http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2010/01/500x_aipad.jpg (http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2010/01/aipad.png)As if there weren't enough iPad jokes already (http://i.gizmodo.com/5458497/lets-get-the-ipad-jokes-out-of-our-systems-cause-steve-doesnt-care), it turns out that there's a Japanese product—a high-tech adult diaper—called the Aipad. You can guess the pronunciation by the fact that I'm even writing about this.
The Aipad has apparently been around for a while and has "2 lines of aluminium [which] can be connected by clip with a small sensor unit. When the diaper soaked, the sensor notifies it via radio waves." Basically it lets people or their caretakers know when it's time for a diaper change.
Oh, and according to Jason, "ai" means "love" in Japanese. I don't know if that's supposed to be some sort of comfort or not. [Aipad (http://www.awaji-tec.com/aipad06/aipad.pdf)—Warning: PDF via Asiajin (http://asiajin.com/blog/2010/01/30/japan-has-ipadaipad-its-hi-tech-adult-diaper/)]
