Another working iPad arcade cabinet



What started out as an April Fool's Day joke has spawned an actual product...sort of. Much like the infamous Tauntaun Sleeping Bag, people were inspired by Think Geek's gorgeous vintage arcade-style cabinet for the iPad. Who wouldn't be?

This working unit -- albeit kind of rough -- was made by the folks at Freekade. They make built-to-order arcade cabinets, as you might have guessed. With the old-school controls connected to this iPad, it looks like a little piece of nostalgic heaven. I get to play the winner!

Nice. It's great to see what people can do with things like this - it was like a couple of weeks ago when someone modified an iBook by placing an iPad where the screen would be - kinda cool :)
