I'm throwing money at the screen.


Why is nothing happening?

 

[Lemonte]

awesome.. but shame it has only last generation cpu

 

[TheContact]

I'll buy it for 249

 

[venne]

Too big.

Kindle sized would have been perfect.

 

[Ragus]

Nah, I prefer my iPad 3.

 

[Anilones]

I'll buy it for 249

Listed as £269 on UK Apple Store.

 

[Kiraly]

329 US DOLLARS

 

[Guevara]

$329? Nope.

 

[Yaboosh]

I cannot believe that Apple was bragging about the bigger screen over the Nexus 7.

 

[Zeppu]

Incredible how that can fit in one hand but a Note can't.

 

[ThingontheFloor]

THOSE CARTOON FINGERS.

 

[Jack Scofield]

Keep being reactionary, Apple.

But how will this work? Everyone knows how Apple fans can't use two hands on devices.

 

[snacknuts]

No thank you.

 

[dehydratedbabies]

Does it do apps?

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

329 US DOLLARS

Fanatics won't give a shit. It's Apple, so it's a great price.

Sticking with my iPad 3. Couldn't go back to a non-retina display and iPad 2 slowness.

 

[Schlep]

The screen may be a bit bigger than the Nexus 7, but it can't do 720p like the N7 and the internals seem to be worse. During the presentation, I was actually thinking about grabbing one if they announced $199 or maybe even $249. $329 is ridiculous.

 

[VALIS]

This mini tablet trend is entirely unappealing to me. Not small enough to carry on your person so what's the point? I'd much rather have the screen real estate. It's not like the iPad/Surface/Transformer/etc. are heavy.

 

[JoeBoy101]

Starts at $329

Noooooope.

I would have bit at $249. But $60 less than a full-fledged iPad2? Screw that.

 

[saelz8]

Slower than my iPhone 5

No Retina

$329

 

[JBuccCP]

At that price I'd expect a retina display. The weight is really enticing but 329 for an old chipset and low res screen is no deal.

 

[TTOOLL]

Ugly and expensive, IMO. I just prefer the Nexus size-wise and obviously price-wise.

Why not the iPad 4?

 

[Like the hat?]

So is it like iPad 2 innards?

 

[weekend_warrior]

That is one big fucking iphone. LOL @ $329.

 

[Swag]

Would buy one if I didn't already have an S3, this thing will fly off shelves this holiday season though, fly

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Why not the iPad 4?

$500 grows on trees.

 

[Kyon]

Not $199 goodbye

 

[Delusibeta]

£100 too expensive for my tastes.

 

[dkeane]

I like that it's basically an iPad 2 shrunk down but I'd use this for reading and really want a retina screen.

 

[Flame Lord]

Too high.

 

[Charles]

Incredible how that can fit in one hand but a Note can't.

It's magic! (Patented magic)

 

[ThingontheFloor]

Why not the iPad 4?

Because I just spent $600 on my 32GB 6 months ago. Can't justify a new purchase already for a standard processor/camera bump.

 

[Windu]

was anything not leaked about this thing?

 

[Damon Bennet]

Liu Kang Baking a Pie

Yes. I was right!

 

[Clay Davis]

£100 too expensive for my tastes.

absolutely agree. I'm sticking with original plan of getting a nexus 7 32gb for £199 from argos. this is a very overinflated price for a mini.

 

[Nibel]

329$? Why even bother

Guess I'll wait for the next "Big" iPad instead

 

[Az]

Will look for cheaper ipad3 to buy.

Should have thrown a $ before it

 

[Clydefrog]

what will be the goldilocks size for an Apple product?

 

[Neo Child]

same here now, was waiting till this conference to decide. would buy if it was under £200

 

[BaronLundi]

waiting for the iPhone mega

 

[jokkir]

Looks good but that price. I'll wait until I have more disposable cash until I buy

 

[Radec]

was anything not leaked about this thing?

The price lol.

 

[Mr Swine]

This is just a shrunken down IPad 2 with a new camera, very disappointed at its price despite starting at 16GB

 

[JBuccCP]

The price lol.

One of those Mac sites called this price.

 

[Davidion]

The words whoop di laa comes to mind.

 

[Gaaraz]

As someone with an iPad, Apple TV, iPod, iPhone, MacBook etc I have to say some of the language being used in the video made me cringe so fucking bad - how many times did they call it magical? Or use awful terms like "These aren't just the same apps you use on your phone, these are powerful apps."

Sorry what Apple? Fucking hell. I can't believe I used to be a sucker for their marketing.

Also love how they constantly talked about how the iPhone was the perfect size, any bigger and it wouldn't fit in one hand... yet a 7.9" tablet apparently now works perfectly in one hand...?!
