From the Late Show's twitter feed:

Dave has the Apple iPad! Watch Dave's product demonstration and get a preview of tonight's iPad-inspired Top Ten list: http://bit.ly/chsuQt

Story from Variety on it:
First, all the frenzy on Modern Family's iPad-themed episode... now on tonight's "Late Show with David Letterman," iPad gets some serious airtime as well.

Wow. If you're Apple, why buy advertising time? You're getting millions of dollars of free promotion this week! (Even if, as you see in this clip, Dave touts the amount of radiation burning off it.)

Above, Dave marvels at the new gadget -- and brags that he got one before that tech-savvy "little Jimmy Fallon" did.

And here's the kicker: In the case of "Late Show," not only is this not product placement... Apple didn't even loan this iPad out to Letterman. A spokesman said the show borrowed this iPad from someone who has a review copy. (That someone is going to be mighty pleased to see Dave licking the screen.)

The iPad has actually been making the rounds for months; Stephen Colbert whipped out one at the Grammy Awards in January, you might recall.

And by the way, considering the amount of ink all of us journos have spilled on the iPad today... we're awaiting a nice package in the mail, Mr. Jobs.

That was freaking hilarious... esp when he starts shaking it and hitting when it turns off, haah.
 
I especially think it's funny how the link provided is a Flash video.
 
Updated the OP.

Turns out Apple didn't loan the iPad to Letterman. They got the iPad from someone with a review copy.
 
He mutilated it on the air :eek:
He licked it, hit it then "chunked" it on his desk.
He had no idea, nor did he care, what to do with it :p

That makes sense . . . I doubt seriously that Apple would give David Letterman a preview iPad :rolleyes:

That was Andy Ihnatko's review iPad. He said last night he was going to New York today because his iPad was going to used in a top 10 on a show.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if that was Andy Ihnatko's review iPad. He mentioned that he was going up for the top 10 list last night on twit.tv.
 
Whatever, he was such a time wasting douche! Them other dudes get bumped cause he made an ass of himself trying to work the iPad. I had to watch because MJ's post here, but what dork.

Reliable source?
I would think there were some sort of Apple Strings attached to those preview iPads . . . don't you think?
 
how.. could.. dave do.. such a thing... nooooooo.. if you're gonna thrash it, at least give it to the needy or somethingg

its rather amusing though seeing how he is surprised when the thing "turns on and off by itself" when he's actually hitting the power button. lol
