Crux Loaded shields your iPad, gives it a trackpad and some extra juice

CruxCase, makers of specially designed cases for the iPad, has announced the launch of a new case for the iPad called the Crux Loaded. Picking up cues from its original Crux lineup, the Crux Loaded also turns the iPad into some sort of laptop-like device, but with some extra features.

While cases with keyboards are not uncommon, the Crux Loaded also gives you an extra battery and a trackpad to aid you in your navigation, turning your iPad into a fully-functional iOS laptop. Users will have the convenience of both a touchscreen and a trackpad – making some functions such as accurate selection much easier to perform. The extra battery is no slouch either, giving users an extra 7.5 hours on the iPad. The Crux Loaded will be available this fall, and will set you back $249.00 each. Find out more at the official website.

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
