Macintosh software development company Panic recently wanted to load a
BASIC program onto their Apple IIe, but the source code was provided
to them as a sound file generated by an Apple II cassette tape deck.
To load it back into their IIe, they played the file on their iPad:

Although there's nothing technically impressive about this hardware
collaboration, but it's still very cool. Kudos to Panic for
acknowledging their roots and pleasing the fans by inventing the
"JediPad".
For anyone who's not seen the "Jed's Beautiful Ground" music video
before, I've posted it to my blog:
