iPad – Apple’s most curious music player yet.
I have to hand it to the R&D folks at apple, they really do create some lovely gadgets. Things that have form as well as function. So my usual respect was taken up a notch today when I saw the advert for this summer’s must have gadget, the iPad.
Until recently the gadget market has been dominated by young to middle-aged, technically minded men. So Apple’s release of an iPod shuffle derivative aimed directly at the female market is illustrative of their position as one of the few companies whose appeal is equally split between the tech savvy and urban chic of both genders.
The text of the iPad ad’ says it all:
Meet iPad shuffle, the discrete new member of the iPod family.
Wear it with almost nothing else.
It’s waterproof, sandproof, ergonomically contoured and invisible under swimwear,
We call it summerproof.
…and in case you drift off listening to 240 of your favourite thongs we’ve incorporated a discrete vibrating alarm function so you never forget to reapply your sunscreen.
Available April 1 2005 from rom $99.
Brown Mac & Not PC.
It will be interesting to see how it fares when it is released today.

Now, the iPad isn’t an iPod
This is the first image result when looking for the now-real product.
My server is getting a proper kicking tonight. The logs look like ticker-tape gone wild.
Gaah! I’m searching for the real one lol. This is pretty funny.
This is creepy… Coz apple have now actually released an ipad! which is getting these same jokes! kudos to you Rich — you are apparently a visionary! =D
THEY RELASED THE IPAD TODAY!!!
Mentioned the original iPad here, just to remind folks.

And I noticed that yes, appropriately, this page is the #1 image result for the query iPad, and on the homepage no matter. I can’t tell you how much glee that fills me with! Well done. Send my regards to your server.
That’s excellent – I bet there’s been thousands of people scratching their heads thinking WTF!
So you wear it under your pants, and it has a vibrating function….
Shouldn’t it be called the Opad..
Or V-Pad :]
hahaha, that’s hilarious
this ipad would of been more popular than the real ipad LoL
haha that’s like woah hella funny
A whole new world
Ha Ha
looks like apple actually invented the same product 3 years later .. or is it 5 years later?.. hilarious.
süpermiş ya
the ipad sounds so dumb if you ask me its the same thing as the i pod touch apple is just tring to invent something new but yet they invented the samething but bigger its retared!
True it is kind of the same… but I think it has a more computerish layout
I found this when searching for the real thing too!! Really funny, though!
I think they should make an ipod that looks like a hearing aid!
They would be really popular because you could wear them at school and teachers wouldn’t see
Comfortable and discrete.. iPon
it’s the gPad. nuff said.
wow i cant believe this was from like 4 years ago lol,, nice !!!
I don’t think the Ipad will be as successfull as the iphone, as it is not as knew and revolutionary.
Do you know where I can watch ipad hd movies online?
