Are you guys ready for the iPad Mini?

[url=http://www.t3.com/news/apple-ipad-mini-rumours]Link[/url] and [url=http://www.slashgear.com/ipad-mini-mockup-shows-up-in-hd-video-29249703/]newer link[/url]

Apple is creating a smaller tablet to compete with ASUS'/Google's Nexus 7, Samsung's 7 inch Galaxy Tab, Amazon's Kindle Fire, and Microsoft's upcoming/revamped tablets.

The iPad Mini will supposedly feature:
[*]An 8MP camera
[*]A 7 inch screen
[*]iOS6
[*]A5X Processor
[*]A $250~$400 price tag (16/32/64GB models)

If Steve Jobs was alive, a 7-inch Apple tablet [url=http://www.slashgear.com/jobs-7-inch-tablets-doa-android-is-fragmented-not-open-19108634/]would never exist[/url].

The same goes with the current iPhone 5 design.

[quote=malapo]It's either the iPad Mini or Nexus 7 for me. I'm mainly leaning towards the Nexus 7, since I'll be using it for media. But I'll wait and see what the iPad mini has.
edit: Then again, there's that 8GB limit and no MicroSD. Although I think it does USB OTG.[/quote]
I bought the 16GB one, and it's fine since I don't put music on it. Plus being able to use flash drives via OTG is great.

Too bad
>>>>>>NO HDMI; WHY GOOGLE?

The only reason I would get a tablet is for convenience as far as taking notes in class goes. But until I run out of bulk packs of 8x11.5 notepads, I am good.

They're good for reading e-books/e-textbooks and browsing the Internet.

That's about it.

We're going to have a family of iProducts now.

The iPad is the daddy. The iPad Mini is the mommy. The iPhone 5 is the big brother. The iPod Touch is the little sister. The iPod Nano is the pet dog.

:3

Please kill them all.
