Rajan Datar stands back from the hype that surrounded the recent launch of Apple’s iPad and asks when legitimate coverage of something that is genuinely new and interesting turns into promotion of a commercial product. He talks to the presenter of Digital Planet, Gareth Mitchell – a man who is used to cutting through corporate razzamatazz and looking at the issues behind the superficial story. Rajan also hears the problems of a blind listener who feels that he is being excluded from participating in online surveys – and he finds a solution to the problem. And there are more emails and calls about the trails for the Monday Documentary, Opposing Obama – as well as comment on the programme itself.
