Usual buy one and flog it 3 days later Stark? 
How much is it going to cost? Just bought SWMBO a 16GB (wifi and 3G) iPad 3 for her birthday so would be interested to see the pricing strategy.

New imac looks tasty, just seen a piccy on macrumors, gotta watch the keynote...
Apple has just launched some new products
New 13" MacBook Pro with Retina
.75" thick, 20% thinner than the old model, and 3.5 pounds. No optical drive and includes IPS Retina display. MagSafe 2, two Thunderbolt ports, USB 3.0, dual mics, stereo speakers.
4,096,000 pixels, 2560 x 1600. "There's never been a small notebook that gave pro photographers this kind of technology and capability."
Ivy Bridge Intel Core i5 or i7 processors, comes standard with 8GB of RAM and up to 768GB of SSD storage. Intel HD Graphics 4000 graphics processor. 7-hour battery, backlit keyboard.
Will def be getting one of these exactly what ive been waiting for!
New iMac
New iMac is extremely thin, lacking optical drive. 5mm thick at the edges, 80% thinner than before. Thickens slightly towards the middle. Using a new technology called friction stir welding to make the case. The display is 45% thinner than the prior generation.
Still 27" and 21.5", not retina. 2560x1440 and 1920x1080 IPS displays. Fully laminated glass for 75% less reflection. FaceTime HD camera and stereo speakers.
Ivy Bridge Intel Core i5 and i7, four USB 3 ports, two Thunderbolt ports, up to 3TB storage, SD card slot on the rear.
New "Fusion Drive". Combined 128GB SDD and 1TB or 3TB HDD drive, "fused together with software." Core applications and the OS automatically go on the SSD while documents stay on the HDD. Mountain Lion determines apps you use most and automatically puts them on the SSD. Performance approaches that of SSD. Uses 50% less power when idle.
iPad mini
"This isn't just a shrunken down iPad. There's nothing as amazing as this." Incredibly thin and beautiful, incredibly thin and light."
7.2mm thick, 25% thinner than full-size iPad. 0.68 lbs, 53% lighter. Available in black and white aluminum like the iPhone 5.
7.9" display, 1024x768. Same resolution as the iPad 2. All iPad software will work with no changes.
A5 processor, LTE edition, FaceTime HD camera, 5MP iSight on back, Lightning connector, 10-hour battery.

Thanks for the review Tom, looks great. I know we will soon get the Apple haters adding their nonsense, but lets start off positive. Big thumbs up from me

omg I'm in love!!!!
okay, so I'm a sucker fanboy and they get me every time!
However, what has caught my eye is that the new imacs are all individually colour calibrated - this must mean then that the panels are colour accurate and as someone who once spent £900 on a colour accurate monitor that could be auto calibrated with a spectra...thingy I like the sound of this.
Can no way afford one...got a 27" imac from a few years back and its going well...as is our macbook pro which is even older.
However, the wifey asked the other day about getting another ipad (cot an original and ipad2) so she who holds the credit cards might be persuaded to buy...and we;re going to Exeter (nearest Apple store) on Fri 2nd, when they are released...probably none in stock, but it could be fate!!!!
