Sometimes in reviewing an app, I get frustrated because there is an iPhone version but no iPad version. You can run it on iPad, but really hope they make an HD version.

Autograph it is one of those apps. It’s a cool way to make an autographed headshot. Simply call up the app, take a picture of yourself, then sign it. Send it to friends, family and other fans.

Autograph is $1.99 in the app store (it was free when I downloaded it). Let’s hope this call for the upgrade will be heard and an HD version of this app be made.

apen – which was being displayed by eFun - comes in many styles and colors. Most important, it’s shaped like a pen, so you can use it to write like you would in a notebook.

It’s stylus like these that could help people start to use tablets more frequently, simply because they don’t feel like they are using a tablet.

A friend of mine was asking about this cool new plug he saw. He heard of ZAGG and wanted to know more about their products.

Today, I’ll talk about the ZAGG sparq and how it can keep your iPad charged in a day. We just talked about it for the CES action, at ZAGG: Sparq 2.0 Portable – CES 2012 . 

The Sparq can charge a smartphone up to 4 times. It can charge an iPad at the same charging speed as if plugged into the wall.

This is a great item to have if you are on the go. Recharge your device on the plane , car or wherever.

Swingline

Swingline

Shredders at CES are always pretty geeky. Being able to shred above and beyond is what we like to see. So when Swingline showed us their new Stack-and-Shred shredder, we were very interested.

Swingline has been creating office products for over 80 years – shredders included. The Stack-and-Shred is one of many different types of shredding devices. But the best part about these is you can take a stack of papers and run them through the shredder without paper getting stuck or the shredder blowing a motor.

Get Stack-and-shred on Amazon

The Stack-and-Shred costs $150.00 to $250 and is available now in your favorite office store.

My Ditto

If you have a USB drive, you might also have data on the drive. However, just like hard drives, USB Thumb drives also can stop working. You could lose all your data in an instant.

But what if you could save your flash drive to the cloud?

That is the idea behind my-Ditto Key. You register your drive, and then all the information on the key is sent to the cloud. Not only is your drive data secure from data loss, it also is safe if your drive is lost or stolen. Just head up to my-Ditto and download to a new key.

my-Ditto Key is expected in early 2012.
