Here comes iPad mini and iPad 4th Gen

[Dankoo]

It's not quite what we expected, but Apple has just introduced us to a new, 4th generation iPad at its event in San Jose, California today. It's essentially a hardware refresh for Apple's 3rd gen slate, as it packs new A6X silicon with quad-core graphics that the company claims provides double the performance of the old A5X chip. The new iPad also gets dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi, expanded LTE compatibility (including Sprint and KDDI), a 720p FaceTime camera on the front and the new image processor first seen in the iPhone 5. Of course, it also gets the reversible Lightning port that debuted on on the iPhone, and will be available in both black and white. Pricing stays the same as its predecessor, with a 16GB WiFi version for $499 and a 16GB model with cellular data on board costs $629. Interested? You'll be able to pick one up through Apple's online and brick and mortar stores or Apple Authorized Resellers in a host of countries -- listed in the PR after the break -- on November 2nd.

soon...apple will come out with iPads to fit all sizes.....mini iPad, micro iPad,

[Icedbs]

actually why can't they have a better naming convention like Ipad 3, 4, etc...rather than new Ipad , Ipad with Retina Display, etc

4G only in selected country.

 

other country 4 G wasnt suitable. that was why they got sue i think in AUS for misleading advertisement. (apparently, due to some technical stuff which i dont know. the 4 G in some country is different.)

not like iphone 4S.

 

iphone 4S is on dual core right?? Ipad3 is dont know for what except for maybe retina screen upgrade??

 

[Spkentchai]

I'm sure will be focusing on samsung note....attack

[Icedbs]

think ipad mini only for parents to buy for kids......

 

Easy to hold for them and cheaper.

 

Otherwise, can't really see the market for ipad mini because it's not really that smaller compare to ipad.

 

But as in all apple products, there will still be groups who will buy them.
