How expensive is the iPad Mini? Put it this way, it's just £50 cheaper than the amazing new Google Nexus 10. Crazy.

So you are now saying the larger Nexus 10 is comparable with the mini?
Why arent you comparing pricing with the Nexus 7?

when getting my wifes birthday present, i asked apple why i should get ipad 3 rather than 2. the girl in the shop was most enthusiastic about the improved display, so i asked to see them both side by side. when i convinced her to get the SAME picture on both for a fair comparrison, i couldnt tell the difference until the max zoom in. ended up saving £70 getting the ipad 2 needless to say!

It's text where you'll see the biggest difference. You should perhaps have pulled up the Kindle app or a webpage to compare.

Its like the last days of the Roman empire at Apple, executives bodies piling up following the mapping disaster. The 7 inch effort from the parts bin won't save them, Nexus 4,7,10 prices must scare them . The only good news for the fruity firm is The awful Windows 8, at that would have given Steve Jobs a laugh.

The iPad Mini reviews are rolling in and it seems to have been very well received.

It's sloppy seconds...

Old tech shoved into an awkward form factor.

Eh?? My point was that for just £50 more outlay you can get the new Google Nexus 10. The iPad Mini is clearly massively overpriced. But of course will sell in big numbers. Weird world.
