CrystalRoc’s crystallized iPadAs luxury goes, crystallized gadgets are very popular today, binged phones are really shinning. As far as Apple productions are renowned for their beautiful design and nice hand feeling, some people just don’t think that’s enough, they want them to be more shinning! And what can we say, they’ve got the money…Well, besides those luxury iPhones, let’s check out this stunning iPad today!

Like it or not, but there is still a wealthy strata of the society who craves bling like anything, and before you dare to call them tasteless, the list of celebrities who like to flaunt it out includes Stefano Gabbana, co-founders of Dolce and Gabbana, who reportedly buys gold-plated iPhones, rapper and producer Pharrell Williams, to name a few. So, after the diamond iPad from Mervis Diamond Importers, the next blinged iPad comes from CrystalRoc, studded with over 6000 individual Swarovski crystals. Their Swarovski version will go on sale sometime late April. This CrystalRoc’s crystallized iPad really fans the blinged gadgets craze further! And I’m just asking, which one Steve Jobs will prefer?

OK, this is it, stunning, shinning, perfect way to show your wealthy…

iPad FujitsuThe whole world is crazy about the “Apple iPad” since Wednesday, and we’ve long known the Apple names as “i-ish”, and we do think that “iPad” is quite perfect for the new Apple tablet. However there’s someone obviously don’t think so! If you say “iPad” to Fujitsu PR director Masahiro Yamane, he doesn’t think about Apple at all. No, the one thing that comes to mind is Fujitsu’s Windows CE-based iPad, from 2002. And soon, there come lawyers, lots of lawyers.

 

This isn’t the first time Apple’s appropriated a name that existed before, but this time the story might not play out like it has in the past. Here’s the whole story according to the NYT:

Fujitsu’s application to trademark the iPad name stalled because of an earlier filing by Mag-Tech, an information technology security company based Seal Beach, California, for a handheld number-encrypting device. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office listed Fujitsu’s application as abandoned in early 2009, but the company revived its application in June. The following month, Apple used a proxy to apply for an international trademark for the iPad. It has since filed a string of requests with the U.S. Patent Office for more time to oppose Fujitsu’s application. Apple has until Feb. 28 to say whether it will oppose Fujitsu’s claims to the iPad name.

 

This looks isn’t quite as clear cut as Apple marching in and snatching a name from someone, so instead of just paying Fujitsu off, there stands a good chance that Apple will actually fight this, and this might not end well for Fujitsu! Well, we just want that cute amazing device and let’s just wait and see what happens!
