InfiniteLoop Tablet & Smartphone Stand Offers Infinite Flexibility

What looks to be the world's most intriguing tablet stand is the InfiniteLoop. The InfiniteLoop is the creation of Tim Gushue, who designed the InfiniteLoop to be the most simplest and versatile tablet stand ever. The patented co-molded metal and plastic form can be easily manipulated to any shape your imagination comes up with while maintaining the strength and rigidity to hold up all sort of heavy tablets like the iPad. 

What's more, is that there is also the shorter MiniLoop stand made out of the same materials as its older brother, and it too can be manipulated in infinite angles and is compatible with almost any smartphone. The MiniLoop can attach to almost any surface by wrapping it around it, kind of like the flexible Gorillapod tripod. The possibilities and uses of these flexible stands is pretty much endless. The InfiniteLoop is currently a Kickstarter project and you can pre-order the MiniLoop for $19 (will retail for $29.95) while the InfiniteLoop's pre-order price is $35 (will retail for $44.95), plus you'll also get the MiniLoop as a bonus. If you're interested, head over to the InfiniteLoop Kickstarter page for more info. The guys at Infinite Loop hope to start shipping these out by August. 

Thanks for the tip, Chris!

Guess How Many Apps Are Available For The Motorola Xoom

A mere 50 native apps built to run on Google's Android 3.0 for tablets. The Motorola Xoom was thought to be the iPad killer before it was released into the market of Android tablets. The iPad launched with more than 1,000 native apps on day one while the Motorola Xoom only had 15 Honeycomb-native apps available for download when it first launched. Interest in the Xoom has not grown much since it was released and that shows in the amount of native apps built for its Android 3.0 operating system. The iPad has of more than 65,000 native apps behind its back compared to the 50 native apps currently available for the Motorola Xoom. So, did you make the right choice?

The Cosmonaut Stylus Feels Like A Dry Erase Marker

Meet the Cosmonaut, a wide-grip stylus for capacitive touch screen devices like the iPad. Looks familiar? Maybe you've seen the AluPen before. Both look to have the same thickness and idea for a better stylus. The Cosmonaut on the other hand is designed more like a dry erase marker that is used on dry erase white boards. Its rounded shape and a similar tip as of a dry erase marker which makes for a smooth and effortless screen gliding, supposedly of course. Shipping begins in June and you can pre-order the Cosmonaut stylus right now for $25. Oh did I mention that the these are the same dudes who successfully brought the Glif into life? It's safe to say they've also succeeded with the Cosmonaut stylus.
