iPad 2 + Smart Cover = Refrigerator Magnet?

[QuarterSwede]

Recommend trying that with a Stainless Steel refrigerator.

It'll work on the side no problems. Other than looks stainless steel appliances aren't that great. Talk about a pain to clean.

I can hear the commercial now:


"Why your refrigerator, won't be a refrigerator anymore."

Not sure if I would try, but made me laugh ...

Oh, cool. Great use - maybe keep recipes on there?

Like a recipe for disaster!!!

Funniest post all day.

Interactive fridge

Totally reminded me of one of those interactive fridges. Here's an LG:

Lmao

I love it. Will it work in the bathroom too on a steel radiator. If so i can watch movies in the bath

It's white, let it crash and burn.

Could be an excellent way to sell more refrigerators?

Omg I am dying!! Lol!! Too funny! On a side note, gizmodo is reporting that a wifi ipad2 tethered to an iPhone uses the iPhones a-gps chip. That's great news for those who have iPhones and don't want to shell out $130 for the 3G version

Just tried on mine. It didn't work at all. Maps said location can not be determined on the iPad. IPhone zeroed right in.

And when it falls and shatters, it's Apple's fault, right? So just go for it!

i tried it...it was scary but it worked...im gonna take it down now haha

 

[jake4ever]

Ha. Ha. Ha.

It's obvious this is like the movies. The padded cushion is on the floor.

Actually there's an iTrampoline, if it falls it just bounces back up and sticks on again.

Generally, I like to keep magnets FAR AWAY from my electronic devices, especially those with a screen.

Of course, ipad 2 has been designed to be used with special magnets in specific places. But I'd be concerned to keep all other magnets away from the ipad.

Being as the iPad has no hard drive or CRT monitor I see no problem in having magnets around it. LCDs are not bothered by magnets.

"coolest" thing I have every seen.

Meanwhile...

Class action lawyers are tripping over themselves to file suit which will probably go something like this:

"Hanging an iPad from a refrigerator by a magnetic cover is an obvious use of this device. However, Apple has placed children and dogs at great risk due to their defective design"

 

[ugp]

I am not going to even try this. Oh hell no!

 

[drale]

Tried this and it works! My heart was racing pretty fast the whole time though...

Happy to hear that side note, need to find the article on that great news. Just hope that Apple doesn't close that up with iOS 4.4 or in the iPad 3...

Here is hoping that the iPhone 5 does some fun things with magnets...

I see what you did there!

Clearly a fake. Anyone with half a brain, a decent monitor, and 20,000X magnification can see that the scale of the handle clearly doesn't match with the scale of the door. The screw sets don't even match! I have the same Frigidaire FS2053 Model and it's not even close. I'm so tired of these preschool mock-ups. Pay attention people!!!

OMG, this is the best thread in months.

For a minute I thought I was reading 4Chan or SomethingAwful...

 

[spillproof]

I'm nervous for that iPad.


lol @ CSI:Miami strip.

 

[striatedglutes]

Itt: I'm freaking out man

On a serious note, I was pretty impressed with the magnet strength when I played with a cover in the store. I'm sure it'd be fine temporarily while cooking.
