Belkin QODE Ultimate Wireless Keyboard and Case for iPad Air-sale-02

More on the Belkin QODE Ultimate:

Turn your iPad Air into a laptop with the Belkin QODE Ultimate Keyboard Case. The well-spaced keys offer the movement and response of a laptop keyboard, making emails and word processing far easier and more comfortable than typing on a tablet’s touchscreen. Smart sensing technology automatically turns the keyboard on when you need to use it, and off when you don’t. The case supports multiple viewing angles to help you find the most comfortable position for watching videos or reading blogs. Made of aircraft grade aluminum, the lightweight keyboard acts as a cover offering exceptional protection for your iPad Air while the case prevents it from being scratched.

Type Comfortably on your iPad Air

The Belkin QODE Ultimate Keyboard Case for iPad Air lets you type easily and comfortably with your tablet. This lightweight, sturdy keyboard case has well-spaced TruType keys that offer the movement and response of a laptop keyboard. You’ll type faster and more accurately than you do on your iPad Air’s touchscreen alone.

The keyboard folds away when you don’t need it and strong neodymium magnets hold your tablet securely at a variety of comfortable angles, so you can comfortably watch videos or browse the internet.

Aluminum Alloy Keyboard Protects Your iPad Air

The keyboard’s base is made of aircraft-grade aluminum alloy. It’s exceptionally lightweight but strong enough to provide hard-shell protection for your iPad Air’s screen when the case is closed. Its base is thinner than the iPad Air, so it keeps your tablet portable and easy to slip into a bag or purse.

Additionally, the case’s high-performance material protects the back of your iPad Air and doubles as a stand, adding function without compromising the case’s ultra-thin profile.

Smart Sensing Technology Saves Battery Life

This keyboard uses smart sensing technology that automatically turns on your keyboard when you need it, and powers it down when you don’t.

The keyboard’s battery provides 264 hours of active use and 4,300 hours of standby time.

Compatibility Information

The Belkin QODE Ultimate Keyboard Case is compatible with the iPad Air.

The new Avatar: Warrior’s Journey game is coming to iOS and Android this spring

Avatar- Warrior’s Journey-01

It looks as though a brand new mobile Avatar game is coming to iOS and Android, according to a recent announcement from the official Facebook page. While director James Cameron has already publicly delayed the next Avatar films until what appears to be late 2017, gamers should be getting the new Avatar: Warrior’s Journey by spring of this year.

At this point there aren’t many details available on what to expect from the upcoming “return to Pandora,” but the brief description given sounds as though we are getting an endless runner that may have a few tricks up its sleeves. Players will be taking on the role of a young Na’vi to “run, dodge, and ride…through the stunning world of James Cameron’s AVATAR.”

We can also expect some kind of light upgrade system. “As your skill grows, you will earn abilities, outfits, and ultimately your own place amongst the clans.”

There are no pricing details just yet, but the previous Avatar game that came out alongside its record breaking Hollywood counterpart film was available for $4.99 when it released.

More from MacHeist:

When Apple created the Mac App Store, the idea was that a central repository to find and publish apps would benefit both the Mac users and developers. Several years since then, it’s become clear that it benefits neither.

Not only are demos a thing of the past for any app looking to publish on the Mac App Store, but updates that are sometimes critical are delayed by a broken and inconsistent review process. Those two issues are bad, but combined with the fact that independently developed apps have to follow a much stricter set of rules than Apple’s own apps, it’s clear that the only party benefiting from this is Apple.

In protest of this incredibly unfair arrangement, we’ve put together a bundle of 9 incredible apps that can’t be found on the Mac App Store, for just $14.99!

CES 2015 is now in full swing with a number of companies announcing new and interesting products. One of which is Roku, who has so far announced a series of new Roku TVs and deeper 4K Ultra HD content support across the board.

Not only is the company planning to support 4K for future Roku TV models, the company has also teamed up with online content powerhouse Netflix to offer 4K content on Roku’s streaming boxes/sticks in the future. As 4K TV prices plummet, both companies are looking to offer solid Ultra HD solutions for their customers, something Roku believes is instrumental in the overall adoption of higher resolution content.

Coleman Sundome 4-Person Tent-sale-03 Coleman Sundome 4-Person Tent-sale-02

More on the Coleman Sundome:

Make camping easier with the Coleman Sundome 4-Person Tent. The dome design is easy to set up. It’s also designed for incredible ventilation with large windows and a ground vent that helps moves the air up and out. If it rains, the Weathertec System’s patented welded floors and inverted protected seams help ensure you stay dry, and the Insta-Clip Pole Attachments stand up to wind. The snag-free, continuous pole sleeves mean you only have to feed the poles once—shrinking setup time to just 10 minutes. The 9 ft. x 7 ft. floor fits four people, or one queen size airbed, and comes with a durable carry bag for easy transport.

Roomy enough for a small family, the Coleman Sundome 4 tent sleeps up to four people at a time in complete comfort. The Sundome 4 is outfitted with Coleman’s exclusive WeatherTec system, a series of technical features intended to protect you from inclement weather and nasty storms.

The Sundome 4’s interior is spacious, with a base that measures 9 feet by 7 feet and a center height of 59 inches–plenty of headroom for most people. In addition, the dome-style tent is engineered to keep you cool thanks to the adjustable Variflo ventilation and vented Cool-Air port. Best of all for travel-weary campers, the Sundome 4 sets up quickly, with two shock-corded steel poles, continuous pole sleeves, a pin-and-ring design, and InstaClip attachments. Other details include a rain fly; an electrical access port; a privacy vent window; an interior gear pocket; separate bags for the tent, poles, and stakes; and easy-to-follow instructions sewn into the durable carrying bag.

WeatherTec tents are built with a coated polyester fabric combined with anti-wicking thread, webbing, and zippers, all designed to keep you dry when the rain comes down. The tent’s welded waterproof floor and inverted floor seams, meanwhile, dramatically increase the water resistance by hiding the needle holes inside the tent and away from the elements. In fact, Coleman is so confident in its WeatherTec system that it exposes its WeatherTec tents to a rain room that simulates nasty downpours, and to a wind machine capable of blowing hurricane force gusts. The results? Even after the tests, Coleman guarantees its WeatherTec tents will keep you dry.

Sony apologizes for network downtime with PS Plus extensions and 10% discount codes

Site default logo image

PSN-freebies-extension-ps-plus

As many of you already know/experienced first hand, the PlayStation Network suffered outages over the holidays due to a denial-of-service attack courtesy of a malicious hacker group. The company’s VP of Sony Entertainment Network, Eric Lempel, announced that those affected by the downtime will be receiving a free extension to their PS Plus memberships. Anyone who had an active PlayStation Plus subscription (or free trial) on December 25th, 2014, will be receiving a free 5 day extension to their accounts.

The extension will automatically be applied at a later date, according to Lempel. Those with a trial or subscription that ends before the extension goes live will receive the bonus 5 days anyway.

On top of that, Sony is also handing out 10% discount codes “as a thank you to all PSN members.” The code will come available “sometime” this month and will be good for a one-time discount off a total cart purchase on everything from games and add-ons to TV shows, movies and more.

We will keep you posted on when the extension and discount codes go live, in the mean time you can check out our daily game roundups for all the best deals across all platforms.
