Despite the lack of any actual commercials for the iPad during last night’s 2010 Grammy Awards telecast, Apple’s newest device did make an appearance, courtesy of comedian Stephen Colbert. During the early moments of the event, Colbert briefly displayed an iPad as he presented the nominees for Song of the Year. Colbert produced the device from an inner jacket pocket, and it appeared to be fully functional, as the screen was shown on the Spotlight search view at first, then on a traditional Home screen layout. Colbert also joked with the crowd while displaying the new device, asking, “Jay-Z, did you not get one of these in your gift bag?” A clip of Colbert showing off the device appears below in embedded form and is also available on YouTube via the above link.
