Nexus 7 getting owned ..

Shots FIRED

 

[Tobor]

Anyone that was expecting retina on the mini was delusional. No way to pull it off and make it so thin and light.

Certainly no way to pull it off and price it within reason.

 

[Enco]

So everything is thinner, but nothing is really that much better?

What more can they do?

Some slight speed improvements and that's about it.

We've pretty much reached a saturation point with technology. For now.

 

[Ceebs]

Still waiting on the price. It will make or break this.

 

[Kiraly]

Will they talk about resolution vs Google? Price?

 

[Majine]

The good thing is that iPad 1-2 resolution will be supported way longer in the future now.

 

[TheKaeptain]

What's the price?

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

You guys want Retina, but if it had it, you'd complain about the insane price.

 

[hyp]

jugular.

 

[smr00]

Anyone that was expecting retina on the mini was delusional. No way to pull it off and make it so thin and light.

They are saving it for the mini 2 which comes out in 6 months.

 

[Angst]

Lol, seems like the Nexus 7 has Apple scared. "Ours is bigger... nah nah nah"

 

[Str0ngStyle]

They Taking swings @ Nexus. Aww Hell

 

[x-Lundz-x]

LOL "Failed Miserably"

Shots Fired.

 

[NJ Shlice]

No retina and front 720p camera is insulting.

As an iPad 2 owner I would have pulled trigger quickly on this one. I'll wait for 6 months.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Google, kill these guys next week, please, pretty please.

 

[Judderman]

Google: "Just wait till Monday, motherfuckers."

 

[tnaden]

Google event on the 29th. Tune in for the comeback.

 

[xxracerxx]

Well, iPad 4 changes everything. I've been weighing up the pros and cons between getting an iPad (3) and Surface. Now with this announcement, all I can think is that my iPad 4 will be out of date in 6 months! It's actually making me even more hesitant to jump in even though it's a brand new model.

Haha, don't worry about it.

 

[kharma45]

I wonder if he will compare the resolution?

 

[MThanded]

Head hunting.

 

[Zeppu]

Oh apple, the one time you have bigger screens and you're flaunting. :lol

 

[KingKong]

Nah, it still needs an IGZO display and to go back to its previous thinness/charge times. And a new industrial design. It'll get an update, I think.

in March? lol piss off the iPad 3 and iPad 4 owners

 

[Cloudy]

Wow, shitting on Nexus. If ipad mini is under $300, Google's done

 

[CoilShot]

but whats the price....

 

[Yaboosh]

Are they seriously boasting about having a bigger screen?

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Lol, seems like the Nexus 7 has Apple scared. "Ours is bigger... nah nah nah"

No to see what they do about the Nexus 7 price.

 

[Darko]

"You aint about this life google"

 

[djplaeskool]

Re: Shots Fired
Unless the iPad mini is $200, then whatever.

 

[Stat Flow]

The reason they must be bringing this up HAS to be because of a competitive price!

 

[Reave]

Shots fired.

 

[Subliminal]

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

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

so this is the kind of stuff apple fans gobble up every year? "look at their device! so much plastic!"

 

[mrkgoo]

It's a pretty minor rev. They can't go into Christmas selling something with a dock connector.

Can't go both ways saying a double bump in speed as minor in one product but significant in another.
New processor. iPad mini looks way better in black. The none uniform bezel is weird, but makes iPad fat look....well, fat.

 

[Brinbe]

Firing shots when you're going first won't work out so well.

 

[dc89]

New iMac = Stunning
iPad Mini in Black = Stunning

 

[T.M. MacReady]

Oh apple, the one time you have bigger screens and you're flaunting. :lol

seriously, how petty.

 

[massoluk]

Compare the resolution you son of a ..., I double dare you.

lol

 

[TOP SHOTTA]

Thats an amazing display but where is the actual computer?

In its gunt.

Spoiler

The systems components are shoved together in the back-center of the screen where it bulges out.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

4th gen iPad eh?

Interesting...

 

[freshair]

1280x800 vs 1024x768

mhmmmmmm

 

[golem]

Damn, murdering it

 

[R1CHO]

50% larger? The fuck!

 

[Totakeke]

Anyone that was expecting retina on the mini was delusional. No way to pull it off and make it so thin and light.

"This is impossible."

"How impossible?"

 

[8bit]

Isn't the Nexus less than half the price? You could buy two!

 

[Alex]

1024x768 is pretty fucking shitty, fragmentation or not, you have a phone that's higher res than your tablet.

 

[JackEtc]

Where are the specs and prices? Come on Apple.

 

[NIghtWolf]

so i guess it will be $300 since hes trying hard to make it different from the nexus?

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

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