If Google and Asus announce a new Nexus 7 this month, it will ultimately mean a gigantic mess for Apple. Why you ask? It puts certain Apple products way overpriced compared to what you can walk away with a Nexus 7 for. First off, the Nexus 7 is a very nice device and it does what you'd want by functioning as a daily tablet; it's fast enough to play mobile games, watch videos, surf...
In just four days, Apple will probably, likely, maybe unveil a pint-sized version of its immensely popular iPad. And despite a steady flow of rumors, there's still quite a bit of intrigue surrounding the device — more so than with Apple's iPhone 5, which we practically knew everything about even before CEO Tim Cook took the stage. Why is this? Price. Plain and simple. Consumers won't...
The iPad mini will likely be announced on Oct. 23 during Apple's freshly announced press event in San Jose. But our readers are comprised of iOS fans and Android users alike, so here's a few other small 7-inch range tablets that you might want to consider instead of the iPad mini. Google Nexus 7 Google's Nexus 7 still ranks as my favorite tablet ever, and it still rests on my bedside...
Apple just sent out press invites for a press event on Oct. 23 where it’s largely expected to unveil the 7.85-inch iPad mini. If correct, this will be Apple’s first foray into the 7-inch tablet market, which is largely dominated by Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Samsung and Google. What features will the iPad mini offer? What kind of price point will it come in at? Well, those are...
Do you care about the iPad mini? Does anyone you know care? Rumor has it that the device will be announced on Oct. 17 and, when Apple does, the tablet will largely compete with the Amazon Kindle HD, the Barnes & Noble Nook HD and the Nexus 7. But does anyone even care about this highly-rumored, basically confirmed 7.85-inch iOS device? It doesn't seem so. I spent the last 12...
TechnoBuffalo's editor in chief Sean Aune called me this morning and we had a discussion about how much the 7.85-inch iPad mini will cost. We're both baffled as to how Apple will price the device. Ultimately, the Kindle Fire HD, the Barnes & Noble Nook HD and the Nexus 7 are attractive 7-inch tablets because they cost $199, which is cheaper than most options out there. I don't think...
Apple on Monday released a 5.1 update for its Apple TV, giving it plenty of new functions such as AirPlay broadcasting, support for multiple iTunes accounts, and shared photo streams. That might not seem like much initially, but it could hint at even more added functionality down the road. As Gizmodo rightly points out, the ability to reorder homescreen icons could mean that support...
Apple’s expected to take the wraps off of its iPad mini during a yet unannounced press event in October and, now, the leaks are coming in full force. We have already published mockups of the alleged 7.85-inch iPad mini, but now a website called BoLoPad claims that it has “exclusive” photos of the “real” iPad mini. The images are, at best, similar to the mockups that we have already...
When Google took the stage, alongside Asus, in June to announce the Google Nexus 7, we fell in love with the $200 tablet. It was everything we wanted to see from a tablet, let alone an Android tablet. It was $199 dollars (less than half the price of an iPad). Its 7-inch display was perfect for e-reading, and sufficient enough for movies and casual YouTube viewing, it’s form factor was...
I like analysts, I think they provide a good look at the overall performance of the mobile market and provide detailed information on how different phone makers and operating systems are competing against one another. I love reports from IDC, comScore, Nielsen and others. It's the financial analysts that are really pushing my buttons these days. Every morning I wake up to a new report...
