  | iPad survives a 100,000ft drop!Watch an iPad Survive a Freefall From Space G-Form has put iPads through some serious torture in the name of, err, angular yellow iPad cases? Whatever. This is an iPad (and a Go-Pro!) falling from over 100,000 feet—high enough to see the curvature of the Earth and the black of space). In addition to shooting expensive gadgets into the stratosphere, G-Form's also got a new iPhone case that we're told will be out the week of CES. It'll be $40, but that's about all we know about it right now. Though if the trajectory of these videos holds to form, we'll be showing you video of an iPhone being hurled into the Sun in a week or two. Source: Watch an iPad Survive a Freefall From Space

 | An iPhone being hurled to the sun and a ipad being dropped from space? Surely they can put that money to better use.

| As long as it can survive falling at it's terminal velocity, it doesn't matter how high they dropped it from.

 basically, it will go to a certain speed and then wont go any faster due to the drag etc so it could hit 70mph after a few seconds and stay that speed until it hit the ground
