Ladies & Gentlemen, step right up and pre-order not just an iPad, but a diamond studded iPad. For only $19,999, you will get an iPad hand-set in micro-pave styling. Apparently, the diamonds (11.43 carats) are grade G/H, nearly colourless and a clarity of VS2/SI1.
According to the LoveToKnow website, A pave setting (pronounced pah-vay), excusez-moi, is one where the ring’s band is literally paved with diamonds. When paved, each stone is held in separately, unlike traditional stones that are held in with a metal clasp – supposedly allow the the stone to glitter more brightly as more light is available to hit it – which I find almost amazing since the last thing you really want while looking at a 10″ screen is light reflecting in close proximity.
Nevertheless, if you want to be someone who can say “I bought the world’s first diamond iPad”, you’d better hurry as quantities are “very” limited. You can order one through Mervis Diamond Importers, but be patient, you won’t get one until June 1st.
If you like shiny bobbles but are hesitant, look at it this way, it’s cheaper than the $3 million dollar iPhone 3GS Supreme, you read about in CanoeTech Blog, back in November.
Still, for $20k, it better be the 64GB Model with 3G.

Hello. Very interesting. Maybe my significant other will surprise me with one along with a matching diamond iPad case.
Diamond case? That would prove interesting trying to get it through airport security.
Yeah, but does it come with Pong?
Thomas,
I appreciate your sense of humour but I have no idea how to respond to this, but thanks!
It’s absurdity for the sake of being absurd. Seriously, a diamond iPad? If that’s not begging for someone to hit it with a giant clown hammer of absurdity, I don’t know what would.
Ok, I get it!
Duh! BUt if you want to really poke fun, check out the 3 million dollar iPhone.
