1. iPad - Apple announce their amazing new Tablet. Say goodbye to trackpads and mice!

Introducing The iPad!

Wi-Fi models shipping in late March. 3G models shipping in April*. Australian pricing to be announced.	All of the built-in apps on iPad were designed from the ground up to take advantage of the large, Multi-Touch screen. And they’ll work in any orientation. So you can do things with these apps you can’t do on any other device.
More info soon.... *International and carrier availability yet to be announced.

WHAT DOES IT DO? Hmm What doesn't it do.

Safari
The large Multi-Touch screen on iPad lets you see web pages as they were meant to be seen — one whole page at a time. With vibrant colour and sharp text. So whether you’re looking at a page in portrait or landscape, you can see everything at a size that’s actually readable. And with iPad, navigating through the web has never been easier, or more intuitive. Because you use the most natural pointing device there is: your finger. You can scroll through a page just by flicking your finger up or down on the screen. Or pinch to zoom in or out on a photo. There’s also a thumbnail view that shows all your open pages in a grid, to let you quickly move from one page to the next.

Mail
See and touch your email in ways you never could before. In landscape, you get a split-screen view, showing both an opened email and the messages in your Inbox. To see the opened email by itself, you just turn iPad to portrait, and the email automatically rotates and fills the screen. No matter which orientation you use, you can scroll through your mail, compose a new email using the large, on-screen keyboard or delete messages, with nothing more than a tap and a flick. If someone emails you a photo, you can see it right in the message. You can also save the photos in an email directly to the built-in Photos app. And iPad will work with all the popular email providers, including MobileMe, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, Hotmail and AOL.

Photos
With its crisp, vibrant display, and its unique software features, iPad is an extraordinary way to enjoy and share your photos. For example, the new Photos app displays the photos in an album as though they were in a stack. Just tap or pinch to open the stack, and the whole album opens up. Then you can flip through your pictures, zoom in or out, or watch a slideshow. You can even use your iPad as a beautiful digital photo frame while your iPad is docked or charging. And there are lots of ways to import photos: you can sync them from your computer, download them from an email or import them directly from your camera using the Apple Camera Connection Kit.

Video
The large, high-resolution screen makes iPad perfect for watching any kind of video: from HD movies and TV shows, to podcasts and music videos. You can also easily move between wide-screen and full-screen with a double-tap. And because it’s essentially one big screen, with no buttons or anything to distract you, the picture fills your line of sight. So you feel completely immersed in what you’re watching.

iPod
With the iPod app, all your music is literally at your fingertips. You can browse by album, song, artist or genre, with a simple flick. To play a song, just tap it and the now playing screen will show the album art at full size. Then you can listen to your music with either the powerful built-in speaker, or with wired or Bluetooth wireless headphones.

iTunes
Just tap on the iTunes Store icon, and you can browse and buy music, TV shows, podcasts — or buy and rent movies — wirelessly, right from your iPad. There are thousands of movies and TV shows, along with thousands of podcasts, and millions of songs to choose from. You can even preview songs before you buy them. And you can sync iPad with the content you already have in your iTunes library on your Mac or PC.

App Store
iPad will run almost 140,000 apps from the App Store. Everything from games to business apps, and more. And new apps that have been designed just for iPad are highlighted, so you can easily find the ones that take full advantage of its features. Just tap the App Store icon on the screen and you’ll be able to browse, buy and download apps wirelessly, right to the iPad.

and the iPad will do much, much more. Stay tuned.

RRP $149.95 Our Special Price: $129.95! Click here to buy! The coolest gadget to listen to your iPod with! The primary feature of what starts out looking like a white plastic cube is a color-shifting light system that's found inside, emitting a soft glow that shifts from orange to yellow to green, purple, blue, pink, and red, visible faintly under normal light, and charmingly noticeable in a darker room. Separate buttons control the system's audio power, lighting power, and volume, so you can have the speakers off but the lighting on, and vice-versa. Using the color button, you can either set iH15 to shift colors slowly, quickly and abruptly, or not at all, staying fixed on a color that matches your iPod nano, or turning off all colors in favor of standard white. ... thanks to its great design, pricing, and overall execution, iH15 just happens to inspire visions of all the other cool speakers that could be made with similarly clean designs and color-shifting technology.
