Now leaks are one thing and, being the untrusting fellow that I am, even though I want these shots of the iPhone 4G to be real I can’t help but shout ‘render!’. True; plenty of work has gone into this and the exposed brickwork setting is very tasteful but something isn’t sitting right. I like the idea of a choice of colours and docks for the next gen iPhone – do we still think it will have the name of 4G? Let’s face it; who thought Stevie J would go for iPad as a name? These ‘leaked’ shots are all in their full glory on umpcfever.com. I hope I’m wrong but I’m just not feeling this – are you?

Check out our new £250 Amazon voucher giveaway! Video: Lenovo tablet netbook S10-3t or iPad? What makes the newly unveiled Lenovo S10-3t comparable to the Apple iPad is that it is like the T91 which means its a netbook but is also capable of transforming into a touchscreen tablet. What makes the S10-3t tempting (at least for Windows users) is that it runs on Windows 7 and most users will be happy to stick with software that they’ve been using on their home desktop. While on the other hand, going for an iPad would mean having to adapt to a new OS and the only source of apps being the App Store. In a way the iPad is less open source. However, as you will see in the below video, the S10-3t with a swivel touchscreen gets abit too luxurious, given that it is still at the end of the day...

If you have been patiently waiting to get your hands on one of Apple’s [AAPL] shiny new tablets, The Apple iPad, then the wait is almost over as Apple will start taking pre-orders for their new device today at 8.30AM EST (5.30AM PST). From today you will be able to pre-order a WiFi iPad which will ship on April the 3rd or a 3G iPad which will ship in late April. The pre-orders are only in the US at the moment, there are still no details on the exact release date of the iPad for the UK and the rest of Europe. It will be interesting to see how well the iPad does in pre-orders, will it be hugely popular and sell out straight away? via Gizmodo This is a post from Geeky Gadgets, who bring you the latest Gadgets and Technology News.Apple iPad Pre-Orders Begin Today At 8.30AM......

It won’t be long until the Apple iPad goes on sale, every day we are seeing more and more manufacturers releasing accessories for Apple’s new tablet, today we have a funky looking iPad case, the ModulR iPad Case. The ModulR iPad Case is slightly different than any of the iPad cases we have seen so far, it comes with a range of interchangeable accessory attachments that are designed to help you use your iPad in different situations in every day life. “The iPad is supposed to be a ‘go anywhere, do anything’ device,” said Josh Beatty, founder of modulR. “The modulR case and accessories help make that vision a reality by allowing you to easily and safely take the iPad into new settings, like your kitchen and the backseat of your car – places you might not feel...

Apple has released the latest Beta version of the iPhone SDK, to developers, iPhone 3.2 SDK Beta 4. The guys over at 9 To 5 Mac have uncovered some interesting new Gesture Controls in the latest build of the iPhone SDK. The iPhone SDK 3.2 is due to launch at the same time as the Apple iPad, and these new gesture controls are likely to be on the iPad at launch. There are two new gesture commands in the latest SDK, which include 3TAP.plist and LongPress.plist, which suggests that Apple is going to let developers take advantage of these new gesture controls in their applications. Apple has also removed several icons that were found in the last SDK Beta which related to video chat, so it doesn’t look like we will see the iPad launch with a video camera, this is something that will...

I wonder how many different iPad accessories will be available by the time Apple starts selling the iPad. The latest iPad accessory is the Cloak iPad case from the guys over at Quirky. The Cloak iPad case is made from non slip rubber, and your iPad slides into the case through a top opening and it is held in place by a friction grip. Quirky will be selling the Cloak iPad case in a variety of funky colors which include green, pink, blue, bkack and white. If you want one they are available to pre-order for $36 from Quirky.

It won’t be long before Apple’s [AAPL] new tablet goes on sale, it turns out that the iPad may not ship with exactly the same Apple applications pre-installed that are currently on the iPhone. According to John Gruber of Daring Fireball, the iPad will not feature the Calculator, Clock, and Stocks application that are currently shipped with the iPhone. Apparently the reason these applications will be left out of the Apple iPad is that Steve Jobs decided to ditch them as they didn’t function excatly the way he wanted them to on the iPads larger screen. There was speculation that these applications would be available as a free download from the Apple App Store, although it now seems that this wont be the case, at least when the iPad launches, Apple may offer new versions...

You might have picked up on the fact that we’re quite excited about the impending arrival of the Apple iPad next month, but it’s easy to see why some people think that it’s nothing more than a bigger version of the iPod Touch. Sort of the same way that a bus is just like a bigger version of a car. Fortunately, some major companies are getting ready for the advent of touch-screen tablet computing (yes, other tablets will be available) and are doing some good hard imagineering about how the new format can be best used. Here’s a glimpse into the future courtesy of Penguin Books and it shows that the iPad will be so much more than an (already-obsolete) eReader. There’s interactive games for little people that make use of the touch-screen and motion sensor capabilities along with...

HP has released two videos featuring their new HP Slate tablet, which take a bit of a stab at the recent Apple iPad advert that was shown during the 2010 Oscars. The first video looks very similar to Apple’s iPad advert, the video features just a screen and a pair of hands using the tablet, and as you will see from the video the Apple iPad and HP Slate look like very similar devices. The second video takes a shot at the Apple iPads features, as you can see from the video it point out the lack of support for Adobe Flash on the iPad, and HP has even highlighted this on their blog, with a post entitled ‘The HP SLate Device Runs The Complete Internet.. Including Flash‘. There are still no details on when the HP Slate will go on sale and how much it will retail for,...

With the shipping date slipping for Apples new iPad most thought the delays were down to hardware supplies and manufacturing but apparently this area is all good to go. Manufactures in the Pacific have confirmed that hardware is not the problem and John Gruber at Daring Fireball claims the software has taken longer to finish than they’d hoped. Lets hope Apple can correct these problems and not release an OS that needs large scale patching after release. Even though it is becoming common practice for companies to release software and market test issuing patches rather than correcting the issues before release.

The mythical PSP Phone as well as an iPad baiting tablet may well slip out from Sony – Well, that’s how the Wall Street Journal sees it. Sony CEO Howard Stringer is looking towards Apple for inspiration in order to bring success back to Sony’s door. The Japanese company is already making steps with its Sony Online Service having iTunes firmly in its sights and add that to a bunch of new mobile gadgets to use SOS – it sounds like plots are forming. The report claims a source says that there will be a PSP-phone and an iPad style tablet that “blurs distinctions among a netbook, an e-reader and a PSP.” These new devices will join the PSP Go and get access to SOS which will enable them access to games, music, movies and, more-than-likely, e-books....

Apple has almost come up with a definite UK release date for their iPad. Where stateside gadgety fans will be able to pounce on the new Wi-Fi tablet on April 3rd and the 3G version later the same month we in the UK will get both by the end of April. US customers can pre-order the Wi-Fi models from 12 March, but not so for us in Blighty – we can’t pre-release purchase at all. Apple has also said that the iBooks app and iBookstore will be available in the US on 3 April, with “additional countries added later this year”. I’m hoping that the land of the Union Flag will also be getting this, even though there’s indications to the contrary, as surely this is one of the major selling points of the iPad – or am I still confused?...

Everyone has seen Apple’s iPhone commercials which have been aired for quite some time now. Apple has shown off its first iPad commercial during the Oscars, you can check out the video of it in action below. As you can see from the commercial it shows off the main features of the iPad, which includes Apple’s new iBooks it certainly looks very cool, lets hope it is good as this when you are using it. via App Advice This is a post from Geeky Gadgets, who bring you the latest Gadgets and Technology News.Apple’s First iPad Commercial Shown During 2010......

The Apple [AAPL] iPad hasn’t even gone one sale yet, delayed until April, and we have already seen a large amount of accessories for Apple’s new tablet device, the latest one is the Vers Handmade Wooden iPad Case. We have seen a number of these Vers wooden cases before for the iPhone, and now you will be able to buy a wooden case for your shiny new iPad. The Vers Handmade Wooden iPad Case comes with a built in kickstand, and the case is made from hardwood and bamboo, and the kickstand has been reinforced with steel to make sure it lasts. The case give you full access to the 30 pin connector so you can charge your iPad without having to remove it, and it also gives you full access to the volume controls. The Vers Handmade Wooden iPad Case will be available shortly for $80 from...

It seems that in recent years, anything that Apple comes up with seems to generate a whole lot of publicity. We can’t really blame them for making good on their range of devices though, delivering quality as well as the most important of them all – a fantastic user experience which appeals to the broadest user base. Well, the iPad which was unveiled a couple of months ago certainly raised quite a furore amongst the general population, but there are also the fair share of detractors. Well, fans of the iPad will be pleased to know that the magical and revolutionary device is tipped to hit the US market on April 3rd, although this is limited to just its Wi-Fi models while others who want the high end Wi-Fi + 3G models will have to wait until the end of April. As for people...

We have an iPod Touch winner! Official: iPad arrives on April 3rd, pre-order from next week Its finally official, Apple has told in a press release the official launch date of the iPad. It will be available from April 3rd, while for those of you in the US, the queue for pre-ordering the non-3G version of the new device will open from next friday. Its also been said that the 3G version will be coming in late April along with iPads for users in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK. For those in the UK, all it says is that the iPad will be coming late April, no exact date is yet available. There will no doubt be some discrepancies in terms of pricing, if you’re in the US, you’re looking at the following pricing. Even if you’re...

Apple [AAPL] has just announced that the WiFi model of the iPad will begin shipping in the US on April the 3rd, with preorders being taking from the 12th of March. I have just checked Apple’s UK store online and it is still showing that the iPad will ship in March, this will probably be updated to April, as we reported earlier when we revealed the UK iPad Pricing, as our tipster had told us that shipments would begin in April instead of March. Apple has also said that the 3G models of the iPad will also ship late on in April, so this is probably going to be the end of the Month. Prices start at $499 for the 16GB WiFi model in the US, Apple have yet to confrim UK pricing as yet, but our tipster told us that the 16GB WiFi model would go on sale in the UK for $389. Apple will no doubt...

Why the collapse in online advertising might be leading you to read pretty much anything about Apple's new gizmoHey, have you heard? Apple's iPad is having production problems! And it's not having production problems! Also, it's going to cost £389! Or possibly less, or more. And in the UK the 3G version is going to be exclusively on Vodafone. As well as being on Orange and O2. Also, it's going to be released in the UK two weeks after the US, where it's being released on March 26, or actually 29th, except it's being released at the same time. And it's going to cost..OK, enough breathless murmery. Let's clear the air. There is an astonishing amount of speculation going on about Apple's iPad. Very little of it seems well-founded - or even grounded in logic.The facts about the iPad: Apple...

Since Apple [AAPL] announced the iPad, publishers have been getting their content ready to go on Apple’s new device and also their new iBooks platform. One of these companies is UK publisher Penguin, who have shown off some sample books that they will be launching on the iPad. As you can see from the video below, the books do a lot more than standard hardback books, most of them are interactive and have a number of features. It certainly will be interesting to see what types of different books are developed on the iPad, and I think the platform will be especially useful for children who will be able to use the interactive books for learning, as well as older students. via Mobile Whack This is a post from Geeky Gadgets, who bring you the latest Gadgets and Technology News.Penguin...

We suspect our avid Bitterwallet readers are too savvy to fall for some dickish Facebook (and Twitter) scam, but you’ll no doubt have plenty of friends and family who aren’t, so point them at this. Obviously Apple doesn’t bother beta testing new products with puny earthlings, so the whole thing is a lot of old balls. If you give your details away to the scamsters – specifically, your mobile number – then you can expect to find yourself subscribed to premium rate SMS services. Nice. It looks like it’s geared towards US users only, but we’re not going to to test that theory:...

A function has been found in the Apple iPad SDK, which could possibly mean that you would be able to make emergency phone calls on the device. The emergency phone call function was spotted in the SDK when the pass code lock password was entered incorrectly five times. It is not clear whether this is a function that has been left over from the iPhone OS, or if it is a function that will actually be built into the iPad, which would probably be featured in the 3G models. The Apple iPad features everything that you would need to make a phone call, which include a speaker, microphone and a 3G connection, although the reason this feature is in there could be that the FCC require any wireless phones to have the ability to make emergency phone calls, even if the phones aren’t activated and...

It’s a big topic. We’re led to believe that the mainstream media world is in trouble with declining advertising revenues and difficulty in matching available revenues with cost of production. And not only that, there’s a whole new world of mobile and social media out there with unclear revenue models. Where do you place your bets? Do you knock down your existing business to create the new one? Do you wait before making your move but risk missing the boat altogether. These are all questions the answers to which are still unclear. So with this in mind, I’ve pulled together a few links which may help shed some light if you’re mulling these kinds of questions over too. There’s the FT Digital Media and Broadcasting Conference which was on yesterday and today. Although I’m not...

AT&T will be the exclusive seller of the 3G iPad in the US when it goes on sale in April. You would think that AT&T would be pushing the device and trying to get people to buy the 3G version rather than the WiFi version so they can sell them another data contract. It seems that AT&T’s CEO, Randall Stephenson doesn’t think this way, and he recently stated the following at investor conference that was held yesterday, “My expectation is that there’s not going to be a lot of people out there looking for another subscription,” he also added that the Apple iPad would be a “Wi-Fi driven product.” This is a somewhat strange statement from the CEO of a company that has just scored the exclusive rights to sell the 3G iPad in the US, you would...

Whenever there is a major event you can be pretty sure a scam will follow. Apple recently announced the new iPad, a fusion of tablet computing, the iPod Touch, and mobile internet devices, and sure enough scammers have seized upon it as an opportunity to relieve of us of our hard earned cash. The scams are appearing on a number of social media sites with Facebook members being offered the once in a lifetime opportunity to become an iPad tester (with free iPad of course) – but be wary as it actually signs you up to a premium rate mobile phone service. Twitter users, too, are being offered “Free Apple iPads” which are really veiled attempts at phishing information from you including your mobile phone number. Remember that the iPad is not even available yet, and it’s unlikely...

Signing up for that 'free' offer could actually end up costing you as scammers use Facebook and Twitter to tempt gadget seekersIt's a day for scams. Think you've been given the chance to sign up as an iPad tester via Facebook? No you haven't - it's a scam which actually signs you up to a premium rate mobile service, warns the security company Sophos."Facebook pages with names such as "iPad Researchers Wanted - Get An iPad Early And Keep It!" and "The Mega iPad Giveaway!" prey on the public's desire to own a free iPad," notes Sophos.Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos, has explained the scam on his blog.Here's how it works. The scam pages typically take their intended victims through a three step process:1) "Become a Fan" of the page; 2) "Invite your friends" to also...

Ever since the entry-level price of the Apple iPad was unveiled as $499, plenty of doomsayers have been expecting a UK price-tag of £500 and higher. Not so, according to Geeky Gadgets. They have it on good authority that the basic model (WiFI, no 3G) will cost £389. The site has also heard on the techno grapevine that the 32GB WiFi model will cost £439 and the 64GB WiFi model will be available for £489. There’s no pricing yet for the 3G model, but given the cost of the US versions, those prices suggest a 16GB 3G iPad would also come in under the £500 barrier. While the last week in March is slated for the US release of the device, Geeky Gadgets believes we won’t get our greasy fingers on that touchscreen until April. If true, then compared to the US prices, these figures...

This is proof that attention to detail is a good thing. There’s been plenty of rumours going around saying that the next version of the iPad will have at least one camera, probably for video calling, and even the existing iPad contains the necessary software. Now, a sharp-eyed member of the Mac Rumours website has spotted that there is a blank key on Apple’s new iPad keyboard dock. Have a look for yourself – it’s the one in the middle above the number 6 key. Speculation is rife as to what this will become when launched. Keeping in mind that the iPad already has a music playback button, screen brightness controls, a dedicated home button, a key to start a photo slideshow and a search key – Macduke thinks the blank button maybe for a Mac style...

Geeky Gadgets has received a tip on how much the Apple iPad will retail for when it goes on sale in the UK, The base 16GB WiFi iPad will be available for £389, the 32GB WiFi model will be available for £449 and the 64GB WiFi model will be available for £489. If you compare these prices to that of the US at todays exchange rates then they are more expensive than the US models, which has been the trend in the past with the iPhone and Macbooks and other Apple hardware. The 16GB WiFi iPad will retail for $499 in the US which works out £326 at todays exchange rate, the 32GB WiFi iPad is $599 in the US which works out £392, and the 64GB WiFi iPad is $699 in the US which works out at £457 using todays exchange rate. Our source didn’t have any information on the WiFi and 3G iPads...

Apple [AAPL] has released a new version of the iPhone and iPad SDK (Software Development Kit), iPhone OS 3.2 Beta 3, then a few hours later Apple pulled the SDK, but not before a few developers managed to download it. The version of the iPhone OS 3.2 SDK that was downloaded contained a Photos application for testing via the iPad Simulator, and that application can automatically access camera hardware if it is present. When Apple announced the iPad there was no built in camera, and it looks like the camera could be added to the next generation of the Apple iPad, as I doubt we will see a camera ship in the first generation iPad. Apple probably left the camera out of the first generation iPad to keep costs down, as they wanted to sell the iPad for the lowest possible price they can, in...

Love it or question its point – you can’t ignore the Apple iPad. No matter which side of the fence you stand you can’t argue the fact that it will sell millions. If you are jonesing for some fruity tablet time the joyous day may almost be at hand! Rumours have surfaced that the Apple iPad pre-orders will begin this Thursday – 2 DAYS AWAY! Steve Jobs said at launch that the Wi-Fi-enabled iPad would hit the streets 60 days after the announcement but Appadvice reckons that pre-orders are just round the corner. Pre-orders will be for the Wifi version initially, with the 3G-enabled tablet following later. Initial orders are also likely to be US-only. Are you going to be adding your name? Are you laughing at the lack of Flash and hoping that HTML5 will...

The Apple [AAPL] hasn’t even gone on sale yet, and already we are stating to see some of the applications that will be available on the iPad, this one looks quite interesting, the Creston Home Automation iPad App. The Creston Home Automation iPad App will let you control your lights, house temperature, media and even open and shut your curtains, of course you will need additional hardware for these functions. The Creston Home Automation iPad App will turn you iPad into a full touch panel to control a range of functions around your home, and it will work in a similar way to their existing iPhone application. It certainly would be a cool way to control everything around your home, although we suspect with the additional hardware needed it could end up being quite expensive. Creston...

The first models of the new Apple [AAPL] tablet are due to go on sale sometime in March, now it looks like you may be able to pre-order the WiFi iPad from as early as Thursday the 25th of February. According to App Advice, who have said they have been told by a reliable source that it will be available to pre-order from Thursday, with a possible shipping date of the 26th of March 2010. The Apple iPad features a 9.7 inch diagonal LED backlit glossy widescreen multi-touch display, and a 1GHz Apple A4 custom designed high performance, low power processor on a chip, and it also features a built in accelerometer and an ambient light sensor. The Apple iPad measure 9.56 inches tall by 7.47 inches wide by 0.5 inches deep and weighs in at just 1.5 pounds for the WiFi model, and 1.6 pounds for the...
