Great news, via The Onion:

In what tech giant Apple is calling a “major leap forward” for one of its most beloved products, the company announced Tuesday it would begin selling a new version of its popular iPad tablet with an extra attached storage drawer…  “With slick ball-bearing slides and an ultra-light frame, the 4D can easily carry photographs, pens, calculators, legal pads, iPhones, and other personal belongings. Life just got a whole lot better, iPad users.”

Clearly a feature that will give the iPad a new competitive edge over all those copycat rival tablets. :)

Jonny Five and his pals are back at it with a Banned iPad mini promo video. Written by John Elerick, who also plays Jonny Five, it’s another fun spoof of Apple’s promo videos generally shown at their special events announcing new products.

I love the sad, frustrated Senior VP of Cameras.

Typically great stuff from Joy of Tech. Perfect if you’ve run short of ways to let everyone know you have the new iPad. Check out the full-size image at Joy of Tech:

I never tire of talking about what an amazing and versatile device the iPad is. It can be put to use for just about anything you can think of, especially given the 200,000 apps now available for it.

Here’s one use I’m not so sure about recommending though – the iPad as wristwatch. CNET’s Amanda Kooser gave it a try following a PR pitch that lead with this title:

"Tech designer unveils world’s first iPad wristwatch."

It seems like she wasn’t convinced by the concept. :)

Very good stuff, as ever from Joy of Tech. See the full image, with more facts, here:
