Boring day at work

turn the iPad on it's side lol, or are ya going for a desktop touchscreen ebook reader lol, looks pretty good

I like the first one in your link, of the larger tablet running OS X. That's more like what I was expecting of the iPad to be honest.

The mobile monitor with cloud computing is a sweet idea...

No OSX so large iPod Touch makes more sense.

I was thinking about stands for the iPad the other day. A really cool idea but probably not possible would be a magnetised stand and a magnetic back on the iPad so you can have a very clean connection between stand and iPad. Basically just stick the iPad on the end. This will allow for it to be rotated. The powerful magnets though may mess a few things up though?

Like what?

Though to get a magnet strong enough to hold the iPad you'd have to go for one of these

which comes with their own set of warnings and hazards

Hehe, I like the attached one, I can just imagine how ridiculous that would actually look

cool!

It looks cool but... magnetic? I don't think that aluminum is good for that, oh no and God knows what kind of effect a strong magnet would have on the device, Ufff!

I think that you would need something else to accomplish such a thing, some sort of case that you use to protect the IPad that had something to attach such a stand in the back, that's what I think. Besides, a protective case is much more needed for the IPad than for the IPhone from the stress testings I've seen on the IPad, almost mandatory.

Any manufacturer interested in building such a contraption? Belkin, Griffin perhaps? ja, ja, ja
