We had some fun and blew up a new iPad3.

A great staff fun day out as you can see. I am the one in the brown coat.

Wow.

Could of gave it away for a contest at least.

Not only was it dumb to waste an iPad 3 like that, the video wasn't even fun to watch. What a waste.

One Word.............. FAKE. The old bait n switch, gets them all the time.

Fake or real, it was generally just rubbish to watch. Not a patch on those guys who smash consoles on launch day infront of queues waiting to buy. Oh well, if nothing else, you've inspired me to seek out some of those vids.

It wasn't fake. Why would we fake it?
You can see the screen operating right up to the explosion.
And after it has been blown up you can clearly see that it is the iPad we started with.
The cost of the iPad was not significant at all in marketing terms.

We have kept the remains and are framing them to put on the office wall. Anyone lucky enough to visit us will be able to clearly see the bigger camera that marks this out as being an iPad 3.
