Apps for apes: give your old iPad to a bored orangutan

Did you know that there's a special program which aims to enrich the lives of orangutans living in zoos by donating iPads to those zoos? These iPads are then used to entertain our intelligent friends and bring some diversity to their otherwise monotonous lives...

or they can buy a cheap android tablet with a resistive touch screen which will cost lesser than a second hand ipad.

They want them to play with them, not throw them against a wall in frustration.

Does that mean that apes are caching up with "some" people?

I think they're not quite there yet...maybe they'll figure out which OS is what and later, they might even switch to Android or WP figuring out that iMaps actually lead them to the APPLE tree instead of the banana tree.

That orangutan is thinking "wait, you said this is the NEW ipad, it looks and acts exactly like the old one, the f*ck is this? I'll not have my intelligence insultied, good day sir."

Will they throw iPads instead of feces?
The painting and music apps could be interesting. Elephants and other Great Apes besides orangs have shown an interest in painting and making music (not electronically).
