"iPad in iBook" stand merges past and present

When the iBook has a 12.1" TFT active-matrix display how does the builder fit the iPad into the shell with a snug fit like that?? I wanted to try and make one but i cant figure out the screen placement...

I was thinking about doing this with an old Apple eMate I have. This guy beat me to the punch. Kudos!

when i saw this on unplggd, i reconsidered selling my orange clamshell iBook on craigslist.

but poppas hungry.

Like the Macquariums people make, I love it.

Rather than doing this I'd just get a Mac Book. The iPad is not a notebook. I love it for it's extreme portability.

Why? iPad is meant to be stand-alone. That iPad is not happy trapped in archaic shell.

This is very clever. It looks a bit like a case I had my Hot Wheels® when I was a kid. This looks very viable to me as a case for the iPad - you've got a place for your keyboard and, with a carefully wired adapter snaked through the case, a place to add your sync cable and camera adapter (maybe he could build that into the case, too).

Set up production and you've got yourself a nice little case-making business.

...And yet the ipad comes in one color and the iPhone in two colors. I want my iBook flavors back!!!

Fun. and it's less likely to be jacked by any decent theft cause he'll think it's a crappy old bondi ibook and not an ipad.

yep. 10 hour battery life is such a burden. they could probably extend that if they underclocked the A4 to perform about the same as a G3@300-466 MHz.

you tube would be awesome.. almost 2 frames a minute!

we'll just pretend you're not actually WRONG.

12 in active-matrix TFT display, 800×600 pixel resolution

800x600 on a 12 inch screen.. MUCH better than 1024x768 on 10"

Oh, how I miss OS9...
