Stephen Colbert and his iPad at the Grammys

It must be nice to be the host of your own popular Comedy Central show and a host on the Grammy Awards. Why? You get to play with an iPad.

No, it's not one of Tim Meehan's faux iPads - this was a working unit that flipped from portrait to landscape mode when Stephen Colbert pulled it out of his jacket... or pants. Enjoy this short piece of video from tonight's Grammy Award ceremonies.

Really clever pulling it out of your pants. XD

But seriously, I've heard the Ipad was stolen from a piece of japanese hardware. It manages to be worse than the Ipad.

If the 3G wasn't working (thereby using governed spectrum) then he would not need to have it FCC certified

How he was able to have and run one in public if FCC didn't approve it yet?

At this point, I don't understand American's laws...

Great bit of marketing but trust me the Apple guy will have taken it off Mr Colbert once he's off stage and put it back in it's strongbox. Yeah and like someone said try doing that with a netbook lol. Note to Apple send one, no two iPad's to Jay-z and his wife Beyonce. As long as it doesn't turn up in rap videos, then I'll be happy!!

I want my iPad now!!!

Why wouldn't they let him keep it? It's not like it's a secret or anything.

I looked at this story on my iPad and I can't see what all the fuss is about.

Can you believe I actually dreamed of having one last night? My reason was because it was better for surfing Internet. lol

It's also weird because I'm not planning on buying one. haha
