Introducing the Logitech® Joystick for iPad® and the Logitech®
Fold-Up Keyboard for iPad® 2
FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Today Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) unveiled two new accessories
that help you make the most of your tablet. The Logitech®
Fold-Up Keyboard for iPad® 2 is the ideal tool for comfy, on-the-go
typing, and the Logitech®
Joystick for iPad offers more accurate, immersive game play.
Moving tablet use beyond the traditional touchpad strokes, both devices
empower you to interact with your iPad more efficiently, extending your
tablet experience into the world around you.
"Many people are using tablets in ways that require more than fingertip
scrolling, pointing and pressing on the touchpad," said Azmat Ali,
Logitech vice president of mobile and tablet products. "Whether you're
typing notes, emailing, or playing games, both devices greatly extend
flexibility when it comes to creating content or enjoying entertainment."
Highlights of Logitech's new iPad tablet accessories:
Logitech Fold-Up Keyboard for iPad 2
The Logitech Fold-Up Keyboard for iPad 2 is your perfect on-the-go
solution. With a full-size, Bluetooth® keyboard and stand, you simply
open and type, and close and forget. Closed, the keyboard rests securely
underneath your iPad 2. Open, it holds the tablet at an ideal angle for
typing and taking notes. Unlike folio-style Bluetooth keyboards, the
Logitech Fold-Up Keyboard for iPad 2 is full-sized for comfy typing. And
it charges over USB, so you never need to worry about replacing
batteries. The device wakes up and is ready to use as soon as it's
unfolded, and turns itself off automatically when folded to save battery
power.
Logitech Joystick for iPad
The Logitech Joystick for iPad is the perfect gaming companion for your
iPad or iPad 2. No one likes to lose a point or go down in defeat
because their thumb misses the control area. The Logitech Joystick for
iPad gives you a thumb-stick style game controller that you can use with
just about any game with an on-screen joystick or d-pad. The device
attaches to your iPad with suction cups that are easy to apply and easy
to remove. And the coiled spring provides force feedback that
automatically returns the joystick to the center position.

and Europe beginning in September, for a suggested retail price of
$129.99 (U.S.). The Logitech Joystick is expected to be available in the
