New features for future Apple Smart Cover? (Patent)


smartcover.jpg
The Smart Cover for Apple iPad 2 appeared with the subject to further developments if we are to believe certain patents.
If we had already seen the first patent that Apple was interested in the iPad induction charging ... via the smart cover the Cupertino company also imagine a Smart Cover with programmable buttons or small windows that can display information:
If one believes a patent filed by Apple, the next Smart Cover could incorporate programmable buttons allowing, for example, to control their music .
But Apple also imagine a smart cover with the display of a clock , the battery level or as text notifications.

dockr.jpg
This is a new project Kickstarter not lack of ideas.
Indeed, DOCKr is hard to offer 6 accessories in a dock with abattery , a keyboard , the speakers , or a display in portrait as landscape .
Discovery in images and video:
The DOCKr is a dock appearing almost like a small suitcase to do because it incorporates many features.
Indeed, the dock provides a display in portrait and landscape mode , a built-in battery , the Bluetooth speakers , a keyboard all in different adjustable angles.
If the built-in battery is announced able to add between 6 and 8 hours of autonomy to the iPad, it's like the iPad can be recharged via USB and micro USB ports included.
In addition, the designer has planned for its many colors DOCKr is advertised compatible with all generations of iPad.
The numerous integrated functions compensate aesthetics dock that is highly questionable.
