It doesn't matter that the newly announced Apple iPad tablet won't be available for another two months (three months for the 3G models), vendors have no intention of waiting to cash in on what's destined to be a hot selling product.
Take iLuv, for example, who on Thursday unveiled a new line of colorful cases and sleeves. For $20, the company is selling water resistant neoprene sleeves for the iPad available in a variety of colors and graphic designs, but that's not all. iLuv has whipped up an assortment of iPad products, including a line of silicone cases ($25), flexi-clear cases with dot wave patterns ($30), ultra-thin cases with Tatz graphics ($35), fabric cases, leather cases, protective films, and more. Check out their full line of iPad accessories here.
iLuv isn't the only one ready to cash in on the iPad craze. Kroo also recently announced a variety of iPad cases under the company's Melrose, Glove, Envelope, Milan, and Cube series.
As we get closer to March 27th, the day the iPad becomes available, expect to see a lot more companies come out of the woodworks toting their Apple tablet wares.

Nothing wrong with OSX in my mind, in fact this Macbook does everything my desktop pc does except gaming (obviously) and video encoding. Besides 75% of the time im on the interwebz, listening to music. Swear to god if Apple let me install OSX on my desktop and Microsoft let them have Direct3D capability I would never go back to Windows (this will never happen, and i might miss w7 a bit...)

Ok Apple, you have some good ideas (iPhone, iPod), but really? The iPad... which I can do what with it? I can't play online flash games with it... I can't type on it well, and I can't use it as a mobile music device... so... Where does that leave me and the iPad?
Worse yet... I get the feeling that this iPad was produced for the sole purpose of flooding the market with useless add ons. A flip open cover? BUY A NETBOOK! Want to protect a screen? BUY A CLAM-SHELL NETBOOK! Want to own a mobile computer that will actually allow you to do something? BUY A NETBOOK!
With a netbook, I can listen to music and edit documents at the same time.... something I can't do with an iPad. Oh, and the price tag.... $299 starting for a netbook... how much for the iPad?!?!
Psh. Talk about bad ideas...

If you were planning on flipping open a case, why not just get a much less expensive and much more useful netbook?
