Can't wait for pics of an 'iPad killer'
Scale model of the iPad
(Credit: Newlaunches)So maybe you think living in a building inspired by a certain ubiquitous digital audio player--or, let's be real, ANY sort of gadget--sounds silly. We don't blame you.
But check out the new pics of the iPad anyway--they're actually kind of fantastic.
The budget for the 23-story Dubai apartment/office building, announced last week, is $800 million (or 3 billion Dirhams), and developers plan to open the iPad's doors in 2009.
And, yes, that is a "docking station" the building will be resting on at an alarmingly accurate 6-degree angle.
