Colocate an iPad?

Ever since Steve Jobs announced the iPad some time ago, the new product has received its fair share of hype and heat. A colocation company has taken things to a new level, however, with the launch of iPadcolo.net.

The site advertises iPad colocation with 64 GB of storage in a world-class data center. According to the FAQ page, the iPads all run from Wi-Fi and are clustered together onto racks. Each iPad is allowed to fully charge and then unplugged until the battery requires recharging. Worried about multitasking? The company advertises the ability to remotely start and stop services, which must be run one at a time.

By now you’ve probably caught on that this isn’t real. The site is actually part of a marketing campaign for a colocation provider specializing in the OS X operating system. Pretty cool, huh?
