Goldmember's iPad

OK, I'll admit it: the primary reason for showing this video here is the accent. It is without a doubt my favourite accent ever. Those of you who know me have heard me do the Dutch accent countless times. It just so happens that the product shown is really nice as well. These guys clearly got to work really fast after the iPad 2 announcement. Assuming I actually broke down and went for an iPad 2, I would give this little accessory a long, hard look. The company behind it is Miniot. Geweldig.

The best camera is the one you have with you...

I had previously posted a story about Kickstarter and how it acts as a funding platform for creative projects. Here is a new one. The saying goes that the best camera you own is the one you have with you when you need to take a picture. For iPhone 4 users there now is a new way to carry your phone around: as a camera. The video explains it best and details are available on the Kickstarter website. Still about one month to go to get in on this one so if taking pictures on your iPhone 4 is your "thing", go for it.

Children of Men

Take a couple of 2 year olds, give them each an iPad and let them play around with it. Before you know it you realise two things (1) Apple owns these kids for life and (2) when this current crop of 2 year olds grow up I am not sure we will even be able to communicate with them anymore given our old-fashioned ways of doing things, out thinking, our language and whatever else is bound to change over time as they grow up and acquire skills we can't even start to predict. Check out these two videos and let your imagination roam a little. You'll understand what I mean.

I Want My iPad MTV

You knew it was only a matter of time (and very little of it) before someone produced a music video using only iPads. Remedy Films apparently produced this clip in 25 hours: 8 hours in line to purchase the four iPads, 5 hours of filming and 12 hours of editing (they shot the whole thing on iPads but I have a feeling they used pro editing software after that). The result is not bad at all considering the limitations of the equipment. Chances are we will see a lot more of these homegrown projects as people start getting the hang of the hardware and more video-specific iPad software gets published. Should be interesting.

The iPad scoop we somehow missed

A few weeks before the actual release of the iPad 2 these Scandinavian guys seem to have gotten their hands on a top secret prototype model. This is actually a very cute video with a lot of cool masking effects to achieve the desired result.

The iPad 2 promo they will never show you

Those of you who have seen the new iPad 2 promo video will immediately recognize where this spoof gets it from. Funny stuff.
