Film director Michael Bay (Transformers, The Rock, Bad Boys, Armageddon) recently contacted Apple to get Cody an iPad. Kudos to Apple.
UPDATE: July 12, 9:58am EDT: Michael Bay has posted the following on his website:
I read some of the blogs people sent me from other sites, a couple have totally missed the point. Yes I could of bought one for Cody. Not the point, I’m trying to get Apple and Steve Jobs to understand what an amazing device they have – and never intended. Cody’s mother told me the device for communication they insure Cody for are basically shitty and cost 10k. No internet connection. Ipad $700. Insurance will not cover them because you can connect to the internet – are you kidding me. Insurance is always so lame and behind the times.
The point is to get the message out to that these devices like ipads can help kids like Cody.
Michael
