The new iPad HD

Today Apple announced the new iPad  and it is not the iPad 3, it is the iPad HD. It comes with a beautiful 2048 x 1536 pixel Retina display, an A5X processor, which includes a quad-core graphics module, is 4G LTE ready and also includes a new 5 megapixel camera that is also capable of capturing 1080p video.

The new iPad HD launches on March 16th. The price is $499, $599 and $699 for 16, 32, and 64GB. If you want 4G LTE, you will have to spend $629, $729, and $829.

 

APPTAG LASER BLASTER

The AppTag Laser Blaster ($35) promises to turn your phone (or iPod touch, we suppose) into a laser tag gun/shooter that works via IR and high frequency sound to let app developers create nearly any kind of multiplayer shooting game you can imagine, all without needing to block the headphone port or eat away battery via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Six buttons — including a pressure sensitive trigger and a oversized reload switch — enable plenty of real-world interaction, and compatibility with most Nerf and Buzzbee toy guns serves as icing on the geek-flavored cake.

 

Samsung Galaxy Beam – Projector Phone

At high resolutions — up to a 38 megapixel maximum — you can crop, reframe, and resize to your heart’s content. 

 

LIQUIPEL

We'll go ahead and let you try it first, but the folks behind Liquipel ($59) claim their clear coating "protects every feature of your device with a revolutionary waterproof shield." The Liquipel permanently bonds on the molecular level to your device, both inside and out, and is said to keep your phone working even if you drop it in water (creek, bath tub, Kool-Aid, etc.). Certain iPhone, HTC, Samsung, and Motorola devices can take the Liquipel treatment and their subsequent plunges now.

Plan on being away from power for more than just the afternoon? The Mophie Juice Pack Powerstation Pro ($100) packs enough USB-ready juice — 6,000mAh — to keep your gadgets running for days without needing a "real" recharge, and thanks to its rugged aluminum and steel construction, you won't need to baby it when you're out on the trail. Just remember: just because you can keep your phone running for days doesn't
