

PowerLift — it’s a battery, it’s a dock

The US$49.95 Kensington PowerLift Back-Up Battery and Dock (http://us.kensington.com/html/17866.html) is a relatively compact (2.5 x 2.3 x 0.6 inch and about 1.8 ounces) combo that adds about 20 hours of music, five hours of video, 3.5 hours of talk, and 1.5 hours of FaceTime to your iPhone (based on a Verizon iPhone 4 that I used).

Package Central speeds up packaging files for InDesign

By David Creamer

Packaging InDesign files takes up valuable time and computer resources — simply put, Package Central (US$499.95) from Zevrix (http://www.zevrix.com) offloads the actual collection of the graphic files to another system.

The software is easy to set up and use: install the Package Central server and then install the User Components on the designers’ systems. The server software requires some minor set up for designating hot folders and the workflow options, but that only takes minutes.

Slip your iPad or iPad into the Summit from iSkin (http://www.iskin.com) and it looks as if it’s ready to go mountain climbing — or perhaps double as an extra in “Cliffhanger 2.” That, I guess, is the inspiration of the name.

I love the Smart Case that Apple released along with the iPad 2. However, it only protects the screen of the tablet. The Summit is designed to hold an iPad with a Smart Cover attached and protect ALL of the device. Or you can use it with similar-sized notebooks and tablets (the Summit measures 8.24 x 11 x 3 inches).
