POMM cork ipad case

This rather lovely ipad case was designed by Pomm Design Studio, Portugal. The case is made entirely out of cork, and has a jagged sleek look, perfect to protect your iPad from any bumps.

"We have chosen cork due to its properties: it is durable, versatile and highly resistant to daily use, choque absorber and water resistent. Its modelling is easy, and it’s an ecological and biodegradable material... From the beginning we wanted to make something entirely new to revolutionize the standard products currently on the market.”

Sponsored Video: Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

This is the new Samsung advert for their Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet computer. It's a great format for an advertising campaign – re-imagining creative historic moments jotted down, not on paper, but on the Galaxy Note tablet!

The video sets off in Bath, with Jane Austin, not penning, but taking the first swipe of her 'new' book Emma. Then it's off to Spain for a Pablo Picasso original - but created using the unique 'S Pen' on the Samsung Galaxy Note! I think you're starting to get the idea... Off to North Carolina for one of the Wright Brothers to jot down a quick idea for a flying machine, and Everest in 1953 - Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay have a few mid climb notes to take! Finally old Leonardo Da Vinci has some incredible concepts to note down.

What will you create?

The advert for the Galaxy Note has an original theme, which nicely displays the ease of use and the capabilities of this new tablet computer. The generous 10.1-inch display and advanced S Pen make the Galaxy Note a top player in the highly competitive tablet computer market. But from the look of this advertising campaign Samsung have created a great new contender in the Galaxy Note 10.1. From simple web browsing to word processing and for use as a creative outlet - the note has it all.




What do you think? Would you buy a Galaxy Note over the other main rivals? What's the best tablet computer out there?
