The iPad iStation is a throwback to the beginning of Apple. It is a tablet stand that takes on the shape of a retro Apple computer. This nostalgic tribute is a perfect gift for fanboys and girls alike. Although it may be considered bulkier than the average tablet dock on the market, the iPad iStation has much more meaning than most of them.
The iPad iStation is brought to us by the M.I.C Store. It features a portable keyboard and stereo speakers with a subwoofer. It is capable of playing MP3s directly from a USB flash drive or a microSD card. The iPad iStation is also available in two finishes: faux woodgrain finish or white pearl glossy finish on the plywood body, both of which come with a choice of a white or black removable Bluetooth keyboard.
