Get ready for some buyer's remorse if you're one of the thousands who pre-ordered an iPad (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/ipad-pre-order-is-go-will-you-buy-one/) last Friday: your soon-to-be new toy already pales in comparison to the $19,999 diamond-coated iPad from Mervis Diamond Importers. What you have here is a stock unit of undisclosed specifications that's been coated with 11.43 carats of G/H color diamonds rated VS2/SI1 for clarity -- not exactly top-shelf stuff but chances are you'll be so transfixed with the amazingly beautiful user experience you won't notice the flaws. This poor iPad is just the latest in a long line of ridiculously expensive gadgets made more luxurious (many of an Apple (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/27/iphone-3gs-supreme-is-diamond-encrusted-spectacularly-expensive/) persuasion (http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/10/deos-offers-up-60-000-diamond-encrusted-ipod-earphone-covers/)) and is every bit as tasteless as the rest.World's first diamond iPad tries to deliver that magical experience (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/worlds-first-diamond-ipad-tries-to-deliver-that-magical-experie/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Mon, 15 Mar 2010 07:08:00 EST.
