Announcing a new range of iPad accessories for mobile professionals
SYDNEY – 19 July, 2012 – As more Australian organisations advance beyond the traditional office model, Kensington Computer Products Group has announced a new range of tablet accessories to enable greater flexibility in mobile work environments. Recognising the growing role of the tablet in the modern workplace, Kensington’s new range of productivity tools is designed to keep workers organised and efficient, whether they are working from a desk, café table or anywhere in between.
The new Kensington Folio Trio Mobile Workstation for New iPad and iPad 2 offers professionals a mini office for the road. Featuring a protective, zippered case, the folio has been designed to include a place for everything you need for working on the go – a two-position iPad stand, pen and stylus holders, pockets for business or credit cards, and a removable two-ring binder.
To cater for the growing range of tablets on the market, Kensington has also released the KeyFolio™ Expert range, available for iPad and Android® tablets. Featuring a durable and lightweight design, the folio features concealed magnets, can stand open at multiple angles, and snaps-closed with microfiber interior to protect your tablet from wear and scratches. A new range of colours for the KeyFolio Pro 2 Removable Keyboard Case also joins the existing range of Kensington accessories designed to improve user experience and productivity with the iPad 2 and new iPad.
Expanding its offering for iPad navigation and annotation, Kensington’s new Virtuoso™ Pro family of styluses offer pen, touch tip and laser options with sophisticated designs.
“The Australian workplace is in a state of evolution – the traditional, desk-per-employee office model is increasingly becoming a thing of the past,” said Sam Goldstein, manager – marketing and business development, Kensington. “This latest range of tablet accessories is designed to complement the shift towards activity based workstations and maximise mobility and productivity – be it in the office, the local café or on the road.”
New Kensington accessories for tablets
The new range of Kensington tablet accessories is designed to maximise productivity and the user experience of iPad and Android tablets. Tailored for individuals’ requirements, the Folio Trio Mobile Workstation, KeyFolio Pro 2 removable keyboard, KeyStand™ for iPad and Keylite™ Ultra Slim Touch Keyboard Folio turn your tablet into a productivity powerhouse.
The flagship model in the new range is the Kensington KeyFolio Expert for iPad and Android tablets. This accessory is the perfect on-the-go companion for iPad and Android tablets, allowing you to create content anywhere.
The multi angle folio adjusts from a low-angle right through to the perfect tilt for working on your lap. A unique multi-suction grip pad offers forwards and backwards compatibility and supports landscape or portrait viewing.
With a durable and light design, the folio snaps closed magnetically, while the microfiber interior protects your tablet from wear and scratches. A simple, one-touch pairing Bluetooth keyboard delivers seamless operation.
The Virtuoso range of styluses from Kensington now includes a variety of new additions to make creating art, annotating files or capturing content on the go easier than ever. The Virtuoso Mini Collapsible Stylus is designed to be easily stored and transported with your iPad, snapping into the 30-pin connector on the tablet’s base.
The Kensington Virtuoso Pro range offers more responsive, finer stylus tips, making writing on your tablet an easy experience. Some of the range includes new dual-purpose styluses that incorporate pens or a presentation pointer into the barrel of the stylus. The combination of a Rollerball Pen and responsive touch stylus makes note-taking easy on your tablet or notepad. The replaceable rollerball cartridge system ensures a long lifespan for these styluses. Also new to the Virtuoso range, the Virtuoso Pro Pointer gives you a professional edge in meetings or presentations.
