As you can see from the above YouTube video, some people like Wei, a LifeHacker reader, are just too smart and too impatient to wait around for Apple to come out with a tablet device of it's own, so he just went ahead and built one for himself, which he calls - the iTab.
How did Wei do it? Simple: he simply married a MacBook with that of a mid-level Intuos Graphic Tablet and the results, as you can see, are really impressive indeed. Of course, what's really impressive, to me, is all of the details and hard work that he put into it, as he illustrates here, if your so inclined to try it yourself.
Yes sir, as impressive as the iTab is, it's not the type of thing that you would ever see a dummy like myself ever contemplating, let alone actually attempting to build. This is not only because I lack the smarts of a guy like Wei, but even more so - the patience!
However, if you have the patience, the smarts and the money, well, you can also attempt to build you own iTab using Wei's extensive instructions above, but being the lazy bloke that I am, I think that I will just wait for Apple to come out with it's own tablet, as some are expecting it will eventually do. In the meantime, however, I can easily understand why one YouTube person commented, " Hey dude, are you serious, this is awesome man! Your brilliant ! Put it it into business! You gonna be Jobs the second~!"
Well, I don't know about being Job's the second, but Wei is definitely one smart dude who did a really brilliant and professional looking job on this thing. My hats off to him and all of the other genius's out there who are capable of doing such amazing transformations. Nice job Wei and way to go!
And that's my 2 cents 4 this Monday, May 25, 2009
