Title: Modio Smart Case for iPad
Post by: Jobydrone on January 07, 2015, 08:14:45 AM
Interesting product from AT&T coming down the pike soon.

This case apparently offers a connection to the ATT mobile network for wifi only iPads, acting as a wireless hotspot to their 4G LTE network.  No idea how it works, but the case also has a micro SD slot for expanded storage!  Ever since I got my 128gb iPhone my 32gb iPad has seemed pretty skimpy on the storage front, and the lack of an ability to expand the storage on the Apple devices has always compared poorly to competitors products.  These are very interesting features and I am very curious about pricing, to be announced later.  Of course for those with an iPhone on AT&T you can already make it a wireless hotspot, which is kind of the same thing I guess?

That is an intriguing device.  Pity they top off the xtra memory at 32GB.  I have often thought it would be cool to have a keyboard for the iPad that has an SD or microSD slot.
