The i-Pad mini was the must-have Christmas gadget in 2012 but next year Santa may be delivering the i-Watch.
Rumors of the space-age device, began picking up speed when Apple announced the square 2010 iPod nano and Steve Jobs quipped that board members wanted to wear them as watches.

Now, reports from China, where Apple manufactures most of its products, suggest the iWatch could go on sale next summer.

A 97th-minute equaliser by Andy Iro gave Barnet an unlikely point at St James Park, by stealing a 2-2 draw from Exeter City.
First-half goals by Danny Coles and Scot Bennett put City in a commanding position at the break, which arguably could have been even more comfortable.
The City fans had to endure a nervous final 15 minutes – and an extra added seven – after Jon Nurse managed to squeeze in an effort in the second half.
And the unthinkable happened in the final throes as Iro snuck in his effort on the turn, to deny City what could have been a comfortable win....

Actor Daniel Page is loving being on stage at Exeter Corn Exchange and being hissed, booed and generally hated this Christmas, which isn’t the usual thing that professional actors hope for but in this case it’s perfectly normal as he plays Abanazer, the scheming and plotting baddie in Aladdin which runs from 15th December to 6th January.
Daniel has been all over the country as an actor and performer, but his first pantomime took place right here in Exeter. He says:
“I have only done one other professional panto before and that was last Christmas playing Friar Tuck in Robin...
The annual hangover season reaches its crescendo on New Year’s Day. But with resolutions to be kept, at least for a few hours anyway, you may have decided not to tarnish the first day of 2013 with a pounding head but to venture outdoors and see what’s on offer in the Westountry.
From bracing beach walks to horse racing on Haldon Hill and moorland ambles to icy plunges into the sea, if fresh air is your beginning of choice the Westcountry has oodles to offer.
Horse racing at Exeter Racecourse has been a tradition for more than 30 years, and when the first race comes under...
Exeter-based charity, St Petrock’s, as set up a home and garden maintenance project with a difference.
Project Petrock aims to help people who are or have been homeless into work or training by providing volunteering in ‘real work’ situations.
Project Petrock’s Training Supervisor, Mat Tandy explains said: “Our volunteers want to be busy but find it extremely difficult to find work and meaningful occupation. By volunteering with us, the volunteers know that their labours contribute to keeping the project going in more ways than merely raising funds.”
If you've indulged a little too much over Christmas, why not raise pounds by losing pounds?

So why not get yourself in great shape for the spring and...
Tony Hogg, the new Police and Crime Commissioner for Devon and Cornwall is looking for a new Chief Constable. Whoever lands the job wil take home a salary of £151,215 plus car and health cover. Mr Hogg says that the policing area presents very different challenges – large cities of Exeter and Plymouth, the longest coastline in England, a vast rural population and a significant number of summer visitors due to a buoyant tourism industry. He adds that policing needs to be delivered against a backdrop of reducing budgets, an increase in the volume and complexity of demands and a changing police...
The Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital has reminded visitors that it is experiencing an increase in patients admitted with diarrhoea and/or vomiting caused by the norovirus.
Norovirus is widespread in the local community at the moment. Norovirus spreads from person to person extremely easily and causes outbreaks in hospital which result in wards being closed to further admissions. There are now several wards affected.
In order to protect both patients and visitors, the hospital is restricting the number of people who visit patients.
The Environment Agency has warned South West residents to remain on alert for flooding this week.
Over the next three days a LOW flood risk is maintained across the region, with minor disruption likely, and some significant disruption possible, as a result of further outbreaks of rain and showers.
River levels remain high in places, and are likely to rise following further rain, and locally heavy downpours could lead to localised surface water flooding.
The Met Office today forecast yet more rain into the weekend.
