Φάτε από το iPad...


Would you eat off your iPad? The screen is easy enough to clean and it’s a large smooth flat surface. Sounds crazy? Well that image above is not a picture of sushi on an iPad, that’s actual sushi on an iPad! Our friend Shiinaneko from Japan tested it out- he calls it the iDish.

You can select any “dish” you want. Just find an image, then resize it to fit the iPad. Put your food atop the dish and enjoy:




Make a small amount of food look like more by putting on a background of a full plate. You can even use your iPhone as a side dish. But it’s not just solids that can go on there. Let’s take a ride in to the danger zone here and pour a little liquid on our precious Apple device:




Apparently after pouring the curry out he realized that it’s virtually impossible to scoop up a liquid off such a flat surface. Also curry is sticky. And his experiment with pudding failed too when the iPad mistook the moving pudding for a finger swipe and change the screen.
The (not so surprising) conclusion is that you should not use your iPad as a plate but if you do then make sure to use a screen protector. And if you do use a screen protector and change it after each course, don’t lose track and place raw fish right on the screen. So if you’re in a coffee shop in Japan and you smell an iPad with a pungent salmon sashimi smell, then say hi to our friend Shiinaneko.
Thanks for the tip Kenji!
