Introducing OmniPad

Physical iPad mock-ups

We are all very excited about Apple's upcoming iPad. So much so that we couldn't wait for actual production units to start testing our applications. In typical Omni fashion, a couple of engineers decided to make their own OmniPads.

Kevin Steele created the OmniPad Doc Holder and the OmniPad Whiteboard. (shown above)

Features:

• Unibody Construction

• Gorgeous Duct Tape Housing

• Dry Erase Interface (OmniPad Whiteboard)

• Accepts most standard paper sizes (OmniPad Doc Holder)

• Powered by imagination

    I'd like to create multimedia ebooks for the iPad with text, video, images and 360° panorama pictures. Which Apps do I need?

    if your are serious about selling 'omnipads' you will have to make them out of white chocolate, not duct tape. although i suppose you can market a special 'red green show edition' at the apple store.

    Ahg! When I saw the title of the blog post I got so excited! Right away I thought that Omni was making a beautiful Mac-iPhone-iPad note-keeping software (like Yojimbo married with the beauty that is OmniFocus on the iPhone, synced to all three platforms). Shows you how much I'm wishing for an app like that…

    Hey!  How much did those cost?!  I've been wanting one for myself.  Cardboard is just so 20th-century!

    Dammit.  I thought these were the Print To 3D plastic ones.  Then I clicked through to Flickr and saw they were cardboard.  Bah.
