Of all the suggested name for apples new wonder-machine such as iSlate & iTablet, it just had to be the iPad. It sits so nicely next to the iPod, the seminal gadget that changed the way we listen to music, and of course the iPhone which is slowly but surely eating massive chunks of the mobile market, before long, apple will rule.
But this new ebook reader cum photo frame cum web browsing device cum video player to name but a few of its caapabilties looks simply awesome. I want one. No, in fact I think I need one!!! Apparently wifi devices will be available in late March, 3G devices in April. I will definately wait for the online anywhere version, there is still far to much of a dearth of wifi hotspots in the UK to go for any other version. Ok, so I’ll need to sort a 3g data sim/contract, but hopefully apple will have the sense to allow any sim to be used from the outset. Check out the official apple page: http://bit.ly/bRwWyP and let me know what you think! Hot off the press: I’ve just heard that a smaller footprint ‘iPad mini’ is being rumoured, which will do kind of what the normal iPad does but with an ultra compact 3.5″ screen size. Oh, hang on a minute …. http://bit.ly/bRwjH9
