It had to be cool looking so it didn't detract from the experience, and it had to be simple and hassle-free to adjust."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1322936520.usr105634.jpg" /></p><p> </p><p>And what he came up with is called the Flote. A recent Kickstarter project, this one does project a certain coolness but I'm not sure how much use I would get out of it. I think it certainly would be a neat way to hold your iPad if you were using it as a photo frame or weather station, or something similar. Then again, now that I think about it, this would actually be perfect if I wanted to watch a movie in bed or in a recliner and didn't want to hold the iPad. What are your thoughts?
