The good thing about this design is the fact the camera is implemented into a corner, so you can use the iPad in either landscape or portrait mode. The case is made of a rubber material. There is also a port on the bottom to be able to re-charge the iPad without taking it out of the case.

I must say, I’m impressed at how things look like. The way multitasking works just works for me. Apple needs to take a look at this video and quickly implement these features in the iPad firmware. People would be very happy with it. What do you think about this concept?

He designed an iPad DJ concept (see photos below). A decent table top cd/dvd player will easily cost $1,500 and you need two of them. You also need a mixer which can cost as much as $500 to $1000. If you want video support by the way, you’ll need another thousand dollars. So all in all, you need $4000-$5000 for a DJ console set.

What about the costs for an iPad? You actually only need the Wi-Fi-only version with 16GB flash memory, so that will cost you $499. The iPad has probably enough horse power to simulate a DJ console. Ofcourse you’ll need two and you also need an iPhone or iPod touch. Let’s say you buy the 8GB iPod touch. That’ll cost you $199.

All in all, you only need around $1200. On top of that you’ll probably need some accessories and the software as well. Even if the software sells for a couple hundred dollars you still need a lot less money, probably somewhere near the $2000.

So, you go to a party with a backpack and you take out two iPads and an iPod touch, start the application and you’re ready to go.

Steve Jobs ones said “Good artists copy, great artists steal”. And since there are more companies working on a tablet device, like Microsoft with the ‘Courier’, Apple definitively watches those companies very closely. Maybe they want to take a look at the video provided in the post below. The video shows a concept of how the Apple Tablet might look like.

“This conceptual video is a corporate collaborative research project initiated by Bonnier R&D into the experience of reading magazines on handheld digital devices. It illustrates one possible vision for digital magazines in the near future, presented by our design partners at BERG.”

Watch the nice looking video below:

“Condé’s plan, meanwhile, is to create digital versions of its magazines that will work on all the upcoming tablets, using new software from Adobe (ADBE). Those tablets aren’t actually on the market yet, but the publisher says it’s confident that we’’ll soon see multiple versions of machines featuring large color touchscreens and wireless connections.”

The company says they have no knowledge about the Apple Tablet, but they are expecting Apple to launch such a device soon. Earlier reports also said The New York Times is approached by Apple to start working on producing content for the device.

The device can be carried as a booklet. When it is opened, you face two 7-inch touchscreens. You control the device with touch but also a pen (that might sound bad, but judging the video it works very smooth). It is a very different design than Microsoft’s previous Tablet PC’s that worked on XP and Vista.

 “Until recently, it was a skunkworks project deep inside Microsoft, only known to the few engineers and executives working on it—Microsoft’s brightest, like Entertainment & Devices tech chief and user-experience wizard J. Allard, who’s spearheading the project. Currently, Courier appears to be at a stage where Microsoft is developing the user experience and showing design concepts to outside agencies.”

Further information revels the device will include Wi-Fi capabilities, an iPhone-like home button, a camera, and perhaps an inductive charging pad like the Touchstone available for the Palm Pre.

Can this beat Apple? I must say it looks very very good. If the price is affordable and if the device will be available soon, would you pick this one up instead of the (still rumored) Apple tablet computer? Let me know what you think.
