Make Your Own (Paper) iPad and iPad Sighting at NYC Starbucks

[Bubba Satori]

That is sooo precious. All it needs is a lttle statue of Steve and a votive candle to put next to it.
For Buddhists and Hindus, Apple has a $90 incense adaptor.

Hillarious, since that could actually work...

Or they can just flip their unibody MacBooks over and lay the incense on the bottom

I'm going to have a talk with my design team.

brb

we got a live one here

A4 is an international paper size, not US letter size. A4 is comparable to the German paper size, which is 8.3" x 11.7"

Actually said 8x11 which made it an even more insane statement. I tried to stoke the fires with this on page 3, but clearly we are the only paper dorks in the room

that twitpics Starbucks "sighting" looks like a much smaller device than the iPad.

How soon before Apple sues?

 

[rtdunham]

...I've used some apps i often wonder if they actually USED IT on a device because it doesn't flow at all....

speaking of things that don't flow at all, can anyone provide a scenario that would explain a designer approving the iPad's reported "wobble-back"?

I just don't get it. I can tolerate it, if i can find some--even remote--explanation. In the absence of that, it's infuriating.

Welcome to MacRumors, Steve... Do you have any "rumors" to share?

Actually I just saw Steve Jobs posting on a Windows 7 forum. Seemed like he was trying to steal some ideas.

I tried it, and it works like the real thing! Thanks! Now I don't need to spend any money!

The speaker is on the wrong side using the .png version. Looking on the Apple website the speaker is actually on the right but when you put the paper thing together its on the left. This is how you tell its a fake
Can anyone say pedantic

Hm... That fake keyboard dock pic got me thinking. I wonder what the function buttons on the keyboard will do?

A lot like brightness and volume are obvious, as well as media controls, but what about exposé, dashboard, and eject? Maybe the final keyboard won't have those keys marked, but we can always speculate.

We've known for a while.

I don't want to spam here with my links, but you can make a mini-steve.

Apple doesn't care about personal use, but Apple cares if you try to make a buck from it.

Someone tried to sell those things on ebay and it was removed promptly.

My paper/box iPad

Ironically, out of pure excitement, I made my own iPad (a little more realistic than the mac rumors paper one) the day it was announced. I took apple stock pictures of the top, bottom, sides, front, and back. Then I taped them to a box that is just about the same weight and size as a real iPad. I enjoy pretending to use it everyday as I wait to get a real iPad
Here's some pics of it:

It is pretty cool to get an actual feel for the size of the device.

It is smaller than I expected it would be, which makes its portability much better than I had anticipated.

Yeah I think he said

Windows 7... That's actually My idea

Windows 7 is like OS X cheetah or panther ..... ........Actually I'm lying, I'll be realistic, its more like puma

 

[Zwhaler]

Cool but... what's the point?

 

[appleguy123]

People say this will cause eye strain? I for one think that the backlight is almost Unnoticeable to the eyes.

In other news, leaked fourth gen iPhone seen next to Nexus One:

should have put 1 bar by att and a big old E next to that.

 

[marksman]

MacRumors is exactly the sort of website where readers get so excited about an upcoming product that they will print out paper mockups to see how it feels in hand. Unquestionably.

arn

I printed it out, and I am glad you ran this story. I know got a feel for the real size of the device, which will heavily impact my decision on getting one.

As you noted, it comes across as being smaller than I thought it would, which is actually very cool.

I am not sure how anyone could print that out and compare it to a netbook any longer. A total joke in comparions, given the nearly equal screen sizes, but the much more managable design, size and weight of the iPad, it is a no brainer.

 

[nalk7]

wow I handnt seen origami apple products since 2004 or something like that great to see theyre back

I'm going to have a talk with my design team.

I'd give a nickel to have the "verified", as for Twitter, for you Steve.

How's the new liver working out for you? I bet you're hitting the bottle pretty good about now.

that was just wrong

People complain about a lack of multitasking in the full iPad, but what's great is that with this, you can do an unboxing video and a teardown video at the same time.

 

[DoFoT9]
