Even though I'm fandroid honstley ipad mini way better thannexus 7 and samsung ttab7.7. Android with all these HD resulation and powerful chipset came with nexus 7 still can't beat ipad mini in terms of performance.

Finally.. A blog that recognize that the one year old Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 is one the iPad Mini main competition. Especially considering it has almost the same dimension as tne Mini. Plus the better resolution, Super Amoled screen, SD card expansion.. And.. t is also a phone! Oh wait.. Apple successfully banned the Tab 7.7 across Europe. There goes the competition..

Someone, 10 Nov 2012I hate to break it to you folks but here's the reality.
... morepeople who bought this device are:
1)people who have owned apple products before and HAVEN'T USED ANYTHING ELSE.
2)people who want to show off with their apple fruit logo.

It has only one speaker, the other is just fake. The mic is on the top if I know well.

In an ideal world, the iPad mini would've been out at least a year ago and competing against something like the Samsung Galaxy 7.7

[deleted post]Why you angry man? Try to relax, dont get carried away. Its a fact that apple users have more temper and if you read lots of threads here you will see that apple users are the first ones to start using negative characteristics of other people.
We android users are much more relaxed and contended, we dont easily get upset. But that doesnt mean we cant point out weaknesses in other products, and for the mini theres too many bad things, its so below todays standards.
Afford? Well, statistics tell us that iphone users are much more likely to get their phones with sim lock and on a 24 month contract, so who cannot afford to buy what you said? You honestly think the rest of us cannot afford $199 for a 24 month contract iphone5? It didnt occur to you that we dont like the restricted OS and the tiny displays and all the weird things apple is feeding its fans? We already established that iphone5 is very cheap (for those who cannot afford to cash out a sim free phone), so the price is NOT the problem, so why isnt everyone using iphone? Its because its inferior.

THD is really a utterly useless test, as you cannot hear distortion below 0.1% on a pure sinus tone. The problem then again is that music is complex, so distortion disappears further, so in pure types of music people can hear distortion at 1%. For house and whatever music types that often includes white noise on synths and so on this threshold will be even higher.
Anyway, im happy that GSMArena isnt trying to judge the real world audio quality, better leave that to the audiophiles, it takes years and years of experience to objectively judge audio quality.

iphone5, new earbuds, how good are they, lets see a review?
"Audio performance is not terrible, but there's an obvious lack of sonic clarity in every facet of their output. Bass, treble and midrange all bleed into each other, creating a bit of a muddy mess just like Apple earbuds of old."
"Verdict
There is no value to be found here. Buy something else."

I hate to break it to you folks but here's the reality.
As the review said, the iPad Mini has already sold MILLIONS.
It shows that Apple has produced what the general people want. Maybe not what YOU want.
Love it or hate it but Apple has ANOTHER hit on its hands.

Samsung 7.7 super amoled screen should be the one to compere with. It has a far much better screen, 16:9 ratio, sd slot, better cameras, faster processer and can even make phone calls! how about that!

Denzo, 10 Nov 2012Its a beautiful device.. simple, not the most gigabytes.. b... moreare you gonna put lipstick and perfume on your iPad mini to? Gadgets do not compare to women so what have you been smoking? you gotta also justify the price over beauty, functionality and what it offers. Nexus 7 does that, cheaper, has more to offer and is still decent looking.

Its a beautiful device.. simple, not the most gigabytes.. but its the most beautiful.. and the others dont understand we want something functional and pretty.
Just look at the opposite sex.. Id rather a pretty woman who is a bit stupid, than an ugly one who cleans good. Especially if its just for a quick, good time.
If my tablet is for a family this is different choice.. but tablet is just for fun.
