When Techies Meet Snowboarders: An iPad Embedded in a Snowboard
Now that snowboarding season is in high swing, there is a product that seems pretty cool in theory, if not in execution. Every Third Thursday (ETT) take fan suggestions and try building cool shit. I tried taking suggestions for building items once, but it turns out birds cannot get inside a square box with no holes. Alternatively, my sandwich is now trapped inside said box and is rotting away. Shortly after Steve Jobs died, ETT set out to embed an iPad into a snowboard, so when you’re whipping down a hill at 50 km/h, you can check your GPS to see exactly where you are on the hill (/end sarcasm).
You can watch a video of the making of the snowboard, and see them test it. They play the Black Keys though, so at least they have good taste in music. Of course, the name for this one-off product is the iShred.
