http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2010/01/500x_ipad-wall.jpgIf only Apple had recreated its app wall from WWDC last year (http://gizmodo.com/5287196/apples-wwdc-iphone-app-wall-gets-the-full-photosynth-treatment), but with iPads! The 300 iPads used in this concept wall from Austraian architects would cost $149,700 if it was real. Apple could've afforded it (http://gizmodo.com/5456612/apples-blockbuster-quarter-includes-87-million-iphones-and-21-million-ipods-sold), I'm sure.
ClarkeHopkinsClarke (http://melbournearchitects.blogspot.com/), the Aussie architects who mocked up the above concept wall, believe it'd be the perfect installation for a library, with hundreds of different ebooks displayed. But that's not the end of this story—due to the size and weight of the iPad, we could be seeing a lot of innovative uses for them, as interactive wallpaper in clubs, teaching aides in schools, and so on. There's the small hurdle of cost, of course. [ClarkeHopkinsClarke (http://melbournearchitects.blogspot.com/) via TUAW (http://www.tuaw.com/2010/01/28/architects-imagine-a-wall-of-ipads/)]
