...an SD slot! Doubtless the Beeb will put on a special edition of Click in April, and there will be queues at the Apple centres backup up around the corner clutching their 600 smackers.

Before you get too excited though: some people in the know doubt that the SD read/write capability will be fully integrated into the operating system and will just be a data exchange feature.

Was looking at these the other day as the girly has just got a £150 grant from the OU for computer resources but didn't really meet the requirements and getting a laptop instead. Tesco Direct have got some okay deals on at the minute. She was determined to get an iPad but I managed to talk her round to get more for her money.
