Welldone Apple! Congratulations Apple fanboys! (in sarcastic way)

...except Maps hahaha

I think they are breaching Samsung's patents by launching such a small tablet.  They were clearly beaten to market :-P

Screen Res seems a major departure from their direction with the standard iPad.

Yep, read a few product reviews, all positive except the aging screen resolution. Seems a result of the compromise of product cost control. No problem, waiting for another six months Apple will release high screen resolution iPad mini 2.

The strategy to have, hold and use an Apple product in a longer lifecycle is, ...

Don't buy it.

While the Retina display is amazing it makes the iPad 3 weigh a tonne!

(DISCLAIMER : Not literally a tonne, but quite heavy)

Yeah, the res on the iPad seems very over spec'd so it is surprising that they have under spec'd the iPad mini.  Typical Apple, you can have this resolution or 4 times this resolution but nothing in between.

According to informed reliable source, iPad Mini 2 is on its way now. Retina display with the resolution 2048x1535, A6X processor, 1GB RAM, an exact mini version of iPad 4th generation, will be in production end of this year and release in March 2013.

Never buy product version 1.0! Keep waiting!

Play with iPad mini in JB-HiFi lunch time today. Good quality built, but it's a 'me too' product without too many creation. Keep waiting.

+Terrence Miao there you go, Apple stays true to its course of releasing an inferior product to milk the early adopters and then upgrading it to what it should have been to start with so as to extract more $$$$$ :)

After seeing the release of Google's new Nexus line, I'm perhaps a bit disappointed with the Nexus 10.  On first glance the Nexus 4 might be my next phone, but maybe I need to look at something else like the Transformer for my tablet.

+Michael Poloni Nexus 4 $299. Nexus 10 $499. Will be available on Npv 13th, 2012 in Google Play store.

I'm waiting for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 price to drop.

+Terrence Miao I'm surprised that Samsung hasn't already dropped the price on their SIII phone!

Further inspection of the specs shows that the Nexus 10 has a far-superior screen to the equivalent Asus model.  Looks like a lot of online review reading will be required!

+Michael Poloni  Not exactly. I followed Samsung Galaxy S III for a long time. Price dropped from original $799 to currently $479 in just a few months. That price will keep lowing further. Check www.kogan.com.au for the latest low price.

I like Nexus 10 spec. But need a good excuse why I need to buy it. For example, reading tech book while laying on bed?

+Terrence Miao I know it will come in very useful at work.  At home my thinking around the use cases seems to be limited to: reading the newspaper and other websites, watching the occasional video (if I can get MythTV streaming to it!), and just general computing stuff that I'd prefer not to boot up the whole PC for.  I'm looking at a tablet as being a more portable device than a laptop, but I'll let you know how that goes after I've had one for a while!

+Michael Poloni After Google Nexus 4, 7, 10 released today. price of Samsung Galaxy S3 dropped another $30 to $449; Samsung Galaxy Note II dropped $40 to $559.

Keep waiting!
