Apple , selling you the same product over and over and over again ::)
yay a small Ipad ::)

MS Surface looks awesome but for the same price I can get an actual laptop

Surface is supposed to be kind of expensive... starting price about a grand.
It's not an ipad mini anyway... it's an ipod XXXL

Fuck Apple. Start innovating!

Nice, now I won't have to try balancing it on my left thigh as I try to crack one off.

Incorrect...
There will be two types of Surface tablets:
One running Windows RT (on an ARM processor / mobile processor like the ipad) starting at $400
and
One running Windows 8 (on intel core processor / PC processor like laptops) not announced yet but probably at $800 - $1000

I would think if you don't get the windows 8 one it's kind of pointless. The whole idea is the apps and the only way to get the apps is to get the Windows 8.

I watched it. Could that fucker have said the word "incredible" any more? Buy a thesaurus. Made me laugh when he said our engineers worked around the clock to bring this to you.

It's $499 plus $100 more for the smart cover with keypad. I assume there is a reason they are selling you the keypad.

Why are you reacting to the launch of a product that you are ostensibly not interested in? Do you do this often? Do you find this a productive use of your time? Let me pick another product at random, say, the Nissan Leaf (the car that does not run on gasoline). Did you react to that product launch by starting a thread about it and trumpeting yet to be released competing products? I do not understand why people like you, who are not interested in buying a given Apple product, are paying such close attention to the company and its offerings. Strange. ::)

I pay attention to all technology announcements and am interested in them... and as much as I like to bash them, i do appreciate what Apple does with their products, they are not BAD products - far from it.... (but I still think Android is superior). Plus my wife is interested in Apple products so I have to convey all this info to her ;D
So please drop your holier than thou attitude Bay! I like watching men in thongs too but I don't have any interest in smoking the Cock! LOL
I would think if you don't get the windows 8 one it's kind of pointless. The whole idea is the apps and the only way to get the apps is to get the Windows 8.
Windows RT is a version of Windows 8... here is the difference:
Windows 8 runs both the mobile version of windows 8 (Interface Codename: Metro, with apps) and the desktop version (legacy programs that can be used on regular pc's)
Windows RT runs ONLY the mobile version of windows 8 (Interface Codename: Metro, with apps)
It's $499 plus $100 more for the smart cover with keypad. I assume there is a reason they are selling you the keypad.
You are right, my mistake $500, not $400 without the cover!

Going to buy the Ipad 4, Apple are way ahead in the tablet game, not so much in the phone side.

I was wondering when the resident Apple fan boy would appear. ;D
I have an Ipad and Apple will never see another dollar from me , nice product shitty company and fuck Itunes , fuck IO6 , fuck Apple maps. My apps wont update automatically , my apps wont update manually ' cannot connect to Itunes ' apps crash constantly even though I'm up to date on my software . I've never had an app crash on me on android
I just bought a Samsung Galaxy tab 2 8GB , 7" for $199.00 with a 16GB micro SD card for free , the Ipad mini is projected at $329.00? no thanks

Big Ach, I'm not as well versed on computers as you appear to be but I have owned a Window unit in the past and when it broke down, I discovered that it was difficult to get repaired ... or simply too damn expensive to have it fixed.
Or else I had to pack it up and send it off someplace.
In fact it's till sitting in the garage along with a couple of others!
I bet there's at least one in your garge too! But it sure ain't gonna be an Apple!
Then one day a few years back (six years I think) someone convinced me to get an Apple Pro and I've been thankful ever since.
I am an Apple fan and have purchase a good number of Apple products and in those rare cases when I have a breakdown or a failure to function problem I simply take it down to the nearest Apple Store two miles down the road and the problem has always been taken care of within minutes.
And so far those 'fixes' have never cost me a cent even when my power cord was chewed by my dog who tried to blame the cat. (Not plugged in at the time.)
And that free sevice also included replacement of the worn out type keys and other forgotten stuff.
So my Apple and I have been to the Apple store on three different occasions these past 6/7 years and each of those 'fixens' was less than 10 minutes each and never did cost me a dine.
Plus I can attend those one hour classes that are held each and every day to learn what I need to know to become proficient while using various compuiter programs . ANd that don't cost me ten cents neither.
But on some rare occasions I do join a program that Apple offers that allows you to attent weekly clases when the need arises. That's called ONE on ONE but that is $100 per year ... but never really necessary because some Apple crew-member is always there to answer any question you can ask and spend the time to teach you how to get it done.
And that don't cost a cent neither.
The service Apple provides is amazing and I have never left an Apple store without a thanks to all and a smile upon my face.
Noe any question ever un-answered/\.
My question to yiou BIG ARH .... Does any other computer brand offer this kind of service?
Thanks, STUNT

No dog in this fight but I bet Dorian looks better on the apple display. Those black and whites with the socks on and his underwear half in his crack, that is prime retina display territory.

Its all the same shit.
I mean, seriously, how many different ways is there to look at the internet? Oh wait, just one. Google looks the same on all devices.

Apple died when Steve Jobs did. They are not innovating only shrinking down the products they already have. Samsung is right on their heals and will eventually kick their ass... that's why Apple is so desparate trying to cease and desist them.
If you own AAPL stock, you better sell it now while it's still in the $600's. It's gonna go down. When it does, it will take the entire stock market with it too.

I'm not into that... That's why I like the 800... Almost iphone sized.
I like the iphone size... It's perfect for my hands.

Stuntmovie.... if you are happy with Apple's service, then good for you... more power to you bro! I have had excellent service myself with many companies like Sony who replaced hardware for me free of charge, and Motorola who fixed things for me even when my products were out of warranty and did not ask for a cent (just to name a few).
Likewise, I've had friends who have been screwed over by Apple due to failing hard drives on their Macbooks and Apple charging them ridiculous amounts of money to fix them.
Whatever makes you happy man!

So we have an Iphone 4S, and IPad2 and an IPod 5th generation tough. What is the difference between all of them. Very, very little. Besides the size, they are almost the same. The Ipad2 (not the retina displays) costs $399. The new IPad minis will cost $329 for a much smaller screen. Bah, for $70 difference, will still get the IPad2. As for the new retina display, not worth it yet. The new IPad4... for $499... defends on what you need it for.

I still have the ipad 1 and made a decision I would get the Ipad 4 whenever it was released before the 1 cant run any new apps and becomes as valuable as a Sandusky Autograph.Wont buy it until its jailbroken however.

before jobs died,,,,i had the pleasure of having diner with him with 10 others,,,,(bill not invited) at his home he talked about how instead of increasing size,,,,we need to decrease size,,,but the society cant handle decrease so we increase due to sales,,,and money,,,he said if I die,,,please release a small version of the ipad to corner the market,,thus the mini was born
I WOULD RATHER HAVE 2 FANACTIC APPLIER LOVERS THAT BUY 100 PRODUCTS THAN HAVE 100 DRONES BUYS,,,,CRAP PRODUCTS (MICROSFOT),,

All going to change now they are making the windows phone, give it a year or 2 until all the same apps for android and iphone get ported over then it could end up being the best phone OS of all 3.

lol
they had their years of fame now they are just another figurant on the field. Dont see how making commodity hardware for Microsoft sutff is going to change that.
speaking of Microsoft, they have a good track record in making better copies of things, not creating new trends. Thats why odds are against them with this different animal called Windows 8. Bill Gates is retired and Balmer is a Bozo and while he is very good and generating lots cash off Bills legacy, he doesnt know how to do anything other than that.

Fucking Apple. 16GB for $329. What a ripoff. Anyone that owns an iPad knows that apps on the ipad take up a ton of space. HD movies are about 1-2GB in size. Plus 16GB only 13GB is useable. Apple then charges $100 more to get 32GB. $100 for 16GB RAM? What a ripoff. So $429 for a decent iPad, then of course you need some screen cover ($25) then some sort of protective case ($50-$100), you end up spending $550-$600 with taxes. for an ipad that is slightly smaller.
-
The Nexus 7 is still a better deal....
$250 for the 16GB (which will go down next week when the 32GB is announced) vs ipad mini for $320
Quad Core Tegra 3 processor vs ipad mini's Dual Core A5 processor
Even though the Nexus 7 is a smaller screen (7") its still higher resolution 1280X800 vs ipad mini's (7.9") 1024X768

So mini Ipad? hmmmm how much ??
Now Black Friday has a new reason/meaning to be

how about amazon kindle fire?
Great product... but its very Amazon-centric... meaning no Google Play Store, uses Amazon's own app store.... it really doesn't feel like an Android device because of how much skinning they did to the OS, AWESOME resolution on their new one.
I'm not a fan of 7" size, prefer 10".... but if I was to choose from those two I would go with the Nexus 7

what about girth and curvature?

I've tried the galaxy, and it just doesn't compare to the user experience. It's hard to explain but the ipad and phone just seems to repsond very accurately to the links I try to choose or my typing where the others just seem off.
Apple did spend years perfecting the touch application well before the copy cats came out.

Can you upload software on the Ipad 4 like quickbooks?

Thats a tough question to answer....
I'm personally very biased towards Motorola (just picked up the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD last week on the day it came out)
First you have to decide do you want, Apple, Android, Windows Phone? (Don't get Blackberry they are going under - I'm actually talking about them in my dissertation), also depends which carrier you have
So lets break it down:
If you want Windows Phone get the Nokia Lumia 900 (although the windows app market is pretty weak and there will be a whole schlew of new windows phones coming out after windows 8 is launched in 2 days)
If you want Apple, get the iphone 5, enough said! Apple's interface is amazingly smooth and unmatched by anyone else, has a ton of apps (although Android is a close second in that department), and they have great support in their stores - but then you have itunes and thats a piece of shit!
If you want Android (Which I do believe is the superior OS - many Apple fans will disagree, and thats cool) you have many options in that realm and it depends on what you are looking for:
1. If you want the purest form of Android without any third party customization's, get the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Although Google is announcing a new Nexus device next week, the LG Nexus 4)
2. If you want the best battery life get the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD (thats the one I have and it has the biggest battery out of any phone in the market right now - 3300 mah - thats more than double the iphone's battery which is 1440 mah)
3. If you want the best screen get the Samsung Galaxy Note which has a 5.3" screen (The Galaxy Note 2 comes out next month with an even bigger screen, there is also an HTC DLX on the way with a 1080p 5" screen coming out in a few months too)
4. If you want the best overall android phone probably the Samsung Galaxy SIII (Although I still think the Motorola one I got is better quality, but Samsung has some nice features like split screen and what have you)
5. If you want the best phone with a keyboard, Motorola photon Q
-
$330 is TOO MUCH FUCKING MONEY for the iPad mini! >:( I was set to buy one but the price point for the storage it has is ridiculous.
At $150/$200 Samsung Galaxy player 4 or 5 is a better buy and more versatile. Full web flash on the 5 and it feels good to use. Tried it out at Best Buy.
In this economy, Apple could have knocked another $50 off the mini and it would have been a no brainer for most. iGreed. :-\

Shookrun Habibi!
I am trying to figure out which phone to get next, because I have the IPhone 4S (Have an upgrade available via AT&T), but have not been too impressed by the IPhone5.
I was expecting a bigger jump from the 4 & 4S, but nothing about it screams innovation, at least to the extent that apple touts it out to be (remember this is only my opinion).
That said, while I do think the Samsung Galaxy SIII looks like a beautiful phone (especially for surfing the web and taking pictures), I am not too familiar with its interface and whether I would be able to smoothly upload music, videos and pictures from my computer, not to mention podcasts the way I seamlessly do from iTunes to my IPhone. Maybe you can give me a little guidance regarding that slight nuance.
I also worry about the fact that 2013 is just around the corner and you just never know what great product might be coming down the pike, so I worry about marrying into a new product that might become obsolete in a few months.
Thank you for your continued support,

Apple is dealing with the beast it created. That $50 x many millions of units is required to keep the stock at the price it's at. They had no choice but to cut into the 7" market. They need apple fans to buy their bullshit until the bubble pops. The foundation of Apple with the iphone and early release of Ipad is solidly built on big bricks, but the last 3-4 years is on big bubble getting ready to blow. I am not sure what people want more from them. they brought the iphone into the market and redefined a huge market. What more do people need?

Yes but on Oct. 5, the day Jobs died Apple’s stock was selling for $378.25. Now it is double that. Apple has stop innovation and are now replicating.

BIG ACH, Thanks for the response to my earlier Apple Service comments and thanks for the great info you provided above.
I didn't realoize that you were well versed on this subject until recently.
What exactly is your job in this regards.
Until recently I used the cheapest phone I could find at $29 (Walmart) and the $30 a month service plan with no contract .... and was perfectly happy because I honesty was unaware that there was something out there that was better and just about as cheap.
Then someone told me about TEXTING and I realized that I could not do that on my $29 Walmart phone with the $30 a month service plan which allowed me 1,000 talk-minutes which was actually more than necessary.
But I wanted to start this Texting stuff so I pulled out my credit card and bought an Android unit (Walmart) and a $32.50 a month unlimited service plan .... unlimited text and unlimited talk. The phone itself cost $129.
And it's taken a while to learn such a modern convenience but now I can download stuff I never need and will never learn ... if I do ever need it.
Every kid and grown up in my family are Apple phone fans and now they are telling me that I should step up and purchase a $400+ Apple phone along with the $100+ service plan.
Am I missing an important part of my life by refusing to follow their advice?
AND .....
What apps do you suggest I download to my Android phone which you feel are most important or 'fun' to have?
THANKS, ACH

ACH, PS!
I have been told my a reliable source that the experts are now working on a device that will be inserted by a dentist which will allow you to talk through an artificial molar.
If you are on this research team, I'l appreciate it you could tell me how they plan to dial a number to place the call.

I bought a Kindle Fire when it first came our a year or so ago, but I don't know enough about this stuff to compare one brand from another, but I have been really satisfied with it.
I also purchased the $70 a year 'free stuff' program which name I presently have forgotten but it does include about 17,000 free downloads ... movies, tv shows, books, etc and free shipping when you make any Amazon purchase.
Only mentioning this because someone mentioned Kindle earlier.

The Kindle Fire is a great device. and you really can't go wrong with the price too.
Tons of a great apps so hard to list.... It really depends what you are into, I have a bunch of games on my tablet, Plus some productivity apps, and things that I interact with often, like the Dominos Pizza app for Sunday Footbal :-D lol Best Buy, Google Currents is awesome for reading blogs or whatever, Pay Pal, Ebay,Amazon, Sling Player (I have a sling box so I can watch live TV on my tablet), Netflix, apps for the banks I use, IGN
Also, Dragon Mobile Assistant (just launched today), My Xbox Live, IMDB, tapatalk! etv.
One of my fave is splashtop Remote desktop which allows you to access and control your PC remotely. (There's also teamviewer)
I don't work currently in this field, its just a passion of mine, But I'm hoping to change that after my PhD.

That said, while I do think the Samsung Galaxy SIII looks like a beautiful phone (especially for surfing the web and taking pictures), I am not too familiar with its interface and whether I would be able to smoothly upload music, videos and pictures from my computer, not to mention podcasts the way I seamlessly do from iTunes to my IPhone. Maybe you can give me a little guidance regarding that slight nuance.
I also worry about the fact that 2013 is just around the corner and you just never know what great product might be coming down the pike, so I worry about marrying into a new product that might become obsolete in a few months.
The SIII is the closest I've seen as far as Android replicating the overall smoothness of iOS6. But, to your questions, you'll have a slight learning curve using Android, but it's pretty intuitive, and you'll be a pro in three weeks or so, once all the iOS macros leave your hands.

Samsung has a skin over Android which they call "Touch Wiz" - I normally don't like skins... but they have some really nice features like opening two different apps on one screen and running them side by side! Its really very cool!
Main thing I don't like about the SIII is the hardware, feels like flimsy plastic! But I'm used to Motorola's more industrial designs which tend to be pretty rugged and durable!

When Apple was presenting a side by side of the mini vs. another tablet, was it the samsung?

No it was a Nexus 7. And although they brought up some good points, it wasn't a fair comparison because they left out some important facts about the Nexus 7.

If you are gonna get 2 android devices, might as well get a third one instead of the ipad 4.... just to maintain a proper balance in the ecosystem.
I'm all about unification :-D In order to make full use of your products, get all apple or get all android!

Why?All the top apps are cross platform compatible

Well for starters you will end up paying for the same apps twice....
Not just that, say you use google music and buy music from their google store, you can only play that on the google music app (or from the web browser on a pc)... so you can't get that on your ipad same with google movies (and vice versa for itunes and apple movies)....
Plus if you have all the same devices, you will not have to sync your stuff twice (contacts/calendars/emails/messages, etc)
(If you have both platforms you will have to sync once through itunes/icloud and once through Google)
