The awesome, ultimate PixelPad gets a mention as much for its revolutionary, magical, unbelievable website as much as for the pad itself. The paper notepad is made for mocking-up iPad app designs, and the website is for just plain mocking Apple’s hyperbolic iPad marketing engine, as you can tell from the superlatives I lifted for that awful first sentence.
The PixelPad isn’t just a notepad, either. It is sized and shaped just like an iPad, complete with bezel and home button, and has a gridded, graph-paper design for pixel-perfect planning. The backing card is even triple-thick and formed like the back of the Jesus pad itself.
Tear a page and flip it over and you have a 4-up layout for story-boarding transitions and the like, and in each corner you’ll find a 72×72 pixel icon view, complete with rounded corners. It really is a remarkably well thought out pad for iPad programmers.
The site is pretty hilarious, so you should check it out – especially the features page, which points out the infinite battery life (”fueled by imagination!”) and the printing method (”precision + vegetables”). The PixelPad comes in a selection of bundles, from $24 for the Starter which has one pad, one refill and some (good) pens, up to $99 for the Ultimate pack, containing four pads, eight refills, enough pens to fill a pencil case and – best of all – a carton of 12 Crayola crayons.
I’m seriously considering placing an order. Until Apple sells the iPad outside the US, it’s the closest I’m going to get to the real thing.
