iPad Mini, A success? Or a Fail?

So, Apple just unveiled the new "iPad Mini" and to be honest, I'm not sure what this device is suppose to be, is it a affordable, "innovative" 7 (7.9) inch tablet? or is it a enlarged iPod touch/smaller iPad made to take money from consumers?

Well I'm pretty sure this isn't innovative because, there are many 7 inch and a few 8 inch tablets that already are floating out there. So basically, this is an over priced device that stumped people who bought the 5th gen iPod touch which costs 299 bucks. So what is this device? This is a device that makes the iPod Touch meaning less, but then Apple is greedy, so they want to keep the iPod Touch 5th gen at 299 dollars. So basically, this device is another on of Apple's "creations" to puppet innocent consumers around.

Specs wise, compared to the Nexus 7 (I love this device) the iPad Mini has a 7.9 inch display, .9 inches larger than the Nexus 7. This also features an Aluminum back with a very nice finish to the sides to blend the glass and aluminum. I admit, this does look very attractive however, here is the catch. The Nexus 7 features top of the line specs, however the iPad Mini has the same processor from a device a generation ago. This is the same with the iPod Touch, so basically, iPod Touch buyers got scammed bing time, and the iPad Mini shouldn't even win the competition with the Nexus 7 and other devices.

The only reason why Apple is able to sell millions of devices without people questioning why the device costs so much and if there are any alternates, is because Apple is a giant bag full of BS. The iPhones, iPad, Ipods, Macbooks, iMacs, they all look great, the OS is beautiful, but NOTHING is actually "functional". A Mac has a beautiful and attractive OS, however, it is not as functional compared to Windows. iOS is beautiful, however compared to Android OS, it lacks innovation compare to Android. Android went from a terrible, buggy OS to a very nice looking AND functional OS in about 2-3 year. iOS was always the same, the dock on the bottom, the same looking icons, etc.

The iPad Mini may be a success for this generation, however, when people realize the lack of creativity and innovation of Apple, Apple will die. The only reason Apple is still alive, is because Jonny Ive is a magnificent designer. Without him, Apple would have been dead the moment Steve Jobs died.

Apple iPad Mini Event

 Apple announced Tuesday that it has scheduled an event for Oct. 23, at which it is widely expected to introduce a smaller version of the iPad, dubbed the "iPad mini." The "iPad mini" is believed to be a seven-or-so-inch tablet with a sub-$300 price tag. The current iPad lineup starts at $399 for the year-old iPad 2 and $499 for the third-generation iPad, both of which have a near-10-inch screen. The "iPad mini is rumored to have a 7.85 inch retina display with an internal storage of 8GB or 16GB. Keep following us for more details as they come in.

iPad Mini Rear housing LEAKED!

Images that purport to be the rear shell of the long rumored iPad Mini have surfaced in China.

Rumors that Apple is working on a 7-inch iPad Mini have been picking up speed as of late, and the fact that emails related to such a device were used in court this week only adds to the speculation that it is a reality.  Now Apple.pro has uncovered some images on Chinese micro blogging site Sina Weibo that appear to be the back metal case of such a device.  The original poster has no history of Apple leaks, so there is no way to judge how accurate he is, but as leaks go, this doesn’t look like something could whip up too easily in an afternoon.

Should the images turn out to be the real deal, of interesting note is the lack of any hole for a rear-facing camera. The Nexus 7, the current darling of the 7-inch form factor, is also lacking a rear shooter despite having a space on the board for one.  Is it a way to cut costs?  Do manufacturers not think its essential?  We don’t know as of yet, but it is an interesting trend.

Rumors abound that the iPad Mini will make its debut with the iPhone 5 next month, but we’ll just have to wait and see what Apple has up its sleeve.
