iPad 3 rumoured to already be in pre-production

Although the iPad 2 was only released a few months ago, the iPad 3 is rumoured to already be in pre-production according to a number of sources.

Apple are said to have placed orders for the parts of the iPad 3 for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2011, with analysts speculating that the new version of the tablet will be released in March 2012.

The next version of the iPad is expected to come complete with a HD 2048x1536display and have a longer battery life. Wireless charging technology is also rumoured to be something which will be included, and this would also allow for data to be transferred wirelessly.

Owners of the tablet device need to ensure that they have adequate iPad insurance in case of anything happening to the item. A number of companies offer cheap iPad insurance but you need to be sure that you compare iPad insurance policies carefully to make sure that it offers everything you need.

For example, some policies will only cover your iPad in this country and if you frequently travel overseas this will be no use to you, others don’t cover accidental damage so if it falls out of your bag and the screen cracks, you can’t claim.

Ensure that you spend time looking for an iPad insurance policy which suits your needs to be sure that everything is protected.

HTC Rhyme Looks ‘Blissfully’ Familiar

HTC Rhyme

Fresh from the German gadget portal HTCInside is a leaked product shot of the HTC Rhyme (codenamed Bliss), the first Android phone from the Taiwanese smartphone giant aimed at the girl about town.

Lots has been written about the phone’s possible features already ranging from the preloaded calorie counting and shopping apps to a Bluetooth charm (included as standard) that you attach on to your handbag which then glows to alert you of an incoming call.

The colour scheme we see in this shot however seems to have changed to a more sensible two tone white-grey from the sea green exterior shell depicted in early images. We’re not quite sure if this will be the final colourway however, but we suspect there will be multiple colour options at launch or further down the line.

Specification wise, the Rhyme is a good mid-tier device with a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 processor, 768MB of RAM, a five megapixel camera that also shoots HD video at 720p and an FM radio. There’s been no word yet on whether it will feature Beats technology, but there’s as good a chance as any in light of the recent unveiling of the Sensation XE.

As you can see on the 3.7-inch Super LCD WVGA resolution display the date displayed is, rather tellingly, Tuesday 20 September, so it’s pretty much a given that this phone will be announced at HTC’s New York event next week!

Understanding the Mechanics of a Protection Insurance Claim?

After you find out you have been paying for mis sold PPI, the first thing on your agenda will be to figure out how to get your money back. It is possible to do, but first you need to understand the mechanics of a protection insurance claim which begins with being able to state how PPI was mis sold. There are a number of reasons to cite, but most often the cover was either misrepresented, sold without your knowledge or consent and at times sold to you even though you were not eligible to draw benefits.

 

Showing How You Were Mis Sold PPI and How Much You Paid

The next step is to figure out how to format the claim to show how you were mis sold PPI and then to ask for the right amount of money back. It isn’t as simple as knowing what percentage of your loan was used to calculate your premium because each of those monthly payments carried interest as well. An online PPI calculator may be of assistance when filing a protection insurance claim for a refund, but there may be times when the calculations are so complex that it takes the help of an expert to get an exact figure.

 

After you have all the details and supporting documentation in order, the next step is to figure out where to submit the claim. Yes, it goes to the lender or the independent insurance producer that mis sold the policy to you but be careful here. If it goes to the wrong department it could sit there indefinitely until someone in the company ‘discovers’ that they have your claim sitting on their desk. Sometimes it is just easier to give it over to a professional claims management company than spending valuable time trying to figure out how to submit a protection insurance claim on your own. There are reputable PPI claims companies out there that are registered with the Ministry of Justice so help is available for the asking.

You have the choice of Sky, Virgin or BT. All of them provide a great service but it’s all down to how much you can manage to pay for it.
