Mobile Demand proves its xTablet PC can be used as a hammer

Some product manufacturers do things like list specifications or show you pretty ladies to get a piece of your mind. Others use a product as a hammer to prove its durability. MobileDemand did just that, using its xTablet PC to hammer a dozen nails into a board complete with an accelerometer to show how much impact the Tablet PC was taking "without a glitch." If this doesn't prove you can use the xTablet PC to build a bench, we don't know what will. Video after the break, of course.

Aww, I was kind of hoping that thing sticking out of the end was a pnumatic hammer... :(

[BIlly G @ Jun 19th 2008 12:08AM]

Yeah well I bet it can't cut a 2x4.

[happy_penguin @ Jun 19th 2008 12:42AM]

For that you use a Macbook Air. :p

[OneLove @ Jun 19th 2008 12:28PM]

i have soft wood too!

[Xepol @ Jun 19th 2008 12:08AM]

Sure, but can it grate cheese?

[Xepol @ Jun 19th 2008 12:09AM]

or julien cut fries?

[Flashpoint @ Jun 19th 2008 12:34AM]

can it be compacted into a neat space saving storage container?

[happy_penguin @ Jun 19th 2008 12:43AM]

Dice-O-Matic

[nfreader @ Jun 19th 2008 12:17AM]

My Macbook can do that for about 10 seconds before it stops working.

[Kique @ Jun 19th 2008 12:13AM]

Will it blend?
I guess... nope

[trekkie @ Jun 19th 2008 12:14AM]

So... I guess it won't blend then?

[trekkie @ Jun 19th 2008 12:14AM]

Crap. too late lol.

[thethirdmoose @ Jun 19th 2008 6:38PM]

Several months too late, in fact.

[Alex @ Jun 19th 2008 12:18AM]

It cannot cut cake though.

[Jaws @ Jun 19th 2008 12:36AM]

it probably will... just depends on how nice you want the slices to look...
this would more... mash you out a piece than slice. ;)

[Timmy P. @ Jun 19th 2008 12:21AM]

Guess what. It still runs like "a champ".

[Doug @ Jun 19th 2008 12:42AM]

You could easily use it to smash other laptops into powder. Have Laptop wars and be victories over all MACs on Earth!

Give me a call when you can use the screen as a hammer.

On a related note- my plasma TV is Wiimote shatterproof (back & bottom only).

[DefPo3t @ Jun 19th 2008 1:14AM]

you could put one fo these on it and you would have everything u need

[Pavan @ Jun 19th 2008 5:42AM]

When the hell would a Wiimote have a chance to hit the back or bottom though?

Reminds me of this WN commercial:

[Makalu @ Jun 19th 2008 1:24AM]

Now that's what I call benchmarking.

[kccboy2004 @ Jun 19th 2008 1:42AM]

[Ayrkain @ Jun 19th 2008 1:52AM]

The problem is that when you use it, gradually everything starts looking like a nail.

I guess you could use THAT screen to hammer nails in :)

[Jiffy @ Jun 19th 2008 3:19AM]

If someone tries to jack your tablet, just beat them down with it...

[Dylan @ Jun 19th 2008 3:12AM]

But can it play Doom while beating someone over the head with it?

[Dr. Freeman @ Jun 22nd 2008 6:28AM]

Show me that you can kill headcrabs with it, and i'm SO replacing my crowbar with one of these.

[michas_pi @ Jun 19th 2008 4:31AM]

Brings new meaning to the phrase "tough as nails".

[Guns'N'Bozos @ Jun 19th 2008 4:46AM]

Susan: Can you hammer a six-inch spike through a board with your penis?
Chris Knight: Not right now.
Susan: A girl's gotta have her standards.

[aaronbareford @ Jun 19th 2008 6:40AM]

"But will it blend?"
