Geek Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/glowing-white-ipad-2.jpg" alt="glowing white iPad 2 frame" title="glowing-white-ipad-2" width="620" height="409" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15065" /></p> <p>The white iPad 2 just got even cooler; if you shine a light on the edge of the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/category/ipad/">iPad</a> 2, the white frame lights up in a snazzy glow. </p> <p>The image above was pulled from a YouTube video which is circulating around Twitter that shows off the effect. In the video, an iPhone 4′s camera flash is used to light up the frame, but obviously any other light source would work as well. LED case idea anyone?</p> <p>Watch the video of the glow in action: <span id="more-15064"></span> <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="610" height="488" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vD2H9vuqKfo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <p>Something tells me that an iPad 2 case maker will build something that takes advantage of this rather quickly. A low power LED bulb would likely be enough to cause the frame to glow, and it could be individually powered by a tiny battery. </p> <p>If you’re still trying to find an iPad 2, welcome to the club, but really, be sure to <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/03/15/check-ipad-2-stock-in-your-area/">check iPad 2 stock at local stores</a> by calling them directly. I continue to contact stores and update the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/03/11/ipad-2-availability/">iPad 2 availability page</a>, but what I find is likely different from locale to locale. </p> <p><strong>Update:</strong> <a href="http://www.9to5mac.com/62155/white-ipad-2-is-so-tron/#more-62155">9to5Mac</a> also has a video showing the white iPad 2 bezel glowing green, thanks to a laser pointer:</p> <p><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="610" height="373" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nqgwSb1oM54?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <p>Looks like just about any color light source will work, fancy.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/nz5EwRBsKd36fMKv74xQXqU8dKQ/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/nz5EwRBsKd36fMKv74xQXqU8dKQ/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/nz5EwRBsKd36fMKv74xQXqU8dKQ/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/nz5EwRBsKd36fMKv74xQXqU8dKQ/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=jP3hJMP19qU:-kklRCb5N5g:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=jP3hJMP19qU:-kklRCb5N5g:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=jP3hJMP19qU:-kklRCb5N5g:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=jP3hJMP19qU:-kklRCb5N5g:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=jP3hJMP19qU:-kklRCb5N5g:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=jP3hJMP19qU:-kklRCb5N5g:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=jP3hJMP19qU:-kklRCb5N5g:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/jP3hJMP19qU" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
