Britain's government says experts are considering developing a bespoke iPad app that would deliver key data straight to Prime Minister David Cameron's tablet computer.

Officials said on Wednesday that the idea is being discussed, though Cameron's Downing Street office declined to comment on the details.

Britain's Conservatives leader David Cameron delivers his speech during the launch of his party's manifesto in London.

The Times of London newspaper reported the app could include statistics and information from government departments, real time news and Twitter updates.

Cameron has previously discussed his affection for his iPad, but acknowledged he needed "a little bit of help from someone in IT" to set up the gadget.
