The iPad Can be Forever Yours with Rumored Free Engraving

You can already etch that precious name of yours into iPods, but currently you can’t personalize the glorious aluminum of an iPad. Though you might be able to soon: AppleInsider reports that Apple may be prepping for such customization by the holiday season.

The report indicated that Apple would have liked to offer iPad engraving earlier, but due to strong demand for the product, the company has been unable to do so. Apple sold 3 million iPads in the product’s first 80 days, and company officials said last week they are unsure when they will be able to catch up with consumer demand.

The report also indicated that the engraving is expected to be free, like it is with the longstanding iPod option.

The words “I love you” couldn’t be written on a more perfect device.
