Scottvest Features iPad Pocket

by Jay Garrett on February 3, 2010

Once you’ve got your hands on your shiny iPad you’ll need somewhere to put it when it’s not in use.

Former corporate lawyer Scott Jordan owns clothing company SeV, and his Web site features the answer to a question you probably never would ask,

Here is the first and only clothing line with a pocket for the iPad!

The $100 Travel Vest boasts no less than 22 pockets with the “TabPocket” on the jacket’s inside bottom left big enough to hold an iPad.

I can almost here you all ordering one…. can’t I?

Think Pad Tram SeatThe Lenovo Thinkpad likes to see itself as pretty sturdy.

I guess it can take the knocks and scrapes of everyday life well enough – but I’d never think to install them as seats on buses and tram shuttles!

The notebooks have been given the bum deal (heh!) as part of a campaign created by Ogilvy Frankfurt.

They laptops were installed in buses and tram shuttles that were transporting prospective buyers to Lenovo Roadshows all over Germany.

The buses were sat waiting by train stations and airports to get visitors to the events and offered the passengers the chance to surf the web or just take the weight off their feet.

I’d be a little unsure whether a thoughtless clench could format the drive. I wonder if anyone managed to use the trackpad whilst reading a paper ;)

Personally I would’ve preferred to see the MSI Wind as seats – more of a fitting name perhaps?

I’d dare say that if a similar campaign was attempted in the UK there’d all of a sudden be quite a lot of standing room on public transport.
