Ten Hilarious iPad Videos
Most of the discussions I've seen about the Apple (AAPL) iPad have been deadly serious. That's certainly the case on BNET. But after a long week of pontification, it's time to kick back. Here are 11 videos ,running from amusing to laugh-out-loud hilarious, which look at the lighter side of the new device. A couple of appeared in other posts, but most are new to the blog and I thought that putting altogether in one place might be fun.
