It's amazing what a difference a week makes in the tech space.

Before this week the big tech news was the iPad announcement.  Assuming no one else's big announcements, it probably still would have been the topic on everyone's lips.

However, this was Buzz week.  It's on everyone's lips for the past three days since Google activated it.

The stats for the past three days show that Buzz is looking forward to a bright future.  They're huge numbers for such a short time, although that's to be expected with integration into Gmail.

Is there much iPad news about?  Actually I found a snippet tonight and it's something I'm quite happy about.

Although everyone's joking about the iPad being an overgrown iPOD, what should set it apart are some decent apps like iWork and perhaps a good graphics app.

Apple already announced a new updated version of iWork which suits the iPad, but now hot on their heels comes news that Microsoft are looking at the idea of OFFICE on the iPad.

Now that would be interesting.  A choice of two great office suites for the device.  That'll raise it above being a mere iPod immediately.

So who's coming up with the graphic app?
