Michael Arrington over at TechCrunch has just given his perspective on the iPad having tested the device. His words, “It’s a nearly flawless device”.
The most fascinating part of the review – and forgive me if this a late April fools – were details of how far Apple went to ensure the device was not leaked to the press.
Get this:
“They’ve [developers] had to sign non-disclosure agreements, and have the iPad locked in a separate room that random employees couldn’t access. And even that wasn’t enough. The iPads are literally chained to the desk with steel cable and a lock. Apple comes by the office with a suitcase, installs the iPad in a bolted case, chains it to the desk and locks it there. And they they do occasional surprise visits just to make sure it’s still there.
