Anyone who's been left behind in technology's dust may appreciate the LobotoME 'MEpad,' which is essentially a pad of paper designed to resemble the Apple tablet.
The tongue-in-cheek promotional video amusingly affirms that this scratch pad is less than innovative, yet the spokesman and the product itself highlight some major benefits to the unresponsive organizer. For one, the battery will never run out, and for another, the user is consistently connected to a means to use the LobotoME 'MEpad' in whatever what you wish. Just a pen or pencil is required.
