iPads and Angry Birds in space

Space: the final frontier. Now with Apple tablets and Angry Birds. According to CollectSPACE, two iPads and an Angry birds plush toy (the red one) will be on their way to the International Space Station on two Russian spacecraft, launching soon. The two iPads will join an unmanned resupply vehicle and will launch on the 30th of October. The plush toy will be aboard a manned vehicle, with three crew members, leaving Earth for the International Space Station on the 13th of November. The iPads will be used to supplement the iPod speakers that the crew already have on board, therefore, for entertainment only, and the plush toy will be used for verification that they are indeed in space. How will a plush toy do that, you may ask. It will float.
