[gallery] I’ve ditched my paper-hungry lifestyle for the new iPad. For two weeks I’ll be replacing the folding stuff with multi-touch gestures, apps and iCloud, amongst others. I never thought it was going to be easy, but already I’ve hit the first hurdle: choosing a digital notepad. Read more

After the new iPad announcement we felt compelled to explain, in no uncertain terms, that its 4G powers are meaningless in this country. Why did we have to do that? Because Apple’s made a pig’s ear of doing so itself. So much so, in fact, that Australian Apple stores have had to begin accepting refunds over the 4G confusion... Read more

[gallery] The new iPad makes a formidable promise. Its screen is “as good as printed paper”. It can out-resolution the glossiest magazine. At this point, its apps can help it replace almost every dead tree in your briefcase or manbag, but until now for this iPad-owner at least, it has remained subservient to a traditional pen and paper. That’s all about to change. For the next two weeks I’ll swap my notepad for an iPad. All magazines will be consumed on-screen, and every written piece of correspondence will be replaced by the iPad. Even the ones that are pushed through my letterbox must be dutifully transferred to Apple’s tablet. Is it possible?

Angry Birds Space is causing quite the stir online. The new gravity gaming mechanic makes the new mobile game the closest thing to a proper sequel we’ve yet had... Which is impressive considering the game’s basic concept stopped making any sense a long time ago. To tie in with the launch, Gear4’s launched a bunch of new merchandise. That's cool, but the best is yet to come: new Angry Birds Space speakers. Read more

Apple is going to launch a range of TV sets this year. Of this, everyone’s pretty certain. Thing is, where will that leave the Apple TV box? The current line of thinking is that it’ll act as a lesser-specced option. After all, why would you buy a new TV when you can get the same features for £99? But if newly revealed Apple patent applications are anything to go by, this could be wrong. Allow us to explain... Read more

Online piracy is a sticky situation that’s not going to go away any time soon. On one side you’ve got the pirates doing anything they can to not get caught. On the other, the IP industries desperately trying to protect profits. There's no easy answer, but then maybe there isn't one. Vint Cerf, one of the so-called ‘fathers of the internet’ doesn’t have a solution, but he’s at least got a couple of bright ideas, as we discovered during a talk yesterday... Read more
