To commemorate the redesign of Stylelist.com, AOL commissioned Gin Lan to create this amazing display at Sak’s Fifth Avenue store featuring 64 iPad 2s, flanked on both sides by nine 27-inch Apple cinema displays… all streaming live content from Stylelist’s site and its official Twitter feed.
We’re no huge fan of AOL here, but even we’ve got to admit, this is a pretty righteous use of Apple hardware. Check out more images after the jump, or if you’re in New York, saunter on by and check it out in person yourself! Here’s some more pics.

Does anyone know how they are doing the video wall of iPads?
still can’t believe it I just got a $829.99 iPad2 for only $103.37 and my mom got a $1499.99 HDTV for only $251.92, they are both coming with USPS tomorrow. I would be an idiot to ever pay full retail prices at places like Walmart or Bestbuy. I sold a 37″ HDTV to my boss for $600 that I only paid $78.24 for. I use BidsNĂ©w.com
custom iPad app – doesn’t show video though just moving imagery (panning)
so did you have to jailbreak them to get your custom app to run?
Nope, as long as you’re a developer you can use your own custom apps on an iPad.
i would love to learn how to do the wall displays of iPads,, and the multiple screen thing,, if anyone has some hard info email me! we have down street art around these parts and that would make a great installation!
I’ll bet it was Sedna Presenta
Any suggestions on where to go for a custom app like that?
I don’t think it’s Sedna either.
This can be done with any web capable devices:
