Loving Apple is like loving a Russian bride; exciting and visually
pleasing, yet painful and VERY expensive. This is a common feeling for me – not
about the bride – but the latest release from Apple, the iPad. Much like
the said bride and her obsession with toy dogs and stilettos I will of
course have to have one. Why? I am not sure... Until now.
Behold the greatest invention since, well, the iPod, The iCade. If there was any doubt that I was going to buy one, that is now out the
window, as when I spied this little baby I just simply had to have. This
is of course
ThinkGeek's
latest April fools joke, a bit like their great 'Screaming Knife' or
'My First Bacon', but the great thing is, if enough people like it, they
will build and sell it. And I just know that they will like it. And
they will build it. And I will have one.
So after seeing this, my mind is made up, I will buy one, but I now need
to find more cool iPad accessories to make my excessive consumerism
feel even better. I have compiled some of my favorites, some of the
obvious ones, and some plain boring. Enjoy Svetlana, enjoy.
PS. In case you were wondering, Apple sold over 300 thousand iPads in their first day, and users downloaded over one million apps and 250 thousand E-Books. That's over $150 million in first day sales using the low end model. Yep, here to stay BIG TIME.
