- Tata announces Megapixel hybrid EV, alas, it’s just a concept
The Geneva Motor Show means one thing: fantastic cars will be dangled in front of our faces, before being snatched away and being told that it’ll never see the light of day, as it’s “only a concept.” The latest vehicle we’d purchase if they’d let us is Tata’s Megapixel, a four-seater compact hybrid EV that promises a range of 560 miles (900km) on a single tank of fuel. A hub motor sits atop each of the four wheels, driven by a petrol-electric engine under the cabin, with a wireless inductive charging panel for topping up the batteries at home. It’s designed for the city: with a turning circle of 180 degrees in a 2.8 meter space and sliding doors for easy entry. Inside, there’s a rear-projected dashboard with a joystick controller (that reminds us of BMWs iDrive) and a smartphone dock for connectivity. Head on past the break to see the vehicle in action and wonder if it’ll ever reach the market, like we’re doing.

- AppleCare+ extended to new iPad, adds two years of support for a fee
When the iPhone 4S was announced last year, the fine folks over in Cupertino outed an extended, premium protection plan, dubbed AppleCare+. That service, which boosts the standard 90 days of coverage to two years, in addition to ensuring “up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage,” will now also be available to prospective new iPad owners for an additional fee. The company’s set to charge $99 for the package — though you’ll have to fork over an extra $49 apiece for hardware service — but as for a release, there’s still no word on a firm date; simply a promise that the plan’s “coming soon.” Until then, prepare to handle that A5X beast with kid’s gloves.

In what will surely be welcome news for many, it turns out you don’t have to drop another $100 to get everything the new Apple TV offers. Owners of the second generation model can now download a software update that adds the same interface found on Apple’s latest device. No magic upgrade to 1080p, though. Check out the gallery below for a closer look at the changes.
