This is brilliant, millions of people use these everyday of their lives and if you put a little thinking into it, you can get even more out of it, lets take a look.

What do you get when you combine the iPad with two strips of Velcro?

Seemingly it creates the killer ultimate device; a Northern California filmmaker has come up with various ideas with using  just two strips of Velcro and your iPad, this could mean the ability to ditch the majority of electronics in your home … within reason.

Pop it on the dashboard, and it becomes an easily navigable GPS or a movie player for bored kids; throw it up on the wall, and it’s suddenly a chic digital photo frame, spewing out images of you and your sweetie. (very nice!)

Attach it to the kitchen wall, and follow along as Jamie Oliver sears a pan full of fish steaks.

The ability to mount it on a wall means a mobile TV, wall-mounted cook book instruction player, a laptop for web surfing … the possibilities really do seem limitless.

You heard it here first though.

Ah… the question on everybody’s mind is Can it Blend?

Well, yes but it can only be blended, it’s been tried.

It’s not the replace-all device for every electronic do-dad, but the Velcro certainly makes it handier as it does what it was built to do.

If you sit down and think about it, how many of your electronics, books and other things could you ditch with the iPad?

Unfortunately, probably not much at this point.

The device is an addition-to gadget, rather than an instead-of gadget for the majority of users.

But hopefully one day we can use it to replace a pile of other devices from laptops and remote controls, to books and alarm clocks.

not bad! magic
