We started in Actualidad iPad a series of post dedicated to giving you gift ideas for all Apple fans for next Christmas. Some articles where we will talk about accessories, applications, covers, etc ... all related to the iPad, our iDevice par excellence. And it is that the Apple world is also interesting seeing all the 'extras' that we can add to our devices, some quite interesting.
We will focus on a series of accessories with which you will surely succeed. I doubt that the person who comes across one of these gifts this Christmas, after unwrapping them by smashing the wrapping paper, puts on a circumstantial face, since they are curious. We go with a External GPS for our iPad Wifi (which we already talked about in its old version), a camera with which to control your little ones, A large mixing table for your Christmas parties, or already classic Philips bulbs.
Bad Elf Dongle, adding a GPS to our iPad Wifi
If you have a iPad in its Wifi version (without mobile connectivity) You may have noticed that the device does not have a GPS chip, this is because it does not have a mobile network chip and Apple has left us without GPS connectivity as well. The problem is that the iPad Wifi, even if it does not have a mobile network, can be interesting for use it as a GPS device, and not having this chip we will lose this function.
This is solved with the device you have presented Bad Elf, a review of their previous GPS Dongle for devices with a 30-pin connector. Now the Dongle has a Lightning connection and with it you can get a GPS and GLONASS location (Russian positioning system).
The price, about € 95. A somewhat expensive but interesting device for anyone who can use a large GPS device (mountaineering, maritime - air navigation).
Smart Baby Monitor by Withings, controlling our little ones from our iDevice
Much has been said about this camera with which to control the little ones in the house, a 'premium' surveillance camera for its quality, and for its cost ... The truth is that it is a great camera, allows remote rotation and tilt so that you can control all the movements of your little oneAllows light up the room with subdued colors so that your little one can rest more calmly, you can 'talk' directly with him, all with a 3mpx quality (full color) and night vision.
La camera connects via Wifi And the best thing is that you don't need to be on the same network. The WithBaby app will notify us of everything that happens to our little one without the need for us to be looking through it.
Its price, 249,95€ a somewhat expensive investment that you may be able to get on the second-hand market.
Pioneer Digital DJ WeGo2, become the king of the party
The iPad is an excellent device for working with music, and if we think of Christmas we will also think of all those parties that are so fashionable at this time. Perhaps you will find yourself with the hard task of organize a New Year's Eve party for example and this accessory will be your salvation to play all those party hits.
The mixing desk Pioneer's WeGo2 is one of the best options, it is compatible with VirtualDJ, Algoriddim djay, Serato DJ and Traktor Pro 2. Se connect via Lightning, is very intuitive, has a base for our device (it is compatible with all iDevices), and has a series of LEDs that will mark the BPM with which we will learn to mix songs.
The bad thing is the price, 349,95€, and is that good is expensive ...
Philips Hue Connected Bulb, one of the most successful accessories
A product of the future, something that will probably be much more widespread in 20 years? smart bulbs, which we can control from our iDevice. We will have a control of tonality and intensity, but the most interesting are the extra functions that we can have with them ...
They are presented in a 'Starter Pack'for anyone who wants to start with them, since we will need a central to control them. They are bulbs that work via wifi through the switchboard that we are talking about which has Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity. With this system we can connect up to 50 Philips Hue bulbs which we can purchase individually for € 60.
In the video that you have below you can see one of the functions that you can give to these bulbs. And it is that you can program them to work in harmony with your music, create lighting environments to wake up or fall asleep, create IFTTT recipes so that they light up when you have new social notifications ... In short, an endless number of extra utilities that you can have with these bulbs.
The Starter Pack that includes the switchboard and 3 bulbs is priced at € 199,95, an expensive but quite interesting product, I love it!
