Another weird and fun week with the GMen as that ol Stick (or is that stuck?) in the mud Gaz has a good time watching fast cars go around a track and Guy gets a package with Crabs and Penguins. Just listen as it will all make sense soon. Guy talks about setting up an iPad and laptop for his college-bound son. TONS of feedback and suggestion from our great listeners and why Gaz and Guy don’t want you to act like Batman.

TidBITS Publishing’s Take Control Series of eBooks has the answer to just about any question you may have about iOS Mail in Take Control of Mail on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch, by Joe Kissell.

As a high school science teacher for the past 18 years, I’ve had the opportunity to try out a number of bags to carry the myriad of papers, laptops, iPads, and books back and forth to school each day. I put these bags through their paces and I’ve seen some pretty decent bags and some pretty awful ones too. When Thule sent me their 15″ Crossover Messenger Bag, I could tell right away that it was built with quality and durability in mind. I’ve been using the bag for most of the past school year and it still looks like a brand-new bag.

Guy and Gaz back recording together but a few days early because Gaz has to go off to Turkey (OH the HORROR!). All kinds of drama happening (none of which did we actually put on the show because, well, it’s drama). Gaz finally moves to iCloud, you great listeners come through again with feedback, why is Popeye afraid of Bluto (not to worry, it all makes sense), and how many iPads can you steal at one time? A woman in Texas just needs to know. Also, replacing your laptop with an iPad can (but should it?) be done and in this first part of an ongoing series we tell you how. First up, keyboards.

Bracketron’s Twist360 has four spring clips to securely grip the iPad (as well as many other tablets and e-readers). With the device attached, the iPad can be propped up on a table or other flat surface. The 4-inch ring on the back can be adjusted to a comfortable viewing angle. This ring also rotates so that the iPad can be viewed horizontally or vertically. It is encased in silicone so it doesn’t slide and it also serves as a comfortable carrying handle.

Bracketron’s tablet mount is a multi-part device that fits into your car’s cup holder. It does a nice job in spite of its complexity. In addition to holding your iPad, there are small compartments underneath for a mobile phone and some pens. Bear in mind that this is a review for iPad users even though the device is described as being universal.

Bracketron provides a clever way to securely mount an iPad (or other tablet) to the headrest of one of the forward seats in your car. A big screen HD TV in the back seat of a car? Well, pretty close! Most car DVD players have fairly small, low resolution screens. The 10 inch iPad retina screen seems gloriously huge and crisp by comparison. It’s certainly big enough for everyone in the back seat to see it clearly.

Oh, and yes, Guy changes the way he records the podcast again. The 400th Podcast contest is almost at the close so hurry up and get your FaceBook Likes in before it’s too late.
