iPad mini confirmed to include 5-watt power adapter

, Nov 1st 2012 Discuss [18]

After Apple announced the iPad mini last week, a lot of people wondered what kind of USB power adapter that the company would include with it. Some said it was still large enough of a device to warrant Apple's new 12-watt charger, but some said that it's small enough that the iPhone's 5-watt charger would do the trick. Confirmed by an early buyer of the iPad mini, the device ships with the smaller 5-watt charger. Read The Full Story

Due to the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, the iPad mini launch in New York City may not be as big as past launches for Apple. The company's flagship store on 5th Avenue (nicknamed "The Cube") hasn't seen any damage to the outside or the inside, so Apple is planning on launching the iPad mini on schedule, which is at 8 AM ET tomorrow morning.

SlashGear Evening Wrap-Up: October 31, 2012

, Oct 31st 2012 Discuss [0]

Welcome to the special Halloween edition of the Evening Wrap-Up! The Halloween edition is pretty much the same as regular Wrap-Ups, the only difference is that I'm dressed as Ginger Spice as I type this. Let's spice up our lives with a recap, shall we? Microsoft is being sued over its Windows 8 live tiles, and Apple has removed delivery dates from iPad Mini LTE pre-orders, leading some to suspect that the company has been forced to delay them. T-Mobile and AT&T have opened up their networks in areas hit hard by Hurricane Sandy, letting customers of both carriers use either network - a respectable move by the two carriers in this time of need.

Rumors have floated around for quite a while that the iPad mini features dual-speakers. Apple didn't mention this during the product's announcement, however, leaving many to wonder if it is true. Now we have confirmation that the rumors are true via a simple email from Apple's Philip Schiller, which simply reads, "It is stereo." Read The Full Story

Apple removing delivery dates from iPad mini LTE pre-orders

, Oct 31st 2012 Discuss [1]

Last week, we reported that customers who pre-ordered an LTE model of the iPad mini were getting confirmations of delivery dates with their order, some saying that they would get theirs as early as November 21 (one of our commenters even mentioned the 20th for him). However, it seems that Apple is redacting these dates and substituting in "mid-November" instead. Read The Full Story

iPad mini Review: Apple aims for the everyman

, Oct 30th 2012 Discuss [37]

It’s an iPad, but smaller. Boiling down the iPad mini to its core premise may not tell you everything you need to know about the 7.9-inch tablet, but it does set the scene: Apple’s legendary build quality, iOS and the hundreds of thousands of tablet apps in the App Store, and a guarantee that it’s going to polarize consumers. Steve Jobs memorably dismissed smaller tablets, and yet Apple couldn’t have been more enthusiastic about its mini model at the launch event last week. Read on to find out whether, for a small slate, the iPad mini is actually a big deal.

Nexus 10 vs iPad 4th Gen

, Oct 29th 2012 Discuss [66]

It would appear that amongst the software and hardware releases Google has detailed this week is their first giant iPad competitor in the Google Nexus 10. At first glance the differences might not be abundant to an everyday average user other than the obvious Android vs iOS and feel of each device. As it turns out though, these two tablets, for the first time, create a battle between the iPad and an Android-toting tablet made not just by a major manufacturer, but Google as well.

iPad mini shipments delayed two weeks, selling for big bucks on eBay

, Oct 29th 2012 Discuss [4]

If you were planning to buy an iPad mini and wanted it to arrive on launch day (November 2), then you were no doubt camped out in front of your computer at midnight with your credit card in hand and repeatedly tapping the F5 key. However, it seems that wasn't too necessary, since the black version of the device just now sold out. And since the iPad mini is now completely sold out of launch day shipments, the tablet is selling for huge bucks on eBay. Read The Full Story

Amazon slams iPad mini in Kindle Fire HD attack ad

, Oct 29th 2012 Discuss [26]

Amazon has directly called out Apple's new iPad mini in a homepage attack advert, criticizing the new 7.9-inch iOS tablet for falling short in specifications versus the Kindle Fire HD. The comparison, seen when you first visit Amazon's US site, contrasts the $199 Kindle Fire HD with its 216ppi, 7-inch display against the $329 iPad mini, which has a 163ppi display. That's not the only shortcoming, Amazon maintains. Read The Full Story

, Oct 26th 2012 Discuss [0]

Welcome to Friday evening, everyone. Today was a pretty big day in the world of tech, with both Windows 8 and Microsoft Surface launching and the iPad mini going up for pre-order. Microsoft was actually handing out £50 coupons to the Microsoft Store for giving those in the UK who pre-ordered a Surface conflicting messages about when it will ship, and the company even managed launch Xbox Smartglass for Android alongside Surface and Windows. Microsoft said it will be giving Windows 8 Pro users a free upgrade to Media Center, while Steven Sinofsky talked up the company's new products, managing to get a couple of shots in at Apple at the same time.
