It makes you angry, doesn't it? Over here in Britain, the iPad hasn't arrived because there's "too much demand" in the US, but Americans are just turning theirs into skateboards. What a waste of a good gadget.

As you might imagine, despite reinforcement and the application of grip tape, the screen doesn't last long at all. Nor does it work very well either, with the bearded rider bailing spectacularly a few times. Once it's reinforced a bit, however, it stands up a little better and is used as a ramp extender.

The best bit? It's got to be the drillbit piercing the centre of the screen to the cry of "there's smoke coming out of it!". Even the most hardened Android fanatic has to wince at that level of gadget mutilation...
