You also forgot that they could post 10 things every day. They just don't share those things publically. It juts makes this article even stupider.

Yeah I know. Gchat works great. It's even better than BBM because it works on everything....iOS, Windows, Android, Mac.

"Its smaller size necessitates a few sacrifices, and the Retina Display (at this point) simply cannot be made to fit the new small chassis, so to speak."

What kind of a person has a bunch of clocks which synchronize with the internet?

Google isn't a threat to Apple? You're right that people aren't going to throw away their iPads today. But lots of people don't have iPads yet. If they want a tablet then price will be a factor.

You're right that you can't get an iPhone for free. The cheapest they come are $0.99.

Tell your friend to stop buying terrible phones. You act like T-Mobile has bad phones. Get a GSIII, Galaxy Note II, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, GSII, Galaxy Note, Galaxy S. All of these phones are top sellers available on multiple carriers worldwide. How exactly is T-Mobile at fault here?

$300 off contract. The GSIII is $279 on contract (on T-Mobile). Technology really has gone forward if they are able to offer this phone for so cheap.

Tmobile works perfect for me. If I travel I may get bad data service while in the middle of nowhere. But that's ok because I'm only paying $30 per month.

Obviously they will drop the prices of the Galaxy Nexus sometime before the Nexus 4 goes on sale.

It is available with a SIM card slot and cellular radio so you can connect to a GSM carrier. I believe the cellular model costs $50 extra over the wifi only.

I thought I saw that but I wasn't sure. Then the finger went down by a fifth but the voice went up.

You mean it has all of those apps optimized for tablets, right? Well those are optimized for the full size iPad. Right now there are zero optimized for the Mini.

Yes, right now. In a week the 16GB Nexus 7 will be $199 and the 32GB will be $249.

You expected to Apple to put amazing specs in a device? Have you ever looked at their other devices?

The size is bigger. Is that better? This is supposed to be a small tablet. A bigger screen could actually make it worse.

$50-$100 off an iPad Mini won't happen. More like $15 off. So now the Mini costs $314 for the 16GB model. The cost is still 63% higher than a full price 16GB Nexus 7.

$329 for the 16GB is way too much especially when the 16GB Nexus 7 will cost $199.

16GB Nexus 7 for $199 or 16GB iPad Mini for $329? Even normal people are going to realize that the Mini costs 60% more than the Nexus 7 for the same amount of storage. I don't think it will sell well. People who want cheaper or want Android will by the Nexus 7. People who want Apple and smaller will buy the iPad…

That is about to change. The 32GB Nexus 7 will cost $250. The 32GB iPad Mini costs $429. How many people are going buy the Mini when it costs 58% more than the Nexus 7?
