Apple's interactive iPad displays -- a video of one in action

Are there iPad 2's next to the iPad 2 displays to that show of their features??

Here's a better video in HD, showing iPhone prices are calculated:

Apple stores - ya gotta love 'em! Any weekday mid-morning in the mall you'll find it - just look for the people. And now most of those people will get an informal introduction to an iPad even if they are there to check out a Mac Pro. There's method to Apple's madness!

WOW.. apple makes it better than first generation

Extra information is nice...but I agree the real goal is to have more shoppers touch and USE the iPads. Familiarity!

Well, I for one thought they were pretty useful. My wife was shopping for a new mac and while she worked the keyboard and mouse on a new Mac mini, she had me reading off specs and such on the iPad. And I could give her updates as we watched the queue tick down on the "Call Assistant" feature.

That it serves the additional purpose of providing interaction with and advertising for their mobile platforms makes the idea all the better.

They were having some issues this morning according to the guy that eventually came to us. Sunday is their busiest day and today was there first go with the system. According to our assistant, they were still having issues figuring out which iPad/computer station the request had come from.

Overall, seems like a pretty good idea to me - like the old flipbook things with specs and such attached below computers and printers at the big box stores sometime back only more functional AND able to summon help when you need it.

Do you think they have battery? Maybe firmware is not the only mod since battery is useless in a "always plugged" context...

Is there one you tell that The Beatles are on iTunes?

iPad are by their very nature interactive.

This Apple Store 2.0 business is laughable. There are so many media whores out their pimping this non-story it's sickening.

Actually, I just realized this video doesn't show the whole thing. All of those icons around the product pictures on the screen can be tapped to bring up info about each specific feature. Like, you can tap the Thunderbolt icon for more info on Thunderbolt, and you can tap the LED icon for more info about the available screens, etc.
