iPad 4 Gen is indeed impressive. A6X processor ... stereo speakers ... 720P front camera.

You have been successfully brainwashed...
MAN,They just announced the new iPad last march...
What the heck are they doing....

Really?

Android phones get released ... like ... weekly ... with improvements here and there along the way ... and yet Apple cannot release a new product 6 months later?

People buys Apple because of their Device's Expectations....
If they continue to release so early like this people will start to feel boring...

Well let's not compare apples to oranges, in this case apples to androids. There are a dozen Android manufacturers, each producing a new product at any one time.

Also, I don't think people are upset over Apple releasing a new product 6 months later, but rather the fact that the hardware in the iPad 4 should've been released in the first place with the iPad 3. It looks an awful lot like they are just trying to make money instead of just making a good product that people will enjoy for some time. People are paying $500 for these things. I can pay $200 for a tablet that has a quad-core processor that will probably last me for the next 2 years, if not more.

You can't enjoy Apple products because of their price? I think there are a lot of people out there do enjoy what Apple has offer to the public and willing to pay its price. In Apple's theory, newest hardware is not necessary to the iOS. Can you flip to the other way and say all Android products run too fast with all these NEWest hardwares without much optimizations of their own software? (I use a Galaxy Nexus and enjoy it a lot more than most Android phones out there) Stick with Android buddy and don't worry about Apple too much =)

Awesome post full of useless info no one will listen to. People will instead go out, and buy what they want be it android apple, or windows. More people will follow my idea than yours.

I was not saying that people can't enjoy Apple products because of their price. People can enjoy a $5000 flat screen television, but it doesn't mean there isn't a $2000 flat screen television with the same features at a more comparable price. That is the difference. You are paying $120 more for a product that has comparable or even worse features than something for a lot less. I'm not saying people cannot enjoy said product, but I'm saying that you can get a similar product for a lot less.

Android does not release weekly, dozens of OEMs do with all different looks, sizes and specs. So to answer your question, no, no they cannot.

"We saw that people loved the iPhone and when we launched the iPad mini, it was astounding. All the features of an iPad into a light weight hand sized device which great surface area. We thought to ourselves, hey why not put them both together? When we put them together we got the a new revolutionary and remarkable device. We did the impossible, a 5.9" device. Not too big for the hand, not too small for the screen size. A better iPhone, a better iPad mini. We introduce to you, the iPhad."
Or some sh*t like that.

I can only laugh hahahahahhaahhaahahhaha.

Can anyone tell me please what is new in the iPad Mini apart from its size? This is just another piece of s**t which is overpriced and overrated same as its predecessors.

How's that? Other than the fact that u obviously hate apple (which we get from all your other posts) your comment made no sense at all.

53. Goldeneye posted on 23 Oct 2012, 14:34 0 1

As a matter of fact the thin bezel is quite nice, something the Nexus or kindles don't have.

55. AnTuTu posted on 23 Oct 2012, 14:36 0 2

Are you going to spend around $500 - $600 for that bezel? come on mate talk something which makes sense.

65. Goldeneye posted on 23 Oct 2012, 15:19 1 1

Did I say that I'm gonna buy one? If that's the case is not your business, just don't be a blind fanboy kid, all I said was that the thin bezel is something the other mini tablets lack, jeez!

10. theoak posted on 23 Oct 2012, 13:07 1 0

$329 for 16GB WiFi version

Add $130 for LTE

14. KingKurogiii posted on 23 Oct 2012, 13:13 2 0

they blew it if they wanted to take sales from the Nexus 7. the 16GB Nexus 7 is about to be a whole $130 cheaper than the 16GB iPad Mini and the 32GB Nexus 7 is $180 cheaper than the 32GB iPad Mini

Dude they are Obviously under pressure, have you ever seen Apple doing such in dept comparison with the nexus even when the nexus was not advertised as a thin tab? Look how they skipped their market share and jumped to web traffic and introduced a new iPad Lol

And I finally got my n7 I love it so far it feels light and nice to the hand it also has a size that fits on my pocket or a small bag :D Happy happy

You sound stupid. Apple is under pressure from who? Take your android blinders off and stop marching to these companies beats. The mini will obiterate your N7 in sales. Why not just enjoy your N7 and stop wishing for a companies downfall. Android fanboys are the funniest people in the world!

58. protozeloz posted on 23 Oct 2012, 14:39 0 0

I'm not wishing for a company downfall, I think many articles talk about this pressure everywhere, I'm not inventig this, bit I guess you at too blind to see a company holding an 80%+ is now down to nearly half market share in less than a year to the point they didn't bragged about market share numbers this time around like they did on the iPhone announcement, its obvious competition is hitting them and by competition I do not mean nexus 7 only

Lol, thumbs down for an honest observation? It isn't my fault Apple stole the design from Samsung.

Apple do not sell anything at bargain. Sorry to break you to this news

41. alfiehp21 posted on 23 Oct 2012, 13:45 0 0

I know that. What i'm saying is, that if the product where priced around 229 - 259, maybe i will consider buying it. also, i know i'm not the only one who thinks this way.

62. WakaFlakaD posted on 23 Oct 2012, 15:02 0 0

That's why there are Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD for you to choose =)

Specks size and everything only matters when. It favors them loved how they compared the screen with the N7 and claimed how better things look on a bigger screen, but hey Google should do the same with they release the nexus next Monday and compare 4" long vs 4.7" long-wide
