When Google drops it's prices next week (very likely) the iPad Mini will look even dumber.

It's a 7.9 inch screen, Schiller broke down the specifics in the keynote of how it stacks up against the nexus tablet. The only downers are its using the same specs from the Ipad 2, so when they said it's not so much that we shrank down an ipad its that we made it better. Nah, you shrank down the Ipad 2 and release it with the 4. People will buy it but imo the new IMacs were far more impressive, Mac Mini as well.

I'm one of the folks that bought the 3 in March so now 6 months later I'm one of the slightly disappointed customers.

Even all the Apple guys I talk to were giving Apple mad shit...

I dislike the iPad mini. But then, I hate all small tablets. I don't understand the point. They're too small to do much more than my phone will.

They've got a place...just not for me at this point. There's a 27" iMac in my future though, that's for darn sure.

As far as the pricing goes, they don't care. People that bought on price have been buying plastic knock off tablets for a while now anyway and they're not interested in that market. If you don't have to compete on price, why would you?

Price comparison between the Mini and the iPod touch? The success of the iPod Mini in comparison with the Classic shows that they aren't necessarily competing products. Plus there is a big difference between iPad apps and iPhone apps.

If I had cash sitting around where I could pick up an iPad now I might be tempted to get the iPad 3 instead of the 4 since it would still work with all the 30 pin connectors I've got around here.

I heard threes are going to become obsolete as soon as the fours come out. In other words if you want a three you have to get them now before they stop making them. Or buy used

Not necessarily. I love my iPod Touch, especially my newer one with the camera in it. (Not the brand-new one with the awesome camera; the cheaper last-week model.) It's small and thin enough to carry in my pocket, but versatile enough to surf the 'Net and do some website business in a pinch. Combined with my mobile hotspot, I can whip it out (no homo), check sports scores, browse CP, check my email and Facebook, upload a pic I just took, and then put it back in my pants (no homo). I have no need for an iPhone (or a pricey iPhone plan) so the Touch is great for me.

I have an eMachine T6520...still going strong...since January of 2006.

im very dissapointed with my ipod touch right now. The ****ing battery is shit and i have had it less then a freaking year. I cant do ANYTHING but listen to music on it. If i try to wifi it or play games or anything, the battery drains in like 10 min! 100-0 in about 10-15 min with wifi on and playing words with friends or using the facebook app. Downloading podcasts drains it even faster.

I can listen to music with the screen off for hours though. haha

My cell phone does all of that.
