Apple launches tablet-style iPad

San Francisco, Jan 28: Apple on Wednesday, Jan 27, launched the much awaited tablet-style computer, the iPad.

Speaking at the launch here, Apple's CEO Steve Job said, "It's so much more intimate than a laptop and so much more capable than a smart phone."


Jobs demonstrated how the iPad is used for surfing the Web with Apple's Safari browser.

He further said, "The iPad will also be better for reading books, playing games and watching video than either a laptop or a smart phone."

Jobs typed an e-mail using an on-screen keyboard and flipped through photo albums by flicking his finger across the screen.

No price or information on availability was immediately announced.

Haldiram owner found guilty of attempt to murder

The owner of popular confectionery chain Haldiram, Prabhu Shankar Agarwal, and four others were on Wednesday convicted by a city court in an attempt-to-murder case.

Agarwal, who has an outlet at Burrabazar, and four others, including Gopal Tiwari, the hired killer, Raja Sonkar, Monoj Thakur and Arun Khandelwal were charged with attempt to murder of a tea stall owner which was in front of the outlet.

On March 30, 2005, Gopal Tiwari entered the house of Pramod Sharma, the tea stall owner, and shot him from a close range. Luckily he was hit in the leg and managed to escape.

"I am happy with the decision, hope they are punished soon," said Pramod Sharma Thakur, victim's relative and owner of a teashop.

On the basis of a complaint filed by Sharma, the police arrested Agarwal. Subsequently, it was revealed from the interrogation of Agarwal that there were four others involved in the crime.

The judge of the fourth fast track court, Tapan Sen, held the five guilty and the quantum of their punishment would be declared on Friday.

Tiwari was lodged in a correctional home while Agarwal and the four others, who had secured bail, appeared before the court. They were taken into custody today, the police said.
