iPad/Tablets Must Have Accessories Part II

5:25 PM  High Tech House Calls, Expert Computer Consulting  

In one of my last blogs concerning iPads and Tablets,  I suggested cleaning supplies and styluses to buy. Here are some other accessories that you might find helpful: 

If you are a fan of playing audio books or music on your iPad or Tablet, there is a simple way of playing the sound through your car's stereo  speakers.
  1. If your car stereo has an AUX port, the solution is to buy an AUX cable. Connect the AUX cable from the iPad/Tablet headphone jack to the car stereo AUX port. Select AUX from your car stereo and you're done. http://www.kensington.com/kensington/us/us/p/1485/K39202US/aux-audio-cable.aspx
  2. If your car stereo does not have an AUX port, but has a cassette deck, you can buy an adapter that looks like a cassette tape with an AUX cable attached to it. Insert the cassette tape adapter in the cassette desk and the AUX cable to the headphone jack of the iPad/Tablet. Select play on your car stereo and you're done. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=631469&Q=&is=REG&A=details
  3. If you don't have a cassette deck or an AUX port, you still have an option. An FM transmitter will allow you to "play" your iPad/Tablet over an unused radio station frequency. Here is an example of an FM Transmitter: http://www.griffintechnology.com/ipod/in-car
Sync cables

A sync cable allows you to connect your iPad/Tablet to your computer. This cable allows you to share documents and photos between your computer and your iPad/Tablet. You can never have enough sync cables. It seems that I am either misplacing mine or they are being "borrowed" by my children. Apple accessories are expensive, so using non-Apple sync cables can be an easy alternative.

At present, if you have a Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet, you must buy sync cables from Amazon and Barnes and Noble directly because there are no alternatives available.
