Crazy About iPad

While perusing the Apple site the day after the official announcement, we noticed that the accessory options for the iPad were limited to only a charging dock, what seems to be a Bluetooth keyboard, and a plain, black leather case. Of course, the usual case makers started announcing their multi-colored coverings. For shame, we thought. Such an industry-shaking product deserves more than just a measly line-up of pre-release accessories. 

We decided that instead of staring at an empty page at Apple.com, we’d put our brains together and conjure up some of our own ideas of incredibly useful add-ons for the iPad. We figure that with these particular add-ons, the iPad won't be referred to as an oversize iPod touch. After all, it's much more difficult to watch an iPod touch at arm's length.

Honestly, how the heck are you supposed to hold that thing without fearing that it will fall out of your hands and suffer a terrible fate? We figure, if there’s some sort of contraption that allows you to comfortably strap the iPad to your palm, it’ll be easier to draw on screen and direct some of the most amazing iWork presentations anyone has ever seen. You’ll become the envy of your coworkers, despite how ludicrous all that cloth and Velcro look wrapped around your hand. Actually, now that we think of it, it kind of reminds us of those Velcro ball and catch games.

Calling all artists! Are you sick and tired of lugging around your ancient, and analog, sketchbooks and pencils? Does your back need a break from that ultra-heavy bag you’ve been carrying around your art school campus? The iPad will give both your back and your bank account a break--after you drop a minimum of $500 for it, that is. We envision a painting app that works with a plethora of capacitive touch paint brushes. Van Gogh painted outside, thanks to the iPad, you can too. Just keep any blades you own away from your ears.
