Gold Plated iPad; a Whopping $5,499

Why would you settle for either a black or white new iPad when you can have one that has been draped with the finest gold plating. London’s Gold & Co has made that dream come through for the few of you who do dream of things like this. The new iPad that is pictured above is plated with 24 karat gold and is the first of its kind. Due to the obviously expensive 24k gold plated layer, you cannot possibly expect that this will be coming cheap. At a staggering $5,499 the tablet will be put on display in a shopping mall at Dubai.

If you are looking for something to make you stand out a lot then you are in luck since there are only 2,500 of the golden new iPads that are for sale so do go through your bank account and don’t hesitate to break open your piggy bank for a chance to have one. While you may see people like Paris Hilton sporting one of these, it is for a good cause because all the proceeds will go to an unmentioned charity. So on top of getting a swanky new top-of-the-range tablet, you get to do your part for someone in need.
