Montgomery, AL-Governor Robert J. Bentley (R) achieved a milestone this week when he confirmed that Apple, Inc. the company responsible for such ubiquitous devices like the Ipod and Iphone would produce a special version of it's hugely popular Ipad mobile computing device designed specifically for use by residents of his state.
Surrounded by his staff and legislators, Bentley made the news public on the capitol steps. "After months of working closely with Apple, I can now proudly announce that we Alabamians will now be able to take part in the mobile electronics revolution! Apple has really come through for us and for that, we are eternally grateful," Bentley said. "While so many others cast our needs aside, Apple took the time to understand our people and closely considered their capabilities as well as their limitations. God bless you, Steve Jobs. May you live to be a thousand years old."
Details about the special version Ipad are still sketchy since the product specifications have been kept top secret from all but a select few. The first shipment of the custom device is not expected for about two weeks, but some basic information has been leaked in recent days. An anonymous source within the governor's office confirmed on Wednesday that this particular Ipad will utilize solar power instead of battery power - a feature not even considered as feasible for the traditional version. The source also confirmed that it will be lighter, much more portable and will not require a long learning curve. "From what I was told, even a child will be able to pick it up and begin using it within seconds, as long as the user is standing under the sun or near a strong light source. I've also been advised that it is even capable of being stored in a shirt pocket. How do you like that regular Ipad owners? Ha!" As for the intense fanfare generated since the announcement, "I haven't seen this much excitement since 1994 when the state finally repealed the law against marrying your sister," the source concluded.
