As a thousand over-excited fanboy bloggers squealed with expectant iJoy as Apple went through its usual charade of closing its online store for a minor upgrade, snack food supremos Doritos laid one on Steve Jobs & Co with a well executed parody video.
Filmed in the style of Apple’s iconic adverts and peppered with buzzwords like “Welcome to Spice 2.0,” there’s no question which company is being targeted in this video. Nice one!

Anyone who spends time on the move knows how handy it is to be able to tether your netbook/laptop/tablet-based computing device to your phone to enjoy some internet connectivity on a bigger screen.
The iPad – a delightfully mobile device if we ever saw one – looks to be just the sort of thing that would be perfect for hooking up to your iPhone.
After all, they’re made by the same people, so all the inter-connectivity and seamless interoperability has got to be just a click away, no?

Clearly hoping to scoop up some of that frenzied iPad buzz, UK company X2 Computing has launched their own “iTablet” range of Windows/Linux-based tablet PCs.
Described as coming “hot on the heels of Apple’s latest product launch,” X2 claims “the iTablet will revolutionise the way that Windows users can access and use data on the move”.

The almighty tiff between Apple and Adobe continues to ratchet up, with Adobe releasing a set of screenshots showing what iPad users will be in for when they try and access popular Flash-powered websites.
The collection, put together by a Lee Brimelow – who is, apparently, a ‘Platform Evangelist at Adobe’ – reveals a long strip of content-reduced pages revealing the blue ‘plug in needed’ icon – something that will soon become very familiar to iPad users.

We’ve already declared ourselves a little disappointed by Apple’s self declared “revolutionary” iPad tablet, and reactions have been mixed everywhere else too.
On the whole, reviewers seem to have warmed to the tablet a lot more than most ‘ordinary’ people who have generally greeted the announcement with a shrug and the questions, “what’s the point of it?” and, “why do I need it?”
We’re not sure if we can answer those questions, either, but read on for some more reaction and comment about Apple’s new tablet computer…

It’s still under development and not expected out until the second half of this year, but Lenovo ’s U1 Tablet/PC Hybrid has already got us a lot more excited than Apple’s frankly underwhelming iPad offering.
Showcased at CES earlier this month, the tablet packs everything you’d need from a fully functioning tablet PC – touchscreen, full multitasking, automatic screen orientation, 3G, Wi-Fi, onboard camera etc, but comes with a very clever twist: it can clip into a special shell to become a full Windows 7 laptop with a proper keyboard.
