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

    I checked "Disable Advertising", why doesn't it carry over to the articles?

    In the event of an accident, the airbag will crush the iPad into your face.

    Although I did (finally) laugh when I read their cited patent.

    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.
