Filed under: iPad Earlier today, Apple pushed back the availability of some iPad accessories, per Electronista; namely, the iPad Keyboard Dock and the 10W USB Power Adapter .

The non-keyboard dock and the Dock Connector To VGA Adapter . There’s still no word on the much-anticipated camera connection kit. As with the iPhone and the iPod before it, a cottage industry of accessories is rapidly growing around the iPad

When we last saw the AirStash , it was keeping its mystique about it and refusing to disclose any salient details beyond the fact that it’ll function as a wireless SD/SDHC card reader. Today, the fog of war is lifted with the news that the AirStash is now officially on sale for $99.99, and will come with a battery good for five hours of continuous data streaming. Marketed primarily at iPhone OS devices, it creates a wireless network that allows any WiFi and browser-equipped computer to access the storage cards within it. The UI is built around HTML5 and recharging is done via a USB connection, which also turns the AirStash into a simple SDHC card adapter when plugged in. Check out our hands-on with it from CES over here and look for a full review coming up shortly. We do care so very deeply our portable storage.

9to5Mac has been keeping a close eye on official Apple iPad accessories [ Apple Online Store link ] and while the iPad dock and iPod Dock to VGA adapter remain on April 3 schedule, the iPad Case is now listed as shipping in mid April while the iPad Keyboard Dock and iPad 10W USB Power Adapter have fallen to May. What’s more: Perhaps even worse then those accessory delays is the iPad Camera Kit’s current situation. The kit which allows you to connect an SD card or digital cameras to your iPad is not even on Apple’s online store. Did Apple underestimate demand for some of the iPad accessories? Did you manage to order one before the delays? iPad Accessories Already Facing Delays, Shortages

iPhone World.ca writes : Yell recently unveiled an update to their iPhone application that adds Augmented Reality. If you do not quite understand what that means, the best way to describe it is to think about an overlay on life that will mark shops, businesses, and points of interest. With the built in camera on the iPhone, the GPS, and compass, Yell built that overlay. Amazing. While you move your iPhone’s display around, it will mark various locations with yellow boxes. When you tap on one of the yellow boxes, information will be displayed on that location such as the name of the business, address, telephone number, hours of operation, and their website
