'iPad Mini' Billed as a Nexus 7 Killer
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2406688,00.asp
I know Damon (the article author) is probably trolling, but boy oh boy, how many other websites are reporting this as "news".
Wow.
I couldn't stop laughing (ROTFLOL etc) when I read this, fun times ahead Apple is probably having sleepless nights with its dropping market share to Android, Samsung (oh and did I hear RIM collaborating with MSFT... Ha ha ha awesome).

as much as this is floating around, many believe it won't happen as Jobs said himself he doesn't like that form factor. Not to mention it doesn't seem like apple since they're notorious for over charging for things. Then again who knows.

The iPad mini would probably be really expensive and won't compete directly to the nexus 7, but i know people will still buy it because its Apple. Its sad that Android has a reputation of being difficult to understand when they're both about the same in terms of ease of use.

Not to be blunt, but Jobs is gone, and there are MANY within Apple who knew he was nuts. There is no doubt in my mind Apple will try to compete in this size and price point, they won't just give it to Google.

Heh... This had to come, Apple fans are probably unable to digest the Nexus 7 in its current form (and at its current price point). Another twat article I caught about this "Nexus 7 killer tag" which started with the following lines "The hunter becomes the hunted"... stopped right there, was a Damon Poeter clone.

Judging the by the price of their iPod Touch, a $199 price for a 7" is very unlikely.

Rumors of a ipad mini has been around for months

You keep worrying about what's going to come out after your purchase and you'll never buy anything.

I have no doubt Apple will release a 7 inch tablet to replace the iPod touch which is pretty much useless in there product line right now. Why get the iPod when you can get the iPhone for about the same price subsidized. They need another product they can market as filling a nitch the that their other products don't.

So you think Apple cares what everyone whats, or that they will change the product line in a way to sustain the most profit.
Here check out the iPod sales compared to iPhones and iPads with only about half of them being Touch sales.

They are do for a refresh and the need something the stand apeart from the iPhone and the iPad. Hence the will come out with a 7 inch iPod touch to fill the gap. The current touch is just too similar to the iPhone.

Apple has NEVER built low cost hardware going all the way back to the Apple II. The whole business is built on selling overpriced, nice looking hardware to prissy buyers with lots of disposable income. I can not imagine them fighting for the $199 entry level tab market.
And like one poster said... an 8gb iPOD TOUCH is selling for $199

Cool, another tablet for me to waste my money on. Bash the iPad all you want, but it is still the best tablet on the market and a 7" version will be just as awesome. Can't wait.

Size? Yes, probably. Price point? Highly doubt it. Apple has never released a "competing" device that hasn't been "overpriced" (in my opinion) for the same hardware. I see their 7" device being in the $300 to $350 range for around the same performance and the fanboys will eat it up.

Best Buy employee duh

So I went to bb today to see if they carried the Nexus or accessories. I glanced and didn't see it so I of course walked over to the "computer" employee working that area.
Asked her if they carried the new Google tablet. She asked me who made it, what the name of it was, and other questions that I would think a bb computer employee would know.
After answering her questions she goes to look but I knew at this point they didn't have anything. When she returns she says, "we don't have that but I do have the ipad"
I was speechless

You can say a lot of things about Apple, but as a product itself, the iPad isn't overpriced or underspecced.

It is and I'll continue to say along with them being a patent troll to eliminate competition and consumer choice. I started out on Apple but don't buy that overpriced underspecced crap anymore.

As a BB employee I can say that a good majority of staff only know about the products in the department they work in. Just because we are near a department does not mean we work in said department. We generally do not sell the entire store. Also, we don't care which products you buy because we do not work on commission and even if we did we make the least amount of money (as a store) on apple products.

The iPad is overpriced and underspec'd. It's literally twice the price of the Nexus 7, only has a dual-core CPU (Nexus 7 is 4+1), and only has 4 graphic stream processors (Nexus 7 has 12). Once more, the iPad is overpriced and underspec'd.

Yep, along with no built-in GPS for a $499 iPad3 16GB WIFI. I'll take one Nexus 7 over that piece of turd any day and the fact that you can buy two Nexus 7's for the same price as that one turd is just icing on the cake.

As a second bb employee, I can confirm this. The majority of people I work with didn't know about the Nexus 7 when I got it, since it's not anything we carry it's not really anything they need to know.
And too touch on that apple part, we make close to zero money on apple products, so I promise there's no reason to push them.

The A5X has an SGX 543MP4, that is 4 graphics processors (not just 4 cores) in one SoC, totaling 16 cores, 32 GFLOPS (vs about 10 in the Tegra 3 T30L).
Has dual channel DDR2 memory (vs single channel DDR2 in the Tegra 3).
An aluminum body.
The highest 264 DPI display in a tablet.
Amazing looking color quality.
I understand it is cool to hate on Apple. But let's not go nuts and say it's under specced. The iPad 3 is a beast. And I was shocked with such a great display they were able to stay at the $500 price tag, that is thanks to their bulk buying power no doubt.

That makes perfect sense

Thought about it! I worked in retail as a general manager for years and I always knew what we did and did not have. And as the GM I had to know the whole store so I'd expect the computer section person to know that department.
I was actually recruited by best buy one time but its hard to move up.
Anywho, when I got home I ordered a case online for under $7. Its a snap on kind with screen protector like my note had.
rambling done now

Idiot retailers.

Whats weird about the picture lol of the Nexus 4?
I hope no one buys this device from retailers. If anything, retailers sell it for the same price as google will. I'll be purchasing the N4 in the next few months because i feel like they will pull another nexus 7 move and release a 32GB version in the next few months for the price of the 16GB Version. Im still sad about it.
Don't mind the thread. Just a little fun until the device releases.
EDIT: the joke is.. why is there a big *** blue samsung sticker above the phone? And hey, they will sell you a replacement battery for the nexus for since removing the battery is noob friendly for an additional 60$. Whose stoked to buy?

Great retailer...
Samsung LG...Copied + Pasted info from Google Play (notice how it is incorrectly formatted and doesn't fit in the page's margins)...Massively Overpriced...need say more?

The Samsung logo is there on purpose to confuse consumer, people only know two brands, Apple and Samsung, most never even heard the name Android and can't grasp a concept of what an operating system is. So LG and Nexus are not enough buzzwords but a Samsung is. This retailer has horrible ethic.

Hey they're on Devon Ave in Chicago the Indian street...lol. Yeah I wouldn't trust this retailer. All of the electronic stores in that area are pretty fishy...only if you're desperate.

Hahaha SAMSUNG LG GOOGLE
Hope no one buys it

Hey, it has free shipping anyway
But dang, just take a look at the other phones they offer and their prices. I know a iPhone 5 might be a bit pricey, but I'm pretty sure a 16GB model isn't worth $1,099.99 lol; and even a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (which is a bit dated) is worth the same price...

Backpage Deal For a Note II

Well, I hate to be posting this in a topic I have no idea if it will fit here. But I am looking for answers before i take a dive. I've been emailing this dude on Backpage and have been thinking about going through with a deal for a T-Mobile Note 2 for 350. Which honest to god seems too good to be true.I went on there because I heard that you have to pay for a membership to get in and I figured, why would this guy have a membership and be able to legally scam people if he wasn't legit? He's also telling me to go through Google Checkout and that there will be an email that i have to reply to that says that my payment will be secure and insured. (Obviously, I've never used it before.) Ships from Romania and after I get the package I have 30 days to return it to get my money back.
My question is, Should I go for it? I really need a new phone since my SGS II is having trouble holding a charge and my wife is giving me the ok to go ahead and do it, but honestly, seems too good to be true. He says he has friends in the factory and a contract with UPS to get cheap shipping. :x Help me out guys?

In all honesty, Don't take the deal? Says I have before the 15th.

A lot of people do that, if you google these kinda deals, you will find that a lot is a scam, they offer low prices cause they buy in bulk, but in the end either you will get a empty box or a china version of the same phone

If you don't really need anything right now just save it until you have an idea. I don't know about your situation and if you're going to college and if financial aid/parents/etc will cover your costs - but that $300 will be eaten up very quickly and it's fantastic to be able to start saving before you get there if you're not getting "all expenses paid and more".
Of course, it's always nice to treat yourself! You said no phones, but what about something cheap like a Nexus One ? Buy that, save the rest. You will find a smartphone VERY useful for college, especially if you will be moving out and doubly so if you're going to be in a new area. Learn to use it now and be ready!
