Intuitive use of pencils on the cheap, and it looks neat too!

Probably could get a patent on this. All it takes is money.

Don't do it, if your caught by the apple police, they'll sue you for using the illegal version on the imount for ipad

still cool though, could always use a book if needed.

They would have to obscure the actual device (it would never pass the obviousness test in a million years) with a bunch of mumbo jumbo about the electronics it could hold and how it could hold them. It is sadly possible to slip stuff through that way...

TABLETS: Soooo versatile!

 

[zubai]

wow.. meh..

 

[ksampanna]

Wow dude! That's creativity.
Apple does the same thing with metal rods, puts a fruit on it, & sells it for $50

I see that if it's sharpened, it may make for an antitheft feature

3 sided pyramid? I count 4. Is a 3 dimensional 3 sided pyramid even possible?

Why not just glue some eraser caps to a few dowel rods and use twine rather than rubber bands which will dry rot.

Or buy a netbook instead. Ta-da! You now have a device more capable than a iPad will ever be.

Well said

 

[bebangs]

you're still holding it wrong... ^_^

Who said anything about capability? You get an iPad because what little it does do it does well (either that or you just wanted one for no reason and had the money to spare). I can't really say that much for most netbooks since they don't do well enough at anything they can do; I'd rather just have a full laptop. I have just as little reason to buy either.
Well, except for the iPad does have some nice apps, and it makes an absolutely spectacular digital picture frame. Netbooks are a dying fad, anyway; they're just dumbed-down, disposable mini-laptops. I think Apple made the right call on this one, specialized-function tablets are going to stick around for a while, especially once Android starts seeing some deployment in this arena. Trying to type or use a track pad on a netbook is infuriating because they're far too small; might as well not have either and go for a touchscreen with a flexible on-screen keyboard layout that only needs to display fewer keys at a time.

Good catch. LOL

BTW, how about just not sharpen the end instead of trying to figure out how not to poke oneself?

 

[rollerdisco]

the sharpened pencils give it that aerodynamic, futuristic look!! wooo awwww eeeeyyyy
