However, they hinted extra material could be made available to download.

Apple says it sold 3 million iPads over the weekend, not counting preorders. That handily beats previous iPad launches, and puts it close to that of the iPhone 4S last year.
Hours after saying it sold a "record" number number of third-generation iPads this past weekend, Apple has given that record a tally.

The display on Apple's new tablet is pushing new size records, but is it doing the same to the sizes on apps made just for it?
iPad apps as we've known them are about to get super-sized and are now on a collision course with whatever space you thought you had on your iPad--old or new. Early evidence pointing in that direction comes from Apple's own applications, which were all updated last week to coincide with its new tablet, and became considerably larger as a result.

The UK's first mainstream 4G mobile service may launch later this year, says Ofcom.
The regulator says it has received an application by Everything Everywhere to use its existing spectrum to offer the higher-speed service.

It has given other parties four weeks to submit their views about the proposed change.

In this edition of Ask Maggie, I advise a reader who recently lost his iPhone 3GS to the smartphone gods about whether he should buy an iPhone 4S now or wait another three to six months for the new iPhone to be introduced.
