Apple unveils the iPad

No, it’s not a typo. iPad is Apple’s new family member that everyone was dying to meet. Quite fit and slim (but apparently not as lightweight as some had hoped for), iPad is not a laptop or a phone. It’s a tablet that runs an operating system similar to the iPhone and sports a 1024-by-768, 9.7 inch LED multi-touch screen. Powered by a custom-designed Apple 1GHz processor, the tablet runs up to 140,000 of the apps in the App store plus the most recent addition, the iBook store. Just imagine the possibilities…
Out on late March, Apple will sale the iPad starting from around £310, depending on the storage size. 3G units will be available from April, at an extra cost of £80 per model.

Long story short, is it terribly essential for our gadgetry routine? No. Do we want it? Hell yeah.

Carrousel du Louvre

To celebrate the opening of the new Paris Apple Store, Incase have designed a new range of cases inspired by the famous Musée du Louvre pyramid. The collection which includes a messenger bag, 13″ Macbook sleeve, and an iPhone slip case, is adorned with interlocking triangles in bright red and blue. It’s all very geometric and all very French, the pieces are like a modernisation of the Tricolore. Available exclusively at the Apple Store in Paris, these beautiful designs would make great gifts and give us an excuse to take a trip to the City of Lights for all our Christmas shopping!

Thoroughly enhanced to provide a more fashionable look for our geeky gadgets, the fabulous set will be out in December. Two thumbs up!
