    the important thing here, is that he used Apple stuff to do it!

    but no, its good to see that the ipad 2 is reaching levels of functionality matching the lofty heights of a 90s laptop…

    I’m curious how he transfered the file between his iphone and ipad?
    can I do that via blutooth?

    I get the sinking feeling it required two expensive 3G connections…

    Talk about apple fanboyism. That’s just sad. Iphone 4 and Ipad 2? Do these people let the soil settle in the technology industry? Or do they just splurge at the sound of a new iphone or any product for that matter!

    I bought an xbox 360 on release as my first every “release-purchase”. Worst decision as you can probably guess i’ve been through a few xboxes. Had i waited, i probably would’ve been better off!

    Surely taking a video while driving is illegal and irresponsible.

      Indeed. Plus the fact he was driving into a high risk area.

        there’s a friend with him and yet it’s the driver who appears to have captured the footage. For his credit I suppose…

    Is this really news worthy? how ever I found contents like this really put me off reading Gizmodo.

    Apple PR setting fires again so they can record it and tell you it was done with the iProducts, by an iVictim.

    He could’ve at least held the camera in the right orientation…
