Unfortunately, the Thunderstorm carries a hefty price tag. We would be pleased with this purchase if we had just spent £100 on it, but at £180 we'd wonder whether we could have saved money by buying a case with stand functionality and a separate speaker s...

One of the biggest bugbears with the iPad is its paltry rear-facing speaker. Some tablets, notably the BlackBerry PlayBook and Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, have a pair of front-firing stereo speakers, which make them sound considerably better when watching...

In my office I tend to rock out to a 300-watt stereo system. When I go to wash dishes and have to use my iPad's native speaker, well, there's no comparison. Belkin's Thunderstorm case won't crank up to the level of a really large stereo, but it is loud en...
