My first reaction to the new iPad-stand-pillow ePillow was a hearty guffaw — followed almost immediately by a “hmmmm”; it’s one of those wacky-looking ideas that just might be brilliant.
It’s a pseudo-suede pillow with a vinyl iPad stand set into it; a pretty simple solution to the problem of how to prop the iPad up — a problem that plagues the original iPad considerably more than the iPad 2, since the iPad 2 has solutions like the Smart Cover).
The ePillow is $30 and comes in black and brown. Check out the video and tell us what you think.
