Now that's a title we didn't expect to be writing any time soon, but there it is, and unbelievably, it's accurate. Starting tomorrow, buyers will be able to walk into an Apple Store and walk out with a Philips light bulb. Not just any light bulb, though. This one's special. Very special indeed.
It may be overpriced according to some, and others may claim that its lack of a Retina display makes it a poor excuse for a tablet, but it's fast becoming clear that the doubters amongst us will not stop Apple's iPad mini from being a resounding success. At least, that's the conclusion that is easy to draw when you look at the state of pre-orders around the globe.
If you find yourself snapping images on your smartphone on a regular basis, you're probably always on the hunt for ways to enhance the experience. While there are a million and one apps out there for adding effects, cropping, highlighting, and generally manipulating images, a relatively new app in the form of WiFi Camera for iOS offers a feature we've yet to see from any other application.
We're all more excited about getting our hands on an iPad mini than we would like to admit, and when pre-orders began it became clear we are not on our own.
The iPad mini, which was announced earlier this week by Apple at a special event in San Jose, has received decidedly negative reviews from consumers and bloggers alike. Microsoft exec has, perhaps unsurprisingly given today's release of the Surface tablet, waded into the iPad mini debate, and even less shockingly, he's not a big fan of Apple's slightly smaller slate.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is just three days away from its tenth anniversary, and in much the same way as it celebrated ten years of Grand Theft Auto III, publisher Rockstar Games will be bringing the iconic title to mobile devices.
Apple have this morning updated their customer facing website in the United Kingdom to comply with an earlier ruling made by a British court. A relatively small link has appeared at the bottom of the Apple.com/UK homepage that forwards customers to information pertaining to the ruling made in July of this year in the High Court of Justice of England Wales.
Competing directly with the Nexus 7 and Amazon Kindle Fire HD in the quickly expanding small but powerful, cheap but well designed tablet market, the iPad mini is most important new product to come out of the October 23rd Apple media event.
Apple's iPad mini announcement was only two days ago, but the consumer reaction on the Cupertino company's decision to release a second iPad in almost seven months has been nothing short of damning. The main, 9.7-inch Apple slate was expected to be given one or two menial updates - the main one perceived to be the Lightning Dock connector, but by doubling up the speed of its flagship slab in adding an A6X, dual-core processor, many current third-gen iPad owners feel somewhat cheated.
If you aren't happy with just getting your hands on the perhaps unexpected fourth-generation iPad as well as the new 7.9-inch iPad mini then Apple have followed their own recent trend by releasing the technical schematic drawings of each of their new tablet releases. It was largely expected that Apple would be unveiling a new miniature iPad during their Californian press event, but it may of come as a rather large surprise to most that a new fourth-generation iPad was also on the agenda, coming just seven months after the release of the iPad 3.
