iPad Mini and a Truckload More!

Hey, CyberPoodle here, and yeterday, Apple announced their long awaited iPad Mini! Actually it's basically a giant iPod Touch 5G, same Dual Core A5 chip (Sorry fellas, No A5X, A6 or A6X), same 5MP full HD iSight Camera (an edge over the Nexus 7), same HD facetime camera, same lightning connector, and extreme thinness and lightness. Now the display is obviously bigger than the iTouch, but smaller than the iPad, besting out at 7.9". Sorry, no Retina Display here as it bears iPad 1's and 2's XGA (1024x768) IPS LCD Panel. There's also an LTE version (another edge over the Nexus 7 there), and it starts at $300 for the 16GB Wi-Fi Only model. It runs iOS 6 (obviously) with Siri.

They also announced the iPad 4(!) a bit soon, with a new super duper A6X processor (besting all other iOS devices) and a lightning connector. 'Tsit! Yeah a bit disappointing but it's something. They also unveiled their 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display (a bit late), which is essentially a smaller 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display. And finally there's the new razor thin iMac (no Retina Display, unfortunately), with a faster processor and more storage and less reflective screen.
