Title: No iPad Mini thread?
Post by: Horney on 23 October 2012, 20:00
I'm surprised. I thought Jay would be all over one telling us how much better a Android something or other is.

Seems overpriced to me.

Gutted to those who have just bought an iPad 3!

Sorry to disappoint, I was at parents / teachers evening  :kiss:


BTW, I'm still not impressed by any Android tablets. Not even the Nexus 7.

Its not even an iphone, apple have lost it completely. Where they were once the trend setters they are now chasing the market. Spend ages convincing you that no one wants a 7" screen and no one ever will so release the ipad then 4 gen later (the gap between the 3 and the latest release was actually less time than it would take to produce a baby) have to release a 'mini' because they got it wrong.

They then go on to tell you how important having super hi def screens are for the Iphone range and how improvements to this are a good thing then with the mini having a lower res screen they say it doesn't make a difference as it is smaller!?

The new macbook is a bag of sh!te from a sustainability point of view and apple actually forced EPEAT to change legislation as the laptop was so terrible from an environmental point i.e. glued in batteries and screens etc. otherwise they would pull all their products from the EPEAT rating system. As a company that is f**king discusting

Granted it's same resolution as the iPad2, however the pixels are smaller and crammed into a smaller viewing area giving it a better pixel per inch ratio than the iPad2.

Im not questioning that, im just pointing out the blatent lies they tell for marketing. 'YOU NEED A HI RES SCREEN COS IT IS BETTER' then when it suits them 'YOU DONT NEED IT AS HIGH RES COS ITS SMALLER, HOW CLEVER ARE WE'

Warning: iPad may fall out of dash under heavy acceleration, on rough roads or during rear-impacts.

It's just held in by frickin magnets, on one side by the looks of it, too.  :rolleyes:

Lizzie's bought a 32GB wifi one in Black. Can't get her off the thing, she loves it. Her Netbook has been consigned to the bin.

I wouldn't say they're loosing the plot, like many are saying - they're diversifying like other companies are. I think the rose tinted glasses are loosing the rosey tint too :wink:

no matter, we'll all be using eyePhones soon

I might, if they put a Retina in one...

We have a ipad3 and I find it just a bit large and heavy for holding, browsing on the sofa for any length of time.
