I like the iPad somehow. Somehow means I like the shape, the way it performs but I don’t like the limitations imposed by Apple so I’m pretty sure I won’t buy one anytime soon (or preorder it). There are a lot of people out there like me, so there’s always the solution of building yourself your own iPad from better and more capable hardware. That’s what a guy at InsanelyWind, a forum for MSI Wind netbooks has done, turning his own device in something that resembles the iPad.
What he did is pretty simple: he removed the screen and keyboard, attached the former to the bottom part, did some rewiring, installed a hacked Mac OS X version with a theme that makes it look almost just like the iPad interface and that’s it. Sounds simple, I know but it’s clear to me that you need some skills to perform this ’surgery’ on your own. Maybe he’ll make a business from this in the future (except the Mac OS X install part as we all know what happened to Psystar).
