The ultimate (floating) Ipad

Jobs worked with Philippe Starck to design it. Starck also designed this monstrosity for a Russian billionaire.

No matter what I think of the design though, the fact is, if the owner likes it and enjoys it, good for them. My old multi-millionaire boss used to go around the office saying "as long as you have your health... that's all that matters". He's long gone now as well but he had a valid point.
 
well i think its much more attractive than the palmer johnson 150s it needs a colorful graffix package or a wild wrap. I wonder what power he used ? a bit different but pretty cool looking maybe even retro
 
That's just plain ugly - I hear v6 is in the works it will have the power cord at the front and use a different plug - but the wheelhouse windows are 30% larger and use a new type of plastic window. It will work with iOcean to integrate it with all your yachts so they can share engines and fuel - but you'll need the FloatEverything plan to make all that work.
 
The first picture doesn't do it justice, but the side view is sort of a modern-retro design reminiscent of yachts built 1920's. I kinda like it though I agree with Kevin, the right graphics would help. Too bad Jobs didn't live to take delivery.
 
I think it's fairly ugly too, but there are some pictures that some parts don't look too bad. I kind of like the parts that remind me of old yachts. I think he took minimalism too far though.

From a crew point of view, the guy who has to wash it probably likes it. Lots of plain flat surfaces.

I would really like to know what those iMac's do on the bridge. I haven't found many top quality Mac based Nav systems, certainly nothing that would be of the caliber for a 200'+ yacht. Hell, I have a 46 Carver and can't find anything Mac based that I like. Maybe they run Windows :)
 
IMHO, it goes hand in hand with the design of the iPad/iPhone..... Not for everybody, but very nice for some.
