    The Fuel is able to wirelessly stream content to up to five devices without an internet connection. When a Wi-Fi network is available, the Fuel can be connected and used as a hotspot to provide those same devices access to the internet.

    The Fuel is also AirPlay compatible and and has a battery good for ten hours of use per charge. The company bills it as the Fuel for the iPad, but it works with the Seagate media app so it should work with the iPhone, Android, and the Kindle as well. Pricing for the 2TB Fuel is $249.99(USD) and it will ship this month.

    Possible To Use Office For iPad Without Office 365 Subscription

    Earlier this week Microsoft finally launched Office for iPad. The popular productivity suite, made up of Word, Excel and PowerPoint apps, has landed on Apple’s tablet absolutely free, but there is a caveat. Office for iPad apps can be used for reading, viewing and presentation only. If users want the full editing and composing power, they need an Office 365 subscription. However, a loophole left open by Microsoft makes it possible to use Office for iPad without Office 365 subscription.

    Office For iPad Could Get Print Functionality Later

    Posted in: Today's Chili

    Office For iPad Could Get Print Functionality LaterOffice for iPad was launched yesterday. For the most part the apps function like its desktop counterpart, although there seems to be one noticeable difference and that is the inability to print. This isn’t because there is problems connecting to a printer or that there is a bug, it is simply because there is no print functionality included at the moment.

    This was noticed by the folks at PCWorld who discovered in a support document that there is currently no print feature for the iPad productivity suite. However the question is, will there be one added in the future? After all we’re sure many users would greatly appreciate such functionality, right? (more…)
