There's an iPad flavour to most of this week's progamme as we deconstruct the most anticipated launch of 2010.

Was the launch of Apple's iPad a whole lot of hot air or the next evolution in gadgetry? The debate begins as author and technology commentator Nick Carr joins us to debate the highs and the lows of the next must-have gadget, and Bobbie Johnson describes getting his hands on the iPad.

The studio is also buzzing with the escalating row between publishing house Macmillan and Amazon. Did the virtual bookseller drawn a line in the sand by removing all of Macmillan's books from its shelves at the weekend? Was the launch of the iPad a contributing factor? Literary agent Clare Alexander - a former editor-in-chief at Macmillan - joins us to debate the future of publishing and the iron grip that Amazon has over the old media. We also hear hints that Google might have a tablet device of their own on the way later this year.

Elsewhere, Charles picks through the Tories plan for broadband if they win the election (verdict: unlikely) and we discuss the financial issues at Wikileaks. There are your comments as always, too.

This week we're also asking for your comments on how you'd like to change Tech Weekly in future - we've had plenty of responses already, but please do leave us your thoughts, it's important to hear from you all.
