If you enjoy drawing, doodling or note taking with a stylus on your tablet, you’ve probably run into the issue of not being able to rest your entire hand on the display while drawing. Although some note taking and drawing apps have a palm rejection feature, most do not. For those that don’t, I have a solution for you. It’s the Stylus Handpad fromĀ ANicelyDone. Let me show you what it is and how it works.
Note: Images can be clicked to view a larger size.
First of all, what is it? It’s basically a small suede leather pad with a loop for your pinky finger. It also comes with a stylus that looks and feels exactly like a Targus stylus which usually costs $14 by itself. The Handpad features an elastic band that you can use to hold the stylus when it’s not being used. This is a weird feature and if it were up to me, I’d just remove it because I’d never use it.
The pad is available in what they call Orange, it’s more of a rust in my opinion, and Navy. The bottom of the Handpad is Grey. The pad itself is soft and slightly cushioned.
You can tell from the shape, that the Handpad has been designed for Right handed people. Your pinky is placed through the suede loop and according to the pictures on the ANicelyDone website, you’re supposed to cinch down the loop by pulling the strap on the bottom side. The strap on my sample is glued to the bottom of the Handpad though. Regardless, I don’t think it’s necessary to tighten it…
The idea is that your entire palm will rest on the Handpad and the Handpad will rest on the tablet’s display. Suede doesn’t conduct electricity, so your tablet won’t “know” that it’s being multi-touched with the stylus and your palm. Clever!
I mentioned that the Handpad has been designed for Right handed people, of which I am not. I’m a Lefty. No problem though, the Handpad can still be used by us too.
ANicelyDone should just make a rectangular or triangle shaped Handpad that looks more ambidextrous.
I tested the Handpad with my GoSmart Stylus and several of the drawing apps I have on my iPad: Sketchbook Pro, Layers, ArtRage, Paper and procreate. All I can say is that I really like this simple accessory. It allows me to draw in a more natural way than before, which feels more like drawing on paper than a touch screen. The Handpad feels comfortable to use, doesn’t get in the way of the stylus and is definitely going on my Julie’s Favorite Gear List. I love it when a problem gets solved in such a simple way. You can’t really beat the price of the Handpad either. For $12 +$2.29 postage (US), you even get a stylus with it. Granted, the stylus is not that great, but it makes an ok back up.
If you like to draw or write on your tablet, you will love the Stylus Handpad.

At the release of the iPad 2, Apple also brought out its Smart Cover product, which quickly became a favorite. Although the new iPad 3 is a little thicker through the middle than the iPad 2 (due to a bigger battery), it is still compatible with the previous Smart Covers that are currently for sale. This is excellent news as the Smart Cover not only protects the iPad screen from scratches and scrapes but is also functional and practical, and a stylish choice.
The Smart Cover uses magnets within the iPad to align it perfectly to the iPad. Third party cases can sometimes be a bit of a struggle to line up on the iPad – sometimes the case slips and the home button is not easily accessible, or it can be a struggle to fit the charger lead into the socket. So the magnetized Smart Cover is a welcome change.
The Smart Cover can automatically wake the device when the cover is opened, meaning users no longer need to hit the home button or power button to access the iPad. This is just a small and simple feature but incredibly useful.
The Smart Cover is also capable of supporting the iPad in a standing position so that you can easily view movies and videos. The cover simply folds behind the iPad to prop it up. This is also very useful for FaceTime and Skype sessions. The cover can also be folded at a different angle to prop up the unit to make typing easier. This can be especially helpful if you are composing a long email or document.
There are two material choices with the Smart Cover, and a whole range of colors to choose from. For bright vibrant colors, the obvious choice is the polyurethane cover, available in black, gray, pink, green and blue. There is also a traditional leather cover which comes in brown, black, gray, white and red. Both of the materials are lined with microfiber which works to remove smudges and fingermarks from the screen when the cover is closed, as well of course as keeping it safe from scratches.
No matter your personal preference in terms of color and material, the Smart Cover cannot be beaten on functionality and usefulness. Many cases for the iPad can be quite bulky and add a significant amount of weight and bulk to the device. However the Smart Cover is slim and sleek while still giving protection. In addition, the extra features make it a great and stylish choice for any new iPad owner, or a great gift choice for the iPad owner in your family!

Bots -- like the kind which automate IRC rooms and Google Wave -- are a good thing to know about. There are plenty of useful bots worth knowing about, too, including the Google Talk Guru. Just add guru@googlelabs.com to your GTalk buddies, and you can start firing off questions. Lifehacker suggests that the same types of queries supported by Google SMS will work, though we didn't have any luck getting a response out of the Guru with phrases like "score detroit red wings" or "sushi R3N 1Y1." Still, Guru does answer a good variety of questions and it works right within your favorite IM app. It's well worth adding to your friend list, especially for getting answers on the go on your mobile device of choice.Google Talk Guru answers questions via your IM app originally appeared on Download Squad on Wed, 30 Mar 2011 09:30:00 EST.
