Best thing is that if you duct tape it to your chest you can turn into Iron Man:

Do they really have to mimic the annoying iTunes commercials?

Really neat. I like the table-top unit.

It looks like the wall unit makes the iPad stick off the wall quite a bit.

Well... you need to get your fingering behind it to pry it off.

Ahh.. not sure how i feel about this solution !! I think it looks like crap on the wall like that.. more DIY type look.. the table top looks ok, but the case looks way to big !

I LOVE the concept but damn I hate the way the mount looks. It's so cheesy. There HAS to be a way to make it look better. Any ideas anyone? Can't there be some sort of rare earth magnet dock behind the wall (plastered over) that is so strong that it can hold the piece in place and use magnetic induction to charge it at the same time? That would probably be pretty pricey but maybe our clients could afford it.

Repeating myself.....the concept rocks. I just hate the look. There must be some kind of improvement. My test is always if I want one. Do I? Yes! If it wasn't so damn ugly. ;)
