Whiteboard plus paint equals huge iPad at app agency

The above picture was taken in the offices of Appency, a PR firm that helps market and sell mobile apps, including iPhone and iPad apps. It's indeed a big iPad, though instead of a functioning touchscreen, the whole thing is actually a working whiteboard painted onto the wall. Founder Aaron Watkins tells TUAW that the studio moved into its new offices a couple of months ago, and decided to use a substance called IdeaPaint to literally paint a whiteboard on the wall.
Originally, they wanted to paint two whole walls with the stuff, but it's pretty pricey, so instead, design intern Lorin Estes had the idea to turn the whole thing into a giant (to scale, we're told) iPad. Pretty awesome -- though not quite as portable as the real thing.

Hm...is this iPad 3 leaked prototype? It suppose to be lighter and thinner, not vise versa...I wonder how do they manage to rotate the thing in port rate mode?

But! I have a wall in my office painted with ideapaint and its pretty much the coolest thing ever. It isn't painted to look like a Galaxy tab or whatever they were trying to paint in that picture.
"Appency"...sounds like an infection.

An App Agency called "Appency." WTF. I think I'll rename my sushi restaurant sushaurant.
Truly a news piece worthy of wasted web space and my time to dismiss it.

Oh wait, I get it now. They were confused with the Samsung tablet. Apple should use this in court.
