The $7 Dollar iPad Look-a-Like Made in Japan....

By Mike in Tokyo Rogers

It's called the Padnote and it looks like an iPad. Basically, what it is is a notebook that is useful for drawing and such.

iPad lookalike for $7.00!!!!

From the Mainichi Daily News:


The notebook with gridlines is designed to facilitate drawing. In collaboration with a printing firm near the college, they have managed to imitate the exterior appearance of the iPad, including its texture and control buttons.
The product went on sale online in May, and gained unexpected popularity for its unique design and cheap price of only 735 yen apiece.
The notebook has been available at Tokyu Hands Department stores (wasn't there when I went to buy!) but, if you want one, you can inquire here: info@coccojapan.com

Comments must be succinct & relevant to the story. Comments are checked frequently and abusive, rude or profane comments will be deleted. I’m just one of many bloggers who answer questions online and sometimes for the press. I usually handle questions about Japan, marketing or the economy, so in those areas I’m more likely to make sense and less likely to say something really stupid. If I post something here that you find helpful or interesting, that’s wonderful. This is my personal blog. If you don't like what you have read here then, just like when you go into a restaurant or bar that allows smoking, if you don't like it, there's something at the front that has hinges on it and it is called a "door."
