Steve Jobs tonight unveiled Apple’s latest gadget – the ‘magical and revolutionary’ iPad.
He told an expectant audience of technology experts that the tablet computer was a third type of gadget that would plug the gap between a laptop and a mobile.
‘It’s so much more intimate than a laptop and so much more capable than a smart phone,’ he said before detailing what tasks it would do.
‘Browsing the web. Doing email. Enjoying and sharing pics. Watching videos. Enjoying music. Playing games. Reading ebooks,’he said.
The iPad has a touchscreen keyboard that is almost full-size and is a ‘dream to type on’ according to Mr Jobs.
‘It’s very thin – you can change the homescreen to whatever you want. What this device does is extraordinary. You can browse the web with it. It’s the best web experience you’ve ever had.

My new TV set up just didn’t look right with a white Wii and I was reluctant to sell it and buy a black one. The answer was to buy an i-Case “Dark Knight” replacement for roughly £25.
Make sure the all important tool/screwdriver is included when you buy. All you then need is a tutorial, patience beyond what is humanly possible and/or a swear-box. Fifty screws undone and retightended later and your Wii will have a shiny black case like mine. I was impressed with the tutorial overall but did end up finding I had not reinstalled one of the bits.
I’m not sure exactly what this is but if I had to guess, would say it was something to do with the heat sink/ventilation/fan. The Wii is working and has been rigorously tested but I guess time will tell.
If anyone out there does know what the part is and where it goes, then please leave a comment, thanks.
In conclusion, I would warn people to make sure they realise what is required before changing their case but if you have the confidence to give it a go and take your time, then it is a better option than buying a new Wii. I took the risk because I got my Wii for free and didn’t have so much to lose.

After a roller-coaster ride that I just wont bore you with, my new TV, accessories and stand arrived on Tuesday. As you can hopefully see from the picture (which was taken with my iPhone and isn’t the best my taste in equipment is better than the wife’s choice of programme!
The TV is a 42″ G15 Panasonic and I’ve added a BT200 Blu-Ray surround sound. You should also be able to make out a Sky+ HD box, Xbox 360 Elite and a Wii - I already have the black case for that on order. It all sits nicely on the new Alphason stand.
And the best bit…it was all free via Gadgets4nowt !

Vodafone have extended its pre-Xmas iPhone deals offer and anyone pre-ordering an iPhone from Vodafone will get free Vodafone to Vodafone calls.
The free calls to other Vodafone customers will be available throughout the duration of the customers’ contract, making it one of the best iPhone deals.
Vodafone hope the free calls, as well as free texts available on all but the cheapest tariff; will lure customers to their network over O2 and Orange, who also offer the iPhone.
The iPhone is a splendid mobile device and has achieved massive success worldwide, although we’re slightly disappointed we haven’t seen more of a price war.
