I'm sorry, but i've just read about rumours that the iPad 3 may see light by the end of the year ? Also finding this worrying "quote of a rumour" (not to be taken as 100% fact).
"This is the biggest rumour of all: an iPad 3 mere months after the iPad 2. An unnamed Apple employee says that the iPad 2 was a bit of a rush job, and "the third generation iPad is the one to make a song and dance about."
At this moment in time it costs £459 (Amazon) for a 16gb wifi iPad 2, I wouldn't want to be the sorry soul who forked out for "the next generation of tablet" to be told that actually it's number 3 you want. I really find this is my problem with Apple, I really like the iPod, even going as far as loving the design on the iPhone 4. But to have the bravado to bring out "finally the all new white iphone" suggesting that it's everyone else's fault the first iPhone 4 wasn't white. Just months after those you really wanted the kit paid through the nose for the first iPhone 4.
For me, there's hundreds of different products that work equally as well as an Apple product. And until they lose their status as being "the product" to buy. I'll have to carry on being Apple free....

“The Elephant Man would never have gotten up and gone, ‘Oh, God. Look at me hair today.’” - Karl Pilkington
Just finished reading "An Idiot Abroad" by Karl Pilkington, for those who havn't heard of the man (or his legendary quotes) , he's a former radio producer who worked with Ricky Gervais (of Office Fame) and Stephen Merchant (of Office fame also) when they presented their XFM radio show. Ever since then the trio have become best friends, with Ricky calling Karl, "The funniest man alive in Britain today".
This book is based on the diaries of the trip Karl made for Sky television visiting the Seven Wonders of the World, giving his own unique view of the sites. I can thoroughly recommend both the book and the tv series (now on DVD). I'll just finish up by giving you some more choice quotes from the man himself.
Karl makes his way around China

A new day, another Tennis match.
Am I the only person indifferent about Tennis ? I started watching the women's final but Maria Sharapova's screaming got on my nerves.
For those of you who are Radiohead fans though, the band has just released the first of their "official" 12" remixes of their latest album The King Of Limbs. I personally love them (but I would say that wouldn't I)
Any who is not a fan please give these tracks at least one listen.

Google+ = Facebook Beater ?
Anyone seen the new concept by Google their starting to roll out soon ?
Google+ Promo
From first impressions, it looks clean, easy on the eye and most comfortingly it works A LOT like Facebook. But in my opinion, in a good kind of way.
You organise your friends into different "circles" be it your close friends, your work colleagues, etc. So for me it solves the big problem in you can now target your status' at certain groups of people. I really like you Rick, but I don't want to know what you had for breakfast, that kind of thing.
Threads can be viewed dependant on things like location, with the interesting (if a little geeky) concept of being able to view say a Youtube video (also owned by Google) together with a group of friends/circle. So everybodies reaction can be seen at the same time.
Supposedly on it's way pretty soon, it's still in it's Beta testing stage with limited numbers of "invitations" being given out to those priviliged and quick enough to sign. Apparently demand was "way better than expected" though this may be Google drumming up a bit of publicity.
But I can say I am geniunely interested in their concept, because maybe it's just me but i'm getting a little bored of Facebook with it's "polls, questions, farmville requests" those of us just looking for a social platform to contact friends. However by their definition social sits only work if everyone signs up.
