iPad 2 Launch Week: Mobile Cloth Giveaway!

Ex — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 08:30:25 +0000

Update: Contest is over folks! Here are the winners, you will be contacted shortly:

El Aurens, Mlena095, ShahabMTL, Mr. Charley, Peter Nguyen, Tim Stringer, Neuphoto, Andrew, Jskydart, Rafarosen, Thedude, Jpacitto, Kenny, Tony B., Hyrules, Fastrace24, Alex, Graeme, Harry, Pierre, Devon, smodi, Vazandrew, Droptopv8, Zman

To celebrate the launch of the iPad 2 this week, and to ensure that you are ready to protect your new iPad 2 when purchased this Friday, we are kicking off the week with a 3-day long contest! But what are we giving away?

Starting today, and ending on Wednesday evening, we are giving away 25, yes TWENTY-FIVE, Mobile Cloths from our friends over at Hartigan Industries (www.mobilecloth.com).

Mobile Cloth

As some of you may know, I swear by the Mobile Cloth. The first thing that amazed me with the Mobile Cloth is that not only is there no spray included, but that you actually don’t need spray at all! The Mobile Cloth just cleans everything and yet it stays so soft (think cashmere soft).

In my uses, the Mobile Cloth seems to easily take care of smudges, finger prints, dirt, and whatever else I seem to throw at it, without any streaks! While my spray/cloth combo works, the Mobile Cloth works better, faster, and requires less re-cleaning!

With most of us being iPad owners, the Mobile Cloth is the perfect accessory after a day of iPad use. Whether it’s my Original iPad or my new iPad 2, the display is just full of finger prints and dirt after a full day of use. So, a few wipes of the Mobile Cloth and my iPad is clean and ready for tomorrow.

This is not to say that other microfiber cloths don’t do the job, it’s just the Mobile Cloth does it more efficiently.

So let’s get to the giveaway!

The Giveaway!

As detailed earlier, starting today, and ending on Wednesday evening, we are giving away 25, yes TWENTY-FIVE, Mobile Cloths from our friends over at Hartigan Industries. That means, 25 winners!

Winners will be announced on iPad 2 eve (Thursday).

How to Win

To win, simply comment on the following:

1.) Tell me your Friday iPad 2 plans and how you will use the Mobile Cloth?

Winners chosen at random; Contest ends March 23, 2011 at 11:59PM PST.

Contest Rules:

1.) Make sure to include your email in the email entry field when posting a comment or I cannot contact you!

iPad – Print Files From Anywhere Using Your Dropbox

Darlene — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 22:20:01 +0000

Hello everyone! Have you ever wanted or needed to print something from your iPad? If you’re like me, every so often you may have a need to print from your iPad. I currently don’t have a printer that’s capable of printing documents to my iPad so I was really happy to find this neat utility.

I have discovered a small program (it’s a simple “.vbs” utility for you geeks) that after you run it, allows you to print files from your iPad using Dropbox. Although the author of the utility only mentions mobile devices on the web site, and not the iPad, I still decided to give it a try. I have been successful so far and have been able to print using GoodReader and Office HD.

Here is a quick overview to get you printing:

Make sure that you have Dropbox on the computer that is connected to the printer.
To send print jobs from the iPad make sure you have an app that is capable of connecting to Dropbox.
Download the zip file printing utility, unzip and double-click the eprint.vbs file (see the source code). The script will create a sub-folder inside your main Dropbox folder called “PrintQueue”. This is where your print jobs will queue up and another sub-folder called “logs” will be created where all the completed jobs will be archived.

You can now print files from your iPad. Just send a file from your iPad to the Dropbox ready app or Dropbox mobile app and place it in the “PrintQueue” folder. If you are sitting at your computer doing a test run, you will see a message on your desktop indicating that the file has been added to your Dropbox. Your printer will begin printing the file shortly thereafter.

For more details you can link here. More information and a workaround for Mac and Linux can be found here (about halfway down the page). Let us know what you think about this utility!

Geek Tips: The PrintQueue folder will show up on any computer or mobile device you sync with Dropbox, but will only print from the computer running the vbs script. So, you’ll want this script to always run on your primary computer. Simply drag the eprint.vbs file to your Startup folder, and then it’ll always be ready to print your files whenever your computer is running.
