Stephen Fry unboxes his iPad

by Dave Caolo Mar 31st 2010 at 11:15PM

Actor/comedian Stephen Fry has published a brief but oh-so-tantalizing iPad unboxing video. Above you'll see Stephen open the Apple-branded case, the iPad itself (complete with a dramatic and thoroughly warranted wooshing sound), the 10W adapter and keyboard dock.

He also grabbed the non-keyboard dock. Yes, it's brief but it gives us a nice idea of what the packaging is like (the iPad's box is thicker than I imagined) and, frankly, the sheer joy of opening such a snazzy toy.

He's begun playing, too, and is sharing his experience via Twitter. So far, he's called the Gray Wolfram Periodic table "gorgeous" and "alone worth iPad," and posted a screenshot of Scrabble. Thanks for sharing, Stephen, and keep those tweets coming!

Loved the piece in Time. I spent last night preparing a proper Hitchhiker's Guide logo for when I order the case for mine.

stephen fry's great

and as to why he has one early... perhaps writing a piece about the ipad for time magazine might have something to do with it

I'm not complaining, but it's more of an un-bagging than an unboxing.

Wait how did he get one before they were released, and with all the accessories?
