Great Accessory Idea for the iPad

Inspired by the MacView tablet concept, CultofMac has suggested a great accessory idea for the iPad.

The concept by Patrycjusz Brzezinski called the MacView features two touch screens in a slider design. In one of the many renderings for the device, Brzezinski shows a docking station which looks similar to the bottom of an iMac.

CultofMac believes this concept would work great for the iPad, and we agree. Using a Bluetooth keyboard the iPad could act as a touch enabled mini iMac. If you need to go somewhere, simply undock the iPad, put it in your bag, and away you go. Definitely would look better than the keyboard dock.

Well the idea of a Tablet PC is alot different than the idea of a iPad. Tablet PC's are more functional. iPad is just a $500 Book/iPod Touch

I don't think that it would be better thant the keyboard dock.. because, if you can't use a mouse with iPad (OS don't support it of course) there's no explanation to use that dock that looks like iMac (but it is beautiful) ! It would be usefull if iPad run MacOS instead of iPhoneOS...

Well hopefully a jailbreak will be found quickly thus enabling mouse support via BTstack. :)

Yeah, a bad move on their part to only put the doc adaptor so it can only be stood up one way...lame...what is the point of making a rotating device if you limit its docking to one side? It doesn't cost that much to splice another adaptor on the thing.

I agree apple not putting a second connector for landscape is lame. I do however love the dock above. Could have cam or media slots on it.

Wanna know another great idea they had? Check out what OS it has on the screen.... Do that then talk to me.

Haha, I didn't notice that at first.. I agree though, make it run on snow leopard OS. Maybe after they do that, the dock will be worth buying. Maybe next year they will realize what a stupid product they pushed out and finally make a proper tablet.. Hell maybe they can even give it a proper name, "iTab" anyone?
