Let’s build some iPad hype, yes?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The PADD was a wondrous Star Trek device<\/a> that damn damn near what any plot required in the 24th century.<\/p>\n

The iPad is a wondrous 21st century device that Steve Jobs says will change the world as you know it.<\/p>\n

The “Captain’s Log<\/a>” is an iPad app that blends 21st century happenings with 24th century props. You bet your ass we’re gonna own the hell out of it once we own a second generation iPad.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> Because nothing good lasts forever: ‘Star Trek app for iPad pulled after infringement complaint<\/a>‘<\/p>\n


\nEXTRA CREDIT: Andromeda’s Flexi<\/strong>
\nIf you really want to push that geek sell, some bright young thing will create a Flexi interface.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> <\/div>\n

Flexi’s <\/a>come from the Andromeda TV series<\/a>. A series born from Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry’s unused notes. Andromeda’s entertainment value stopped dead after the first season. But if you’re one of those geeks that stuck with it til the bitter end, you’ll be in nerd-vana once you own a Flexi app<\/a>.<\/p>\n
