Any chance apple will pull an end around and announce an apple tv, instead of the Ipad mini?

live streaming is a liability, as can be seen here:

I hope they announce the next Windows Phone.

Macs are for fags.

Pretty much what was expected

-new iPad Mini
-new iMac
-new Mac mini
-new Mac Book Pro

Ipad Mini ships Nov 3rd

New iMacs are extremely thin. Crazy an entire computer fits in there now.

$329 for an iPad Mini is laughable especially given the Nexus 7 is $199 and the next one will be less than that.

Of course they'll sell 10 million of them to fanboys.

iPad Mini... ?

Can't imagine why anyone would ever buy one of these. As an eReader maybe?

They aren't the same design.

It's only an $80 difference for 16GB and it's a larger display -- iPad mini is 7.9-inch vs 7", rear-facing 5-megapixel camera, better app selection than Android store, etc.

The new imac it's cool...although, i will not upgrade to the new one

to anyone doubting the iPad mini, name one mac hardware flop in the last 5 years. They will sell 100 million units of these too. They just shit on the entire android tablet market.

Will the iPad Mini come with sandpaper for your fingers?

Steve Jobs in 2010...

Let's talk about the avalanche of tablets. First, there are only a few credible competitors. And they all have seven-inch screen. This size isn't sufficient to create great tablet apps.

And this size is useless unless you include sandpaper so users can sand their fingers down to a quarter of their size. We've done extensive testing and 10 inches is the minimum tablet size

Given that tablet users will have a smartphone in their pocket, there's no point in giving up screen size. Seven inch tablets are tweeners -- too big to be a phone, and too small to compete with the iPad."

If you core an Apple you can jack off with it and then EAT the Creamy Apple!!

meh......I'm waiting for the iPad Micro, iPad Nano, or preferably an iPad Pico (Not the DAMN Projector. lol).





iPad Nano:

When they make an iPad this small I'll be happy!!

Then I can use a sewing needle as a Stylus, which of course would serve as double duty for STABBING MYSELF IN THE EYE for ever buying an Apple Product!!!!

That iPad is WAY too big and the Mini just isn't quite small enough.


I'd like something that fits nicely on my damn Key chain.



Edit: FUCK ME!!! If the iPad Nano is anything like the size of the NEW iPod Nano, then it will still be WAY TOO BIG!!! ARGH!!!

In The Age Of Cloud Music, The iPod Nano Endures

iPod Nano 7th Generation New Design

New iPod Touch Release Date Slated For Late October: Report

"The new iPod Nano, priced at $149 with 16GB capacity, is "definitely not the same as the old Nano," according to TechCrunch. It is the thinnest iPod at 5.4 mm, made of mostly glass and aluminum."

"We'll never make a netbook, no use too small" - Jobs
Then 11' macbook air comes out.

"We'll never make a smaller tablet, they're shit" - Jobs
Then 7 incher comes out.

I hate Apple. They are the only company outside of the various world governments & religions capable of such mental manipulation.

Don't buy into the reality distortion.

Only one? OK

Apple TV
Released last year with promises of integrating Web video and television. But Apple only managed to convince two of the six major movie studios to sign on. Only sold 250,000 units. Jobs publicly dismissed it as "a hobby."
