I'm in a meeting this evening from 6:30 till 8, gutted. :mad:

So my question is, who is best to follow on twitter (covert under the table) for full coverage?

I already follow engadget, MacWorld, AppleInsider, OSX Daily, CNET and a few others, just wondering if there is someone else I should be following.
Cheers fellas.

I'm at work this evening so IF it was to go on preorder today I'd have to contend with stupidly slow internet and crappy computers that are finally being replaced later this year.

Can't read the engadget thing at work but look like tactikle display - can anyone summarise what it'll mean and what it does?

engadget said:
Remember Senseg's tactile touchscreen displays? Well, last December the company showed off a screen that used an electrostatic field to simulate friction and textures on the glass. Such technology was a couple of years away from being commercially viable, but there's a tiny glimmer of a chance it might be the new killer iPad feature. Pocket-lint spoke to a company rep who cryptically said that the company wasn't making any statements until "after Apple's announcement." Why would they issue any statement tied to today's Apple news? Could it connect with a remark made back in June 2011 to Trusted Reviews, that Senseg had partnered with a "certain tablet maker based in Cupertino?" Maybe that line in Apple's invitation to today's event is another clue: "We have something you really have to see. And Touch." After all, Siri was announced at the "Let's talk iPhone" event, so it wouldn't be the first time the company places vague hints under our noses. Still, we have but a few hours left to wait until we really know what's coming, so join us for the live announcement later today.

You can feel stuff on screen.

ie: While you watch a naughty video, you can feel the texture of a boobie.

that's me sold

Supercow · 7 Mar 2012 at 14:06

That's obviously a bit of a stretch, but I guess if you had a "naughty application" of some sorts, it could enable to to grope your iPad... which is somewhat weird

And yet I now want this feature for this purpose.

Does this mean you don't get action in real life?

Look son, I've told you before, no matter how great you think you are you were not immaculately conceived. Your mother and I are still at it like rabbits.
