Logi BASE is the Smart Connector charging dock for the iPad Pro

Logi by Logitech has created an iPad Pro charging stand. The Logi BASE uses Apple's Smart Connector technology to charge the device while propping it up in a stylish and durable stand.

BASE gives iPad Pro's the perfect spot to recharge in any room of the house — and while you’re using it too. It has magnets in the charging cradle to perfectly align iPad Pro with the Smart Connector. The Smart Connector has a minimal profile that makes it effortless to place your iPad Pro in the charging position. Just place your iPad Pro on BASE and it begins to charge. This also blends nicely with the Apple Bluetooth keyboard for a slick desktop typing and computing solution. The Logi BASE is available from Apple and Logi starting today for CAD $129.                                                                              

Nokia in talks to buy Withings for US $191 million

Nokia is reportedly in talks to buy French fitness gadget and wearable company Withings who made some waves a few years ago with its Activite fitness trackers which resembled classic timepieces. Nokia is apparently interested in investing into the health tracking aspect of the company, similar to Apple's HealthKit initiative.

Withings was founded in 2008 and has brought to market various connected health appliances, including smart watches, fitness trackers, thermometers, and baby monitors, among other gadgets. Nokia, who famously sold their phone business to Microsoft as well as their Here maps to a consortium of carmakers, is focused on Internet of Things and connected lifestyle products and ecosystems. 

"We have said consistently that digital health was an area of strategic interest to Nokia, and we are now taking concrete action to tap the opportunity in this large and important market," said Nokia CEO Rajeev Suri.
