Over the years we’ve seen increasing numbers of solar backpacks and messenger bags designed to keep mobile devices juiced up by harnessing energy from the sun. With the flood of tablets looking to jump on the iPad’s coattails at CES 2011, it comes as no surprise to see a solar bag specifically designed for such devices. Produced by Voltaic, the company behind a variety of solar backpacks and messenger bags including the Converter, the Spark Tablet Case’s solar panels generate 8 watts of power to provide about an hour of iPad runtime for every hour in direct sunlight.
The Spark Tablet Case includes a battery pack that holds nearly one full iPad charge. It takes eight to nine hours to charge in direct sunlight and can also be recharged from normal or high-powered USB ports or wall charger. To speed up iPad charging the bag includes a “high-power” 2A USB port in addition to a “normal” 650 mA USB port.
The bag’s solar panels are waterproof, while its 600D shell is made from recycled PET and is waterproof, lightweight and UV resistant. Including the battery and solar panels the Spark weighs two pounds (900 g) and measures 13.5" high x 10.5" wide x 1.5" deep (34 x 27 x 4 cm) with the interior mesh pocket providing room for your tablet’s various adapters and cables.
The bag can charge a range of devices via normal or high-power USB ports or via adapters for devices lacking USB charging capabilities. In addition to tablets such as the iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab, Voltaic expects the bag will also charge upcoming tablets from Acer, Archos, ASUS, RIM and HP.
The Spark Tablet Case will also charge most mobile phones and the voltage output of the bag’s solar panels can also be adjusted from 6V to 12V to charge larger 7.4V DSLR camera batteries. However, this will require an optional battery cradle that supports the specific camera battery.
Voltaic expects to release its Spark Tablet Case in the Northern Hemisphere Spring 2011 at a price yet to be announced.

The iGrill is a cooking thermometer that transmits the temperature of cooking meat to its user's iPhone, iPod or iPad, via Bluetooth

It can be a tricky business, determining when grilled meat is properly cooked inside. You could buy a probe-equipped thermometer, but that would still need to be checked periodically – if you’re entertaining guests out by your barbecue, checking a thermometer is something that you could easily forget to do. What someone needs to invent is a cooking thermometer that notifies your iPhone, iPod or iPad via Bluetooth, when your steaks have reached the desired internal temperature. Needless to say, such a product has, in fact, been invented – it’s made by iDevices, and is called the iGrill.
The included Bluetooth app, besides simply relaying the meat’s temperature, also advises what temperatures you should be aiming at for different types of meat, and lets you know approximately how long it will be before your meat is ready.
If you’re not part of the Apple cult, or you simply don’t want to bother setting up the app, the iGrill also works as a stand-alone tool. Sealed controls allow you to enter the desired temperature directly on the device itself, which has its own LED temperature display, and which will beep when the meat is done. If you do take advantage of its Bluetooth feature, it will be able to communicate with your chosen i-whatzit from a range of over 200 feet (61 meters).
The iGrill is available at Apple stores and through the product website, for US$99.99. It currently comes only in white, although a black version is coming out in February, along with custom skins “in a variety of colors and styles to express your individual mood” (oh, brother). An Android version is also in th

a few iPad tips...
Hello everyone,
I have recently come across a few things for the iPad that people may find useful.
As previously mentioned, VuMedi videos work very well on the iPad. We should all have logins for this site, if not then register.
Some of you have asked in the past how to get your email (lumc.edu account) onto the iPad mail client. This link shows the instructions to setup your IMAP account which will allow you to continue to access emails on your ipad. Enjoy.
Finally I wanted to share a tip that saved me major headaches last night. For no good reason, my iPad wouldn't turn on when I got home. Seeing as I had all of the journal club articles and multiple other important things on my iPad, I was just a tad scared. On the Apple iPad support forums I found a tip that to restart your iPad when something like this occurs you need to push and hold both the home and the power buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds. I did this and it miraculously turned back on without problems. Hopefully this saves you headaches and time should this happen to you.

iPod Touches in use at Nursing School

Keeping nursing students in touch
Hand-held mobile technology provides tools to improve patient care
By Laura Perry December 13, 2010
UCLA nursing students show new iPod Touch
(To view a video of the ceremony, see "Related Video" in right-hand column.)
In a special ceremony combining tradition with technology, 118 UCLA School of Nursing students were recently cloaked in white coats, signaling their transition from preclinical studies to clinical health sciences. And in the pocket of those coats was a tool they'll need to become successful in today's health care world — an iPod Touch.
"The robing of each student with a white coat signifies their journey from the classroom to the clinical setting," said Courtney Lyder, dean of the nursing school. "At the same time, we want to make sure that we provide them with the tools to be successful and prepare them for 21st-century health care."
The white-coat ceremony is a relatively new ritual practiced by some nursing schools. What is not a tradition is the gifting of technology.
The core goal of giving the students the Apple iPod Touch is to improve the learning experience and to give students flexible access to the health care–related content they need.
The students were excited and touched by the gift.
"To have this knowledge at our fingertips is a phenomenal gift we've been given with this device," said Nathan Ball, a third-year bachelor of science student in nursing.
Third-year undergraduate nursing students and first-year master's entry clinical nursing students received an iPod Touch. The device provides students with mobile applications that give them information they'll need in the classroom and at the bedside, as well as an app to help them prepare for the nursing board examination.
The apps include:
Nursing Central
Provides everything the nurse needs — nursing assessment, nursing diagnoses and nursing procedures. It includes the Davis Drug Guide, lab and diagnostic tests, a diseases and disorders reference, and Taber's Medical Dictionary. There is also a Medline Journal citation and study-abstract explorer.
Medical Spanish
Translates English questions and phrases into Spanish to support Spanish-speaking patients. With Hispanics now constituting nearly half the population in Southern California, having the ability to communicate successfully with patients is critical to delivering the proper care. The app includes more than 3,000 phrases.
NCLEX Review
This comprehensive review is what students study before taking the California Nursing Board Examination to become licensed as registered nurses.
While nursing apps for the iPhone or iPod Touch will never be a substitute for professional nursing knowledge, experience and the judgment of the practicing nurse or student nurse, Lyder said, "we are at a major crossroad in redefining nursing education and delivery of care."
"Taking care of patients is a tremendous responsibility," he said. "While we still encourage the traditional methods of diagnosis, there is an overwhelming amount of medical information available. Providing each student with new technology for use at the bedside can only improve patient safety and the delivery of care.
"For example," he added, "if a patient is concerned about interactions among multiple drugs, the Nursing Central app can quickly double-check the medications. Anything that improves health care ultimately helps patients."
Embracing wireless technology to find ways to improve care is not new to the UCLA School of Nursing. Many faculty researchers at the school are exploring the potential for wireless technology to improve health.
The UCLA School of Nursing is redefining nursing through the pursuit of uncompromised excellence in research, education, practice, policy and patient advocacy. The school offers programs for the undergraduate (B.S.), postgraduate (M.S.N. and M.E.C.N.) and doctoral (Ph.D.) student.

Create Videos Using Powerpoint (for Mac) and post in Vumedi
In the past we posted a blog on how to make videos in Powerpoint on a PC, this can also be done on a Mac. You can voice over a Powerpoint presentation and then we convert it to a video. Below are instructions for how to voice over your PowerPoint presentation.
Intstructions:
Step 1: If your Mac has a camera, it also has a built in microphone, these work well. If not, plug a microphone into your computer.
Step 2: Open your presentation in Powerpoint
Step 3. Select “Slide Show” at the top and then select “Record Narration” (See image below).
Select "Slide Show" and then 'Record Narration"
Step 4: Select the “Input Device”. If you are using the built-in microphone, it is already selected. Then click “Record”.
Select Input Device
Step 4: Your slide show will begin to play. Speak into the microphone to record your presentation. Press the RIGHT arrow key to move on to the next slide (You will see a message saying “Exporting movie” and then your next slide will appear). The timings are automatically recorded. IMPORTANT: After each slide, you must pause, advance the slide, and then begin speaking again. Powerpoint does not record audio when it advances to the next slide.
Step 5: When you advance past your last slide, you will see the message below, select “Yes”:
Select "Yes"
Step 6: Another message will appear, select “Yes”:
Select "Yes"
Your recording is now complete!
The final step is to send us your presentation. Email us at contact@vumedi.com to get details on how you may send your presentation and all accompanying files.

Lo-Jack for the iPAD
Through MobileMe, there is a way to track a lost or missing iPAD. Should be helpful since we all have iPADs now. Also, it can track a lost iPhone, so there is help for Ajay and Foster after all.
