back to article Apple's iPad - 'Will It Blend?'

Apple's iPad, released Saturday, has been scrutinized by hundreds of reviewers, disassembled by iFixIt and others, and fiscally analyzed by Wall Street, but it wasn't until Monday that the most pressing question about the "magical and revolutionary" device was answered. That question, of course, is: Will it blend? 'Will It …

    a waste of money, but....

    OK it blends. A fitting end to the ipad and most other consumer gadgets. (except for the ones that I use of course :) )

    Paris cos she likes to blend - from what I've heard!

      WTF?

      Don't think its a waste

      Over 1 million views of an ad that isn't forced on you (like in a TV show) for a mere $499.... Sounds like great value. Can't get that kinda value from any ad company I know of.

    Love that site.

    I was impressed with the fact you could see the keyboard through the cracked and bent screen

    Will it sell

    is the more important question..

    It shouldn't, but there are far too many retards around that will buy anything if it's got white plastic and an i in the title...

      RE: WIll it sell

      You mean "M'I'crosoft products", like "W'I'ndows" and "Off'I'ce?

        Re: W'I'ndows

    I knew there was a use for the iPad!

    Every tech disaster has a silver lining.

    Great

    Somehow that site never gets old, and I had my fingers crossed they would do an iPad.

    A much more entertaining and scientific approach

    that the video that emerged over the weekend of a bunch of youths assailing their iPad with a baseball bat and their feet. Didn't seem to work too well afterwards, mind you

    Twice as strong as the previous model

    Hmm, good decision Tom....http://www.blendtec.com/willitblend/videos.aspx?type=unsafe&video=ipad shows twice the durability, twice the brandability as their previous model.

    Now with more smoke too !!!!

    Cheating ...

    if you have to bend it first, which also pre-weakens(TM) it. Where's the Wide Mouth Blendtec model?

    Not sure I'd buy a food preparation appliance from a company that is shredding heavy metals on their premises.

    More importantly

    I think that Blendtec should patent the folding iPad!

    It's a cracking idea.

    Hm...

    Shouldn't the guy be using a mask or something when blending electronics? I mean, there's nasty stuff in there, heavy metals and all, and I bet some of it is flying in that dust that comes out...

    Phoney baloney

    It's easy to spot the cutaway after the initial try at breaking the iPad in two. Chances are they just blended the screen or its plastic cover. It would have been easy to rip off the plastic once the unit's frame was bent enough.

    Yes.

    Will it Wi-fi?

    No.

    No it won't

    At least not without partial disassembly to remove the bits that don't. This kind of cheating means I won't be rushing out to buy a Blendtec for all my iPad blending needs. How many years of evolution has it taken to get to this?
