This Magnetic iPad Stand, called Magnus, is as sleek as it can get. Really pretty.
Daily Levitation
Natsumi Hayashi is a Tokyo based photographer that makes flying look easy. She takes daily levitating self-portraits. Fascinating. “Sometimes I need to jump more than 300 times to get the perfect shot,” Hayashi told MSNBC.com on June 8.

Alarm Dock
Jonas Damon’s Alarm Dock turns your iPhone into an old-school looking alarm clock. All you need is a flip clock app and you’re set. Made me smile.

Apple Logo Rainbow Sticker
Seeing the old treatment of the Apple Logo (on a new MacBook Pro) just now gave me an instant sense of nostalgia. I will most definitely order one of these raised, awesome, stickers to put on my iPad or Laptop.
(thanks for the nostalgia, sam)
Miniot Wood iPad2 Cover
(photos originally uploaded by DesignArea)
Every now and then I come across gadget accessories that takes my breath away. It just happened now when I discovered the Miniot Wooden iPad2 Cover. The companies about page put a huge smile on my face. All it shows is a “Team Photo” (below). How can you not buy a product from what looks to be a Dutch family enterprise? Hat tip Miniot, your iPad2 cover is a beauty.

Block Dock
The BlockDock for iPad is an elegant, solid wood stand for vertical and horizontal viewing. Every BlockDock is hand crafted from wood locally harvested in the Pacific Northwest. Pretty, no?
Writer for iPad
Whenever fellow Swiss Oliver Reichenstein comes out with a new product/service/site I pay attention. Given that Oliver is a smart young man and obviously works with a talented bunch over at iA, I am quite excited about using Writer for iPad. I yet have to extensively play around with it, but I am liking their approach and concept.
Read their story about the Writer of iPad.
Revive Your Bloated, Sluggish Mac
This Lifehacker Post “Clean Up and Revive Your Bloated, Sluggish Mac” is not new, but sure comes in handy as I am trying to 6-12 months out of my Powerbook.

This Apfelbrett made me smile. It’s a cutting board in the shape of an Apple Powerbook MacBook Pro, made out of apple tree wood.

Updated: LiveView
LiveView for iPhone & iPad is a Mobile Application Design & Prototyping Tool. Designers like me will love it to develop pixel–perfect graphics for the iPhone and iPad quickly and easily with a live view of your canvas/artboard while you work. With your iPhone or iPad tethered via WiFi, you can interact with software prototypes and demos running on your Mac to communicate and iterate your concepts quickly. Excellent!
UPDATE 1: The setup of LiveView is supereasy and this is handsdown a lifesaver when designing for an iPhone or iPad. I can instantly see how my design translates to the iPhone screen. Can you tell I am ridiculously excited about this app? Nicholas, put up a donate button on your site! You deserve a token of our gratitude. Or send me your address and I’ll send you cookies. SOMETHING! #yay
UPDATE 2: I am beyond thrilled to see that Nicholas updated the app so that it now supports the iPhone 4 Retina display as well iPads.

Compass Mobile Stand
Compass by TwelveSouth is the iPad stand I have been wishing for. It is made out of gorgeous steel and is incredibly versatile: Used upright as an easel, Compass lets you view and interact with iPad in both portrait and landscape modes, even if you keep your iPad protected in the Apple case. Turn your iPad on its side, in landscape position, and Compass becomes the ultimate portable theater.
It is about the size of candy bar, requiring very little space in your backpack, computer bag or purse. Store it in the included soft travel sleeve, which matches the Apple iPad case, and you’re ready to roll.
