iPad (of paper) available now

Critics have claimed that Apple’s new iPad is nothing more than a bigger iPod touch. But is that being a bit too generous? Let’s push that limited line of thinking even further and consider whether the iPad isn’t really, in fact, a much more expensive and heavier pad of paper. After all, can’t you read things written on a pad of paper? Can’t you play games on a pad of paper? Can’t you store information on a pad of paper? Exactly, so why not do so on a pad of paper that looks just like an iPad?

Netmeme has announced that its iPaperPad, which isn’t “magical or revolutionary,” is available for purchase on Amazon.

“iPaperPad is not new, it’s a paper pad,” said Netmeme CEO Peter. “It’s not that exciting, but it delivers much more bang for your buck than an iPad if all you want to do is impress people in coffee shops or at the workplace.”

the iPaperPad is a notepad which has the same size and look as an Apple iPad. The iPaperPad is slightly smaller than a standard notepad, providing a more “intimate” experience. Because of its smaller size, it is also lighter than a standard notepad. More importantly, it requires no batteries making it a perfect choice for airplane flights lasting over 10 hours.

iPaperPad’s un-revolutionary paper surface makes for a traditional experience. You can read and write mail on iPaperPad pages and glue photos onto the paper. The removable pages allow you to create albums and slideshows. By leaving the page bindings intact you can also use the iPaperPad as a flipbook.

There is not an app store with 150,000 apps but the iPaperPad supports all existing writing instruments, scissors, and glue currently compatible with paper technology. This includes any items previously purchased by an iPaperPad customer for manipulating paper. There are no developers currently creating exciting paper manipulating items for the iPaperPad.

The iPaperPad starts at just $4.99 for a 25 page paper pad (a considerable savings over the $499.00 starting price for an iPad), and is available now. The iPaperPad can also be ordered in packs of three or in bulk for order of over 25. iPad case compatibility depends upon how many sheets you have left on the pad, likely.
