I'm really digging the screen size and don't really care about the resolution, just hope the price is decent and I might just get my first iPad.

 

[lunarworks]

Shit, Apple. Calling Google out so directly may not be so smart.

 

[Stimpy]

Compare the price to the Nexus then I'll be impressed.

 

[yogloo]

Ipad mini looks like sex.
My ipad3 looks so ugly now.

 

[LyleLanley]

This is a bit dicky, to do a product comparison, Who actually does that?!

Don't all of the tech companies do this?

 

[Kiraly]

Google will murder Apple next week with their Samsung 10" tablet.

 

[Anticitizen One]

ipad mini is being released purely for the casuals and to mess with Microsoft. It's not aimed at us

 

[MThanded]

Damn this is gut punch.

Google will murder Apple next week with their Samsung 10" tablet.

Oh ok lol

 

[VoxPop]

HAH! So true

 

[Tiktaalik]

Even though I suppose it was a bit irrational, I was also hoping for a retina display.

 

[DJ_Lae]

All these comparisons have to be prepping everyone for a higher than expected price.

 

[Technosteve]

spec wars, yeah Apple i don't give a shit

 

[Majine]

Apple shitting on Nexus 7 hard :lol

 

[Divvy]

hehe this is getting vicious

 

[noah111]

Excellent examples;

4:3 ftw.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

iPad continuing to dominate the competition. Nice.

 

[Toki767]

Show Google Maps on the Nexus 7 vs iPad Mini...oh wait.

 

[dwebo]

ipads moving to a fall update schedule, I'd imagine. ipad3 needed a refresh more than the normal apple release, and the tech was ready now

 

[grimshawish]

Are they seriously boasting about having a bigger screen?

360 is just Xbox 1.5 man!

 

[polyh3dron]

lol scaled up phone experience.

DAGGER

Same shit I always say that people don't believe about Android tablets.

 

[flyover]

Odd to see Apple having to compare themselves to another product, rather than establishing the market. I actually don't think it's that necessary; the Mini will kill every other tablet anyway (barring a high price).

 

[kittens]

I was really excited to get the iPad Mini a few months ago, but then I bought my first smartphone, and a tablet feels completely redundant.

 

[darkwing]

well it shows what the Android tablet apps looks like

:|

 

[Zeppu]

Do side-by-side shots of Maps Apple!!

 

[Battlezone]

He's right about the apps, though. That's been my biggest disappointment with my N7.

 

[Tobor]

Nexus 7's 16:9 screen beats 4:3. Can't believe they're even arguing this.

4:3 is superior for tablets. Everybody knows this.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Oh, Apple...

Using superficial talking points as a way to trash other tablets? Not cool.

 

[golem]

ROFL Google just got clowned on

 

[Paznos]

Is Apple being to mean to Google?

 

[captmcblack]

All of these comments are irrelevant if this iPad mini isn't $200/$250 or something.

He is very right about these tablet apps though.

...however, is there tablet-specific functionality that happens in iPad apps vs say...iPhone apps?

 

[btkadams]

as an ipad 3 owner, i'm not really that peeved. i actually do notice slowdowns regularly on my ipad (with games i play), so i would definitely appreciate the spec bump, but it's no biggie. i wonder if this means we will start seeing semi-annual updates to ipads? 1 big update and 1 small spec bump, like the computers?

 

[Gareth Bale]

Why make a 'Mini' and then talk about how much larger it is?

 

[BertramCooper]

One of the nicest things about my Nexus 7 is that I can fit it in my pocket.

This? Probably not, I would think.

 

[Tiktaalik]

hahah "great experience, not great experience"

wow this is surprising this attacking.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Dem android apps are terrible. Thing I hate most about my nex7.

 

[ana]

Well it's true..

I have Nexus 7 and it's sorely missing tablet apps..

 

[Baconsammy]

Wow, Apple is really scared of Google now. Odd to see them do this.

 

[Majine]

Guess they cant compare Twitter anymore since Twitter fucked up their iPad app.

 

[GusBus]

299

 

[KingKong]

eh A5

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Just an A5? Should be an A5x AT LEAST.

So this means it can't run Infinity Blade. LAME.

 

[dc89]

Show Google Maps on the Nexus 7 vs iPad Mini...oh wait.

 

[systemfehler]

Really cool stuff so far but those cheap punches at the competition are really annoying - especially with "but the Mini is bigger" argument makes it hilarious.

 

[xxracerxx]

No A6 chip in iPad mini, no buy!

edit: haha, people did say this!

 

[orbkeller]

I just bought an iPad3 2 months ago. I want a refund.

 

[R1CHO]

One of the nicest things about my Nexus 7 is that I can fit it in my pocket.

This? Probably not, I would think.

Man, you are big.

 

[Angst]

Shit, Apple. Calling Google out so directly may not be so smart.

Google: "Let's look at the Note II compared to the new iPhone - our screen is soooort of a lot bigger and you don't have to squint to read your emails"

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

I hope they follow that color and design with the ipad 4. Want.

 

[Technosteve]

Google will murder Apple next week with their Samsung 10" tablet.

:lol don't know if serious

 

[victreeb3l]

black mini is so bought
