As you can see in the video above, Letterman also licked the device and slapped it a couple of times, when it didn’t seem to respond to his commands.

In other news, Apple recently announced that MobileMe now provides iPad support and iTunes 9.1 will feature an “iPad remote” at some point, making the new gadget possibly the most expensive remote on the market.
