Although the publication’s Web site confirmed that this product is a Fool’s Day joke, but today, many national media is often portrayed as IPAD another essential element, causing many users question At the end Where could they afford it? This shows that the hidden power IPAD, iPad incarnation as the IT market quickly on a piece of fat meat, because the letter “Apple” and profit, iPad true identity is yet to come, the accessories have been fire.
Small plants of the LV to the unknown
In fact, Icade “iPad Arcade Cabinet” short, literally means “arcade”, many people mistakenly think that really, because the release of the product site, originally called for “smart geeks” selling their own products on various types of accessories design.
Overview Although just a joke, but something more incredible is true, for example, in May LV (Louis Vuitton) has introduced two awards U.S. $ 320 in the protective cover iPad. In an earlier interview, Brand LV chief CEO Carsley said it cost 1850 U.S. dollars 为 of “style classic crocodile skin” iPad Bao Hu Tao, “I remember when I heard Jobs selling more expensive than the protective cover iPad iPad when the face that look of surprise. ”

I must immediately find a case to show my identity, then there is this close to asking price U.S. $ 2,000 of coverage iPad protection. ”
However, some analysts argue that all anomalies are a manifestation of the vitality of accessories iPad, in fact, behind that small manufacturers are not known to the sale of accessories, leather, paper aluminum for special clothing variety, especially iPad size fits all, make these products and how hot devices even more than the iPhone.
“Cottage iPad is difficult, give, it is easy to wear
Facts have proved that the use is not as simple as can be dragged into the altars, iPad available for almost half a year, not only the leading manufacturers of products without serious competition, has always been known for speed and low cost house “cottage” to product manufacturers not too satisfying. However, many people beyond the IPAD on the road too dangerous and sigh, another way is wider convert “the education of Apple, design iPad peripheral accessories.
“Many people think the Nuggets iPad is the development of software, by cons in the App Store waiting for users to download to make money, in effect, the peripheral parts of the easiest, most low-tech “. Operates an online store Wang starting from the iPhone, it specializes in providing a foil devices, leather bag, cover, silicone iPad later, he received the volume of order at home and abroad.

Cost more than 1 yuan to 70 yuan sale
In the current price of domestic sales, Apple original parts are particularly expensive, such as protective cover price of U.S. $ 39 asking price of 600-800 yuan are common, it is a great opportunity for small domestic firms.

Compared to those servants ‘cottage’ manufacturers, the U.S. has more legendary stories. As in January after the release of IPAD was ridiculous, people have joked that the name refers to feminine hygiene pad, a named Clark (Kate Clark) of the woman’s family to ridicule again developed a white exterior of the same type as feminine hygiene pads iPad protective cover, called “IMAX”.

In fact, not only shop online, hot consumer electronics stores in major cities, nikon EN-EL4 charger , specializing in components for electronic equipment shops, while the iPhone, iPad peripheral accessories such as almost all households, is also a variety of different species sample, forming a huge industrial chain.
iPad border industrial chain
“Not only leaf as a single product, not just a small cottage manufacturers, I think that even some large brand launch designed specifically for the iPad headphones, speakers or other accessories, we are not surprised, after all, We have listed 80 days was 300 million iPad The IT market has become a piece of fat meat. “Said an analyst.
In fact, sellers are not only accessories, power and even the manufacturers of motherboards to find the point of sale costs IPAD.
