ClamCase has been making keyboard cases for iPad since the original one.  They just announced the ClamCase for the new iPad.  The matte black polycarbonate case turns your new iPad into a “laptop” for those times when you need to use a keyboard.  The Bluetooth keyboard has scissor keys in a QWERTY arrangement, plus there are 14 function keys to control the iPad.  The case has a 360 degree hinge so you can flip the iPad around into a (thick) tablet shape.  It’s available in matte black for $149.00.  According to the website, the iPad 2 ClamCase (in matte black, matte white, and the Trooper style) will also fit the iPad 3.

We already knew about most of the latest Apple TV’s technical upgrades, but a few key specs have eluded us since its announcement. That’s now changed, however, thanks to user aicjofs over at XBMC’s forum, who ripped a fresh unit apart to find out exactly what’s inside of its shell. Apart from its documented single-core A5 SoC, it’s now confirmed that the 1080p-capable streamer features 512MB of Hynix-branded RAM (up from 256) along with an unchanged 8GB of storage, courtesy of Toshiba. Interestingly, there’s no word on whether it’s still packing Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR like the 2010 variant (Apple’s website only lists 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi), but MacRumors notes that aicjofshas discovered what’s possibly an additional WiFi antenna. A few parts are still under investigation, but you can check out the links below for more info.
