iPad mini.

 

[LagunaSol]

wow not even a year later?

iPad 3 owners must be pissed

I am livid. Thanks a lot apple.

I know, right? Companies should never update their stuff.

 

[jrswizzle]

poop 1024x768.....I'll need to see it in person to judge whether or not the res is up to snuff.

 

[tdream]

Well I am peeved they updated the iPad so soon. I mean officially 5 months since it was released in my country....

 

[chaosconan]

When can i order it?

 

[AppleInLVX]

what the **** are you talking about? It's not like your computer just got slower

YOU dish out 1000 bucks Canadian on a piece of hardware and have it obsoleted in under a year and see how that feels. No, it didn't get slower, but this is why I left Android. I thought at least I could get a year out of new stuff.

 

[Eidorian]

It looks like a Samsung phone.

Yeah, I'm getting Samsung Note vibes from this.

 

[Suzuku]

Like the little dig Schiller gave there with the "that's easier to remember". Yeah, 7.9 sure is easier than 7.85.

 

[gto55]

ipad mini 1024*768
No A6 ?

 

[840quadra]

I am livid. Thanks a lot apple.

Technology never stands still. Either they release something, or the competition releases something better every few months. It's part of the market.

 

[Genetheninja]

"great for portrait AND landscape"??? OMG just peed a little!

 

[Hell0W0rld]

no retina rip off

 

[seajewel]

163 ppi on the iPad mini.. no thanks. BUT ipad 4th gen!!

 

[mozumder]

So it looks like they'll save the Retina display for iPad mini for the next refresh.

 

[rorschach]

Yay, Apple just made iPad 3 obsolete and millions of iPad 3 users instant suckers.

Yeah? How's that?

Does the iPad 3 do any less than it did when you bought it?
What features have been removed from the iPad 3 today?

The only way it's "obsolete" is if you feel the need to have the latest and greatest purely for the sake of having the latest and greatest.

 

[Exio]

And people thought the ipad was an ipod touch xl, the ipad mini is exactly it.

 

[frayne182]

what are the damn specs?

 

[lizardofwoz]

That thin iMac is going to be really weird taking phone calls. Imagine holding that up to your ear?

 

[LagunaSol]

"Why does Apple stick with the yearly update cycle when Android devices are being updated constantly? Apple is being left behind."

"I can't believe Apple updated the iPad after only 7 months. I'M PISSED!"

I really don't understand people.

 

[kirk26]

I would rather have the 4th Gen. iPad.

 

[latestmonkey]

poop 1024x768.....I'll need to see it in person to judge whether or not the res is up to snuff.

Nexus 7 is 1280 x 800 right?

 

[iapplelove]

Damn a 4th gen iPad already!

Is it thinner?

 

[Steviejobz]

What's with all the vitriol because a company is mass manufacturing multiple versions of its products? People here expect to always have the latest as if Apple is only allowed to make one device a year.

This is good. Make these less of an event, more accessible, improve supply chain and more people can have more apple products.

People crying here like a bunch of spoiled kids. Good grief.

 

[jrswizzle]

Wow - when has Apple ever directly compared to another product??

 

[rjohnstone]

So they shrunk an iPad 2.
It's also still 4:3.
