Ask me about the GAF Notebook
That's only because the current Nexus already priced dropped.
Think of it this way. The 16 gig mode is actually launching $20 CHEAPER than the OG Nexus 7 did for the 16 gig model.
Huh? I upload videos (all steps on the phone) taken from my phone of my daughter to Facebook all the time.

Fail.
Also looks like it's 4.6" rather than 4.3" going by the DPI figure. Fail. That's another major Android OEM not taking advantage of the gap in the market with a full featured mini flagship.
Let's hope Sony don't fail with the i1 mini...

Hang on a minute here.
edit: Okay, what the fuck. Since when did Facebook have video? I admit I don't use Facebook much, but I just recorded a short video and uploaded it to Facebook. Mind blown.

they've have video forever. i figured that the android app must have not supported it based on your comment.

Wow, they've had video for 6 years. I just lost a lot of futuristic motherfucker points, didn't I?
Yeah it's supported but they don't make it obvious or anything. You just shoot your video with your Camera app, hit the Share button, and choose Facebook.
it's 4.3"

As per HTC press release
"Distilling the iconic design of the HTC One, this new addition to the family combines a 4.3 display and powerful dual-core 1.4 GHz processor. It also runs the latest version of Android with HTC Sense®, bringing HTCs flagship mobile experience to style-seekers who demand premium looks and performance."

Looks much better than the first gen.
Shame about the wrong aspect ratio that makes it look like one of these comically large phones.

HTC Half indeed
well, at 1800mAh, at least it doesn't have half the battery!
edit: back is aluminum but sides are plastic... no OIS, no NFC, no IR blaster... wow.
AND WHY IS IT SO TALL!?!?

Nexus 7 2 is meh. I'll wait for the next version. Or buy a next gen 10. Still not sure.
Google really really really needs to sort out an airplay type solution. And add support for Sonos devices. For a company pushing cool shit like glass, they really are lacking in important fundamentals.
Glad All access music was released in Australia today though

Looks fucking sweet to me, design improved over the orignal, 1080p screen with highest PPI of any tablet (I think), better specs, no tegra BS.

HTC gone fucked up. This was their chance to release a small phone with S600 and 32GB and basically take the fight to Apple in their market and differentiate themselves from the S4 mini.
FWIW One mini vs Xperia SP:
SP:
130.6 x 67.1 x 10 mm
4.6" 720p
1.7GHz dual core Krait
Adreno 320
1GB RAM
8GB+MicroSD
LTE
8MP Exmor RS
2370mAh
One mini:
132 x 63.2 x 9.3 mm
4.3" 720p
1.4GHz dual core Krait
Adreno 305
1GB RAM
16GB
4MP Ultrapixel
LTE
1800mAh
Bolded specs are better. Plus the SP will get the same camera software update the Z and ZL got recently for better detail and HTC's 4MP is pretty poor so far and this is lacking the OIS which makes it worthwhile.

Just not worth the upgrade for me just yet.
the OG still does everything I need. Unless the new one has Miracast? Does anybody know?
There are only a handful of densities that Android devices can be assigned - 120, 160, (213), 240, 320 or 480. It's so app developers can provide image assets targeted to those densities and they won't need to be scaled up or down which could make them look blurry.
It means though that when the real display density doesn't match the assigned system density, stuff on the screen will appear either larger or smaller than the "default" size. A funny result of this is that internally Android sees the 4.3" One Mini and the 5" Galaxy S4 as having the exact same screen size - both have a density-independent resolution of 640x360. So for example if you viewed the same spreadsheet on both devices you would see exactly the same number of rows and columns on both despite one screen having an area more a third larger than the other.

So same old HTC.
Ouch! HTC had a chance to dominate the mini phone market and possibly steal some iPhone users who refused to use bigger screens but they dun goofed

So free on contract? The one has been floating from $50-$100 on sprint and AT&T.

Which is stupid. Samsung have already hit S4 margins with the S4 mini, and now HTC are going to fall into the same trap. People will just think they are getting a HTC One for half the cost like they do with the S4 mini.
I'm not saying they shouldn't make a small budget phone. They should make a top of the range small phone that is priced similarly to the flagship for people who don't want to compromise on specs but still want a smallish package. The fact that this phone has a poor spec and isn't small is just a doubly stupid.

It needs to be at least $200/£150 cheaper than the One to have any success.
No one knows for sure, but I'd assume so since all the newer chipsets support it.
And the HTC one mini is a worse phone then the Xfone. Boo yah.

Looks like the original nexus 7 and the iPad mini had a beautiful baby to me. With a sprinkle of the nexus 10 style plastic back for good measure. Day one.Looks much better than the first gen.
Shame about the wrong aspect ratio that makes it look like one of these comically large phones.
Even my now 'dated' Xperia T seems a better choice over OneMini.
I don't think it is when you get more screen in the same size package

Considering the physical size of the devices are almost identical it's worth pointing out that you get more real estate with the SP in an almost identically sized package.
Oh, what a fail, the RRP is apparently £399 which is £50 more than the SP and S4 mini. It's going to get wiped out at retail at £399 vs the SP and S4 mini.

Either that or Xperia SP. Depends on the price of XFON though because SP is $390 offline from Sony which is a pretty good deal.
I would hope that moto would come in under 300 on price, and double the ram, and a wood back

Dat wood...
Expectations. Everyone expected a S4 and got a mini
Depends on how you define the screen range and exclude the HTC One.

The new google analytics app is pretty awesome. I'd love a little more detailed drill down, but it's pretty awesome nonetheless.

I think people wanted the first "Motorola - A Google Company" phone to be more of an Alpha phone, than a Beta Phone. That's all.
It's obvious that Moto and Google are going for a different segment of the market, which has potential for a lot of growth (mid to lower end phones).
http://youtu.be/MJzv1HmfuaE?t=38m
i define the screen range in relation to size of the phone, which excludes the one because boomsound makes the phone huge.
Where are the specs?
of the One Mini and the S4 Mini? Or of the xfon?
XFON
1.7ghz Dual Core Krait
Adreno 320
2GB RAM
16gb Internal Storage
1196 x 720 ~4.6" Screen
10mp/2mp Camera
Thanks, I saw the other two. Not bad at all on this. Make it 299 and market it right and it should sell well.
4.3 is GOD UPDATE

Well hey, at least they got a basic feature into the OS before 2014. Good going google!

Yea, here in Buffalo I'm not sure about 4g LTE coverage at least. I checked the maps but got different impressions from two different maps. I am sort of wondering how the Softbank stuff will turn out, but it's too early to tell. I don't want to rush into getting an older phone too, since it's close to prime new device season.
