    Have you been sponsored by Apple?
    I'm getting annoyed at all the 'i' mentions, and then the name of the gadget afterwards, as a second thought. I don't see you writing "Nokia Lumia/Digital camera", do I?
    Nevermind that it's only at MSE, it's everywhere...
    Being brave is going after your dreams head on
  • The question about "Printer / scanner" is not clear to me. Do you mean "Printer or scanner" or "Combined printer / scanner"?

    What about the new gadget for the MP with everything: the iKissFeet, handy for those meetings with lobbyists, pressure groups and party donors when you don't really want to kiss up to them but have to in order to look good for the party leadership :)
