The iPad is a great mobile device, but when you’re sitting at your desk or standing in the kitchen it’s not very convenient to use. The HoverBar by Tweve South solves this problem by keeping your iPad 2 hovering within arm’s reach, making it accessible without taking up space.
Then you can have Twitter, Wikipedia or a weather app up to keep tabs on things while you’re working. Or take it further and use it for Skype or FaceTime. Either way, you can do more without sacrificing any screen space on your Mac.
The HoverBar is compatible with any iMac or Apple display with an L-shaped stand. You can also use it as a standalone iPad stand, by attaching it to a table, kitchen cabinet or other surface without drilling holes or inserting screws. You can even use the iPad as a fixed steering wheel for a driving game once it’s been attached to the HoverBar.
If you’ve got an iPad 2 and a Mac, then this seems the best way to combine them I’ve seen. I’m a massive fan of extra screen space, and in many ways having an iPad is even better, as it can run its own apps without impacting what you’re doing on the main Mac.
