      As there's no multi-tasking on the iPhone you couldn't text whilst driving on it.

      I guess this is just a joke. Nobody would ruin a perfectly good iPad by attaching a car to it.

    Yeah, much like chicken race is safer in a modern car than on a motorcycle or russian roulette is safer with one bullet than with five.

    You're not allowed to install any device that interferes with the deployment of the air bag.

    Also not allowed to have a video screen less than a certain distance from the driver.

    Also not allowed to display movies, etc., on any screen visible to the driver.

    We have sane laws up here. Of course, the video I want to see is of his face as the airbag launches the iPad into it at 200 mph.

    So after the lawsuits ("Apple is responsible - there was no warning not to attach it to the steering wheel") you'll have t prove you're more intelligent than a pet rock to buy one - and that should kill 90% of the iPad market.

    You don't really need to look at the speedometer if you have a car with a manual transmission. Listen to the engine and keep track of what gear you are using.

    No need for a fuel gauge either. You should know how much gas you have put into the tank, how much you car uses and how long you have traveled.

    I hate these kinds of posts. I can never tell if they're serious or insane.

    ...And if you can't keep track of all these things in your head, you could probably get an iPad application to do it for you!
