What happens when you combine the iPad and Velcro
[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/11886557[/vimeo] If you were stranded on an island and could either have an iPad or Velcro, what would you choose? I mean, on one hand, the iPad is a multi-purpose piece of technology that users are going crazy over. Velcro is, well, an ingenious invention but not that exciting. Velcro doesn’t seem to get the credit it deserves. The iPad will get updated over the years, but velcro hasn’t changed since day one. A design so innovative, it needs no improvement. So what if someone decided to put both these technologies together. Yes, you might want to sit down for this. GENIUS!!!!!! An iPad as your on-dash GPS, or a digital picture frame. The ideas are endless. As my grandfather once said: “just put some duct tape and velcro around it and it’s like new”. Seems like something MacGyver would do. Source: TUAW
If I had an iPad with me I would have noticed that link to the video. Thanks for sharing that.
No you wouldn’t, it’s Flash 😉
Actually, you can watch videos from youtube, vimeo and other web sites on iPhone, iPod, iPad… you don’t need flash. Try it, here’s the link:
Not sure I’d want to cook in front of it (i.e oil splatter) but the idea is awesome. Can’t wait around for someone to design and sell iPad holders that fit onto your motorbike ;)! (Although I’d worry that the velcro won’t be strong enough after a while…)
I think you need an illustration to really sell this article. We want to see it in action.
What the heck is a Velcro?
that was amazing!
