No way, a use for the iPad? Involves beer!
The iPad Controlled Beer Keg
Built by some obviously "underpaid geniuses", as they describe themselves, over at Yelp. I introduce to you the iPad controlled beer keg, *enter sharn*. Yes, you heard right, the iPad controlled beer keg.
They created a custom application, which they then loaded onto the iPad. The iPad is hooked up straight in to the beer keg, and an RFID card reader. If you wish to pour a beer, you'd first need to swipe your pre-approved RFID card to gain a green light. After you pour your refreshing pint you can see your name, how much you've poured and even a history of people that have poured before you. A rating feature is also included.
Not a bad use for the useless pad, i mean iCrap, sorry iPad.
Find a video below.
You'll have to excuse Jeff when he said he loves the iPad, obviously too much pre-testing of this product.
