iPad Mini price splits T3 readers

With the iPad Mini now tackling the small tablet market we asked T3 readers which they would choose over a Nexus 7, Kindle Fire HD and the new iPad Mini

 

The Apple iPad Mini is a great product but its price point is just too high in the current market, or at least that's according to the majority of readers who responded to a question on our Facebook page.

We asked readers which tablet they would choose out of the 16GB iPad Mini, 16GB Google Nexus 7 and the 16GB Kindle Fire HD and the response was unanimous with the majority of readers choosing the Nexus 7 thanks to its open platform and attractive pricing.

James Ivan praised Android's open source positives suggesting it provided "More freedom for paying less. heck, I'd go with nexus."

On the other hand Simon Williams argues that Apple's closed ecosystem is worth the premium saying "Apple's app ecosystem is worth the £100, plus its connectivity to the iPhone and the Mac. There is no choice."

That said, readers have found the price of the iPad Mini to be a sticking point with its lower specs being a particular problem, as pointed out by LeInad Flosa who blunty sums it up saying "£269 for a tablet with a 4S specs...thats fooling the consumer."

Apple are not without their fans though as those who did choose the iPad Mini were aware of the price hike but still felt that it was value for money as in the case of John Murphy.

"iPad Mini, because it looks gorgeous, tonnes more apps, cheap, and because apple know how to support and make products last, think about it, a 3 year old product (3GS) still supports iOS6."

Apple iPad Mini specs:

The new iPad Mini comes in black and white and is just 7.2mm thick, around a quarter thinner than the 4th generation of iPads. The device weighs just 0.68 lbs. "It's as light as a pad of paper," said Schiller. "We were going to say book, but books are heavier!"

The iPad Mini has the same screen resolution as the iPad 2, but it's screen size is 1024 x 768 with a 7.9 inch multi-touch display. The iPad Mini delivers the same iPad experience users have come to expect in a design that has 35 percent more screen real estate than 7-inch tablets.

Nexus 4 to be announced on October 29?

LG Nexus 4 smartphone is to be announced on October 29th, according to an LG spokesperson

LG's Head of Mobile Product Planning, Amit Gujral, has confirmed in an interview with news site IBNLive that LG's Nexus 4 phone will be revealed at Google's forthcoming Android event on October 29th.

"Google will unveil the LG Nexus on October 29 and the phone will be available in the Indian markets by the end of November," Gujral said.

The Nexus 4 is expected to be powered by a 1.5GHz quadcore processor with 2GB of RAM and running on the Android 4.2 operating system. The Nexus 4 will contain 8GB-16GB of onboard space but it has no MicroSD. The device will also boast a 4.7 inch HD screen (720 x 1280), and 8-megapixel camera, and a non-removable battery.

While Gujral confirmed the device will be available for purchase in India by the beginning of December, analysts state it would be quite unlikely that the Nexus 4 wouldn't launch globally around the same time.

iPad Mini rumours: Release will see WiFi-only, 3G and 4G models

The latest Apple iPad Mini rumour to surface brings with it more worrying news for the likes of the Google Nexus 7 and the Amazon Kindle Fire HD who will be hoping to stay on top

 

The latest iPad Mini news suggests that Apple will be releasing 24 variants of the iPad Mini with four different storage options as well as two colour choices and options for WiFi-only, 3G and 4G.

Including 4G could be a real selling point for many by combining what will probably be a budget tablet but with super-fast 4G technology. The leaked specs sheet also suggests that Apple will be offering an 8GB model giving more variety over the New iPad which currently starts at 16GB.

There had been talk that Apple would be releasing the iPad Mini in a variety of colours however if the specs sheet is anything to go by then it looks like the company will be sticking with its two-tone option of Black or White.

iPad Mini: 'Special Event'

Just a few days ago Apple released an invite to the media for an event taking place on October 23 claiming to have "a little more to show you.” It's believed that this will be the point Apple will unveil its new iPad Mini as well as an updated Mac Mini and a 13-inch MacBook Retina Display.

Google stocks slump despite record $14 billion quarter

Despite a big announcement around the corner and the critical acclaim its Nexus 7 tablet has received Google had a shock yesterday when its shares actually dropped

 

Google have posted a record breaking quarter with revenues of $14.10 billion but an embarrassing leak of the results early in the day whilst the stock market was still open resulted in a sharp decrease in value of shares because the results didn’t meet expectations.

Google blamed financial printer PR Donnelley for the mistake which capped an embarrassing day for it as YouTube went offline and the release of Google’s new Samsung Chromebook was leaked early.

The SEC document, which is provided to the stock market and investors was leaked so early that it lacked any comment from Google on the results and had a placeholder marked “PENDING LARRY QUOTE” referring to Larry Page, CEO of Google.

The document showed Google reporting $14.10 billion in revenue and EPS of $6.53, which missed most analyst predictions - they were expecting $14.7 billion in revenue. The stock quickly began to suffer; going down around 9% by the time trading was halted at 12:50 pm US Eastern time.

All in all revenues were reported as being up 45 percent compared with Q3 2011, but GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) net income was down 20 percent year-over-year to $2.18 billion ($6.53 per share), as compared with $2.73 billion in Q3 2011 ($8.33 per share). The decline was due to rising costs.

In a statement following the leak Google's CEO Larry Page remained positive about Google's future saying,

"Now we took a big bet on Android back in 2005. We believed that aligning standards around an open source operating system would drive innovation across the industry. Most people thought we were nuts."

"Today there are over half a billion Android devices-half a billion - with 1.3 million more being activated every day. You should all run out and buy the Nexus 7 tablet for $199. It’s had rave reviews and recently won “Gadget of the Year” from T3, the gadget experts."

Motorola’s hardware business brought in $2.58 billion in revenue ($1.78 billion from mobile and $797 million from home). Its operating loss was $527 million. However, despite the loss from Motorola that extra revenue pushed Google over the $14 billion mark for the first time in 14 years.

Google are expected to announce new products on October 29th at their New York press event which will most likely involve a new flagship Nexus phone and high resolution retina-display style tablet

32GB Google Nexus 7 on the way for £199.99?

The arrival of a 32GB Google Nexus 7 in the UK appears imminent after a source confirmed Argos will feature the device in its upcoming Christmas Gift Guide

 

The 32GB will take the place of the 16GB model at the near-identical price of £199.99. Something we can't imagine sitting well with current 16GB Galaxy Nexus 7 owners.

The increase in storage size makes the Google Nexus 7 (named the T3 Gadget of the Year 2012) an even more formidable purchase. And, thanks to the near-certainty of Apple's rumoured iPad Mini, this will surely guarantee tablet carnage come Yuletide.

What remains to be seen is whether the 8GB version of the Nexus 7 will continue to be sold at £159.

Over in the USA, Staples Advantage is apparently displaying placeholders for the 32GB Nexus 7 for $250 - practically matching the $249 price for the 16GB version.

If you haven't picked one yet, then check out our in-depth Google Nexus 7 review. If, on the other hand, you've just dropped £189 on a 16GB version and need to vent, let us know in the comments box below.
