In love with your iPad? Say hello to The Wallee…

The Wallee is a shiny, seamless and very simple wall mounting with a hard protective case system made specifically for your iPad. It was developed by a small group of iPad fanatics who had uncontrollable urges to hang their iPad’s eveywhere - yup they’re that kind of crazy.

It is basically comprised of two main parts; the hard protective shell, which also acts as a case when not docked and the wall plate. A simple turn and click and your iPad is locked into position with the X shaped locking mechanism, another turn and click and it is released together with its hard protective shell.

So we are talking hanging it on your kitchen back-splash to follow recipes, at the foot of the bath for movie watching, on the wall to display pictures of family and friends, the list goes on and on and on. It’s all very easy to do, comes in a variety of colours and is available around $50 AU.

The Europ Assistance Group has launched TripOrganizer, a simple and practical iPhone application enabling users to prepare for their travels in the knowledge that are receiving expert advice and invaluable information on their destination and the necessary preparations to ensure their trip is a success.

The traveller, after entering their nationality, country of residence and destination, is given a personalised checklist including details of all of the compulsory and recommended vaccinations, essential official documents needed for travel (such as visas and an up-to-date passport), details of the ideal medical supplies to take along in order to deal with any incidents during the journey, and insurance to be taken out before setting off.

The app also makes it possible to locate the nearest vaccination centre on a map thanks to the application’s geolocation features, and to store travel information (such as passport numbers and hotel contact details, etc).

The TripOrganizer features a progress bar at the bottom of the screen which continuously displays the state of progress with preparations for the trip and the formalities to be completed before the departure date.

 In the event that a NetGlobers member needs to take out an insurance policy (covering emergency assistance, loss of luggage or trip cancellations for example), they can sign up for the insurance they need right away using their iPhone and credit card (In-App purchase) or via an operator using the “click-to-call” button.

It enables anyone travelling abroad to have a range of useful resources right there in their pocket including emergency telephone numbers for the destination country, a currency converter and a conversation guide. These can be accessed without a network connection to avoid roaming charges.  It also supplies all the useful information travellers need about local events during their stay, in addition to updates on weather conditions and local time in their destination country. 

Designed for the iPhone and iPod Touch it can be downloaded from the Apple Store or directly from http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/trip-organizer-lite/id367809498.
