This is the Syte Shirt, basically a plain shirt with a pocket and window up front that’ll let you ‘wear’ your iPad on your chest and display whatever’s on the screen to whoever’s in front of you. Features include hidden port holes on the inside for connecting the headphones and charger (which sounds like a bad idea considering that there’s a possibility of this happening), and a vinyl screen that’ll still let you move around the screen.
While hundreds of clock-docks currently exist for Apple’s different iPhones and iPods, iHome just launched one of the first to support the iPad with the iA100.

The Macintosh Classic was first introduced back in 1990, so we’re pretty sure that if you had one then, there’s a good chance that a) it’s not working anymore and b) it’s gathering dust in your attic. Here’s something interesting you can do with that old hunk of sentimental junk: take out the guts, cut a hole along one side, and slip in your iPad. Awesome. Of course, this totally eliminates the iPad’s portability, but for using apps that don’t really need much intervention (playing movies, photo slideshows), this’ll do nicely.
First of all, the device—basically a frame that holds an iPad in place along with a couple of sound synthesizers—is a pretty cool concept if you’re into looping or creating electronic, um, sounds using iPad apps. Called the Mantaray iTar, it’s being peddled (through this video) by VJ Franz K. But that’s as far as we’ll get into it. You have to see the video for yourselves if you want to check out what exactly it does. It’s a bit long at 9-and-a-half minutes, but it’s around 480 of the most entertaining seconds of your life—if you consider weird sales pitches entertaining.
Jump to around 3:50 to hear a sentence that you never expected to hear in your life. See, punk isn’t dead. Apparently, it just evolved into… well, whatever this is. Also, we miss Apple Girl. She was awesome.
