The iPad is an impractical tool for extended writing or rapid note taking without an external keyboard, but those add weight, another battery to keep charged, and Bluetooth pairing headaches. The iKeyboard aims to add a tactile layer between the iPad’s soft keyboard and your fingers, allowing you to type as much as you would on a laptop without wasting time looking at your fingers.

Apple device maker Cirago showed off their latest and greatest iDevice accessories, Mac add-ons, and cabling solutions at Macworld | iWorld 2012, including new sync/charging cables with a surprise feature and a great iPad dock charger to replace the iPad dock Apple killed with the launch of the iPad 2.

The Line 6 Mobile In is a digital guitar adapter that uses the dock connection to interface your iOS device with your guitar. But there’s more; a whole app more. As if a digital input that works with other guitar effects apps wasn’t enough, Line 6 is giving away their Mobile POD app, and it’s awesome.

Facebook is many things to many people. To families, it’s a connection to siblings and parents far away. To schoolmates, it’s a time machine to a time long past. To friends, it’s the destroyer of all things good. But what it’s always been is simply software. Until now. Violet has now turned your Facebook connection into hardware…and a vegetable rabbit, at that.

Monster’s Clarity HD Model One had me thinking back to party night at church camp, and the sound system that was required to fill an outdoor pavilion.

Not just an accessory, but a revelation in iPhone usefulness, the FlyGrip is easily one of the top ten iDevice accessories of all time.

In all the post-CES and pre-Macworld | iWorld commotion, we missed the announcement that Jasco Products has acquired the license to the T-Tech by Tumi brand, and will launch a full collection of accessories and cases for smartphones, laptops and tablets. The collection will remain true to T-Tech by Tumi’s “trend-focused brand of travel, business, day bags and accessory designs for high-tech lifestyles.”

Macworld | iWorld 2012 has come and gone, just like that. Three days are barely enough to take a close look at all the new apps, gadgets, software and hardware that vendors were happy to show off, but it was enough time for the Appletell team to put together our list of favorite products from the show floor. This year, it’s an iPhone camera accessory, a home control system and one developer’s entire lineup.
