The Bweasel iPad stand (http://www.bweasel.com) -- an easel that attaches to the Apple tablet -- is being offered an introductory price until Aug. 31.

The Bweasel stand is able to support the iPad at any angle from nearly horizontal to nearly vertical. The stand provides for portrait and landscape positions and can be situated on a keyboard.

With the Bweasel attached, the iPad occupies a small footprint on a night table, coffee table, desk or counter for use as an alarm clock, photo frame, charging location or other personal use. The Bweasel stand also serves as a holding device.

A person can also stand for hours using the iPad, because no finger gripping is required to hold the iPad when the Bweasel stand is attached, according to the folks at Bweasel. This feature is useful for doctors, teachers and field reps. For travelers, the low-profile, three ounce Bweasel stand stows attached to the iPad in most soft sleeves, totes or briefcases for access to the Apple tablet during travel.

The Bweasel iPad 2 stand has an introductory price of $24.95 until August 31, after which the price will increase to $29.95. The Bweasel iPad 1 stand has also been permanently reduced to $24.95. Free shipping to US addresses is included for both stands.
