New iPad Mini video offers a peek from all sides
Share:
It also proves that for about $13, it is pretty easy to acquire one of these models. Outside of that, it is somewhat surprising that there is a lack of rumors about this upcoming device. There has been talk about an introduction sometime in October, but with that month nearly upon us, we have not heard or seen much about the new Mini.
It will be quite interesting when Apple does enter the smaller tablet segment. With Amazon’s Kindle Fire HD and the Nexus 7 offering very competitively priced, highly capable tablets, the iPad Mini will certainly be facing much stiffer competition. Apple will find itself in an interesting position as the new kid on the block.
Do you think the iPad Mini will make a big splash, especially now that iOS 6 is sinking in and has not generated all the buzz one might expect? Is this the tablet you have been waiting for?

it's supposed to be low-cost. if you're looking for all that, wait for the high end 9.7" model next year. most obvious thing

So if it is low-cost? It is the same interface as the iPhone, the iPod touch and the iPad isn't that a little overkill for a interface that has been mostly the same for some years now? iOS is dated IMO.

Low cost? Why would Apple pit a low cost iPad mini against a $300 iPod touch? The only way this would work is if Apple get's into the video/music substriction business. I don't think Apple knows how to do low cost and turn a profit on hardware alone. Low cost is $200 for 7 inches or under $300 for a 9 inch. Amazon, Google and Barnes and Noble are not playing games and I can see these products going under $200 next year because their selling services. Apple is a hardware company trying to make profits off of over priced Chinese made computers, tablets and phones.

I love when people talk about what they don't know. Apple makes tons of money off of sales of music , books, videos and other items. I don't know what the price will be but they only build quality. I will buy one. Nothing over priced about Apple products, go actually look at them. You can buy what you want but don't rag on something you know nothing about.

"...to be low-cost..."
Apple is known for offering premium products.
It would be surprise if this company to offer low-cost products.

I should also say iOS. Should be much more improve. But... Nothing Wong with th pyhsic button. Samsung also using the physic button. What's wrong. Design... Galaxy Note 2 is also almost like a enlarge version of Galaxy SIII. no problem.

Personally, i really enjoy the fun and challange of having a more flixible, open platform on which i can exert greater influence over what it does and how it operates....

I think your right it is a boring OS as far as looks. That being said the thing about this tablet is it will be cheaper than the iPad and basically it will work well for the people that want an easy to use simple devise. There is a huge app store and I would guess that this version can use both versions hd(iPad) and regular(iPhone and iPod) well. I think the cheapest version will be $300 doubt but a $200 version is possible(8 or 16gb) it probably won't be a huge success like the iPad but will sell well like the iPod. They may also keep the price down by useing extra leftover parts from the iPad2 (I doubt it though) I personally like my iPad 2 bit I don't think I will ever buy a iPad again. Don't get me wrong the iPad and this iPad mini are really good devices but like other people have said I like to mess around with my devices and Chang roms And tweak thing and have total control over my devices. I will probably stick with either just nexus devices or atheist devices that I can control with everything being unlockable. I also wish that more devices were able to have a touch screen like the note which alowed a stylus tucked in the side and had a tip that was almost to a point. Stylus use is missed when it comes to stuff I miss from all my windows phone devices with the resistive touch screens

I've never liked the looks of the iPad... It's too square-ish. I don't like squares. Rectangles all the way.
3. JunkCreek posted on 30 Sep 2012, 03:53 2
now, if miniPad (wow I should patenting this name!) really made, the "good artist borrow, the great artist steal" now just become a copy-cat.

myniPad also works, myn-iPad... what ever.
I should patenting this name!

i think the ui of your tablet has been over-used, so it's somewhat boring now. try something new from MS with their new VersaTile UI, it's fresh, simple and straightforward. never cared to patent the name, doesn't care to sue someone.

i thought steve jobs said that their current ipad size is perfect and that smaller sizes makes no sense... now they copy the succesfull 7 inch tabelts?!
9. XPERIA-KNIGHT posted on 30 Sep 2012, 04:12 2
Cannot lie........it looks dope! sadly the same old ios is in there :(
Really liking Sony's tablet S and the nexus 7 tho :)
10. SwiftyMicvey posted on 30 Sep 2012, 04:12 2
They will always copy and say we made it the first and patent it so they can sue some other companies .
11. darac posted on 30 Sep 2012, 04:41 2
If they put an A6 processor and "retina" screen in this, it could very well become the first real touch gaming console - the size is just right.
Anyway, a smashing hit is on the way for Apple, but it will take a lot of buyers off the big brother - hardly anyone on the market for a new tablet will buy both ipad versions

I was one of those people who thought that taking a picture with a tablet was utterly stupid. But when you do it yourself, you get to see the advantages, one being that you can see the picture right away on a large high res screen the new ipad has. Especially that the new ipad's screen represents all colors faithfully and virtually perfectly. Editing the photo right away is a good thing as well. Hope the screen of this iPad mini would be as great as the one on the new iPad. I might consider selling mine for a smaller version and give my Nexus 7 to my small brother. Though I wouldnt really see the point because I also put my Nexus 7 on a small bag, the same bag I am placing my iPad. Playing games on the new iPad's screen is just a joy too.

Maybe your comment was bad and it got thumbed down?
24. Galen20K posted on 30 Sep 2012, 09:37 2
I don't see how they will bring this out seeing the way Apple has priced the iPod touch 5 models, the iPad mini just doesn't fit in anywhere Price wise. 299 to 399? iPod touch 399 and up? iPad regular... there's just no room, doesn't make sense with the way Apple has priced their products currently. Seriously doubt also that they'd drop the price of the iPod touch 5 ever even if they do bring the Mini out.

I'm sure everyone will have one soon. I wonder when this iNon-sense will end. There's a vast market that is just begging to be explored.

Apple is a joke, Funny to see them now wanna make a ipad mini with cheaper material's less Quality as the The new ipad. Competition forced this to happen its a fact that many people enjoy a 7" for portability reasons. CANT WAIT TO GRAB MY NOTEII its the in between perfect device and it will sell like hot cakes.

maybe it will turn out to be true.. coz all the leaks of iPhone 5 turns out to be the real one!
i think it will really compete with nexus 7 and kindle fire HD coz the new iPod touch are price higher but with memory of 32 and 64GB only! no 8GB version! so i think this mini will be 8GB and 16GB version!
