    Is it just me that thinks the top of the Apple logo with the leaf looks like an arse with a turd coming out?

    I'd be lying if I said that didn't cross my mind.

    Can people please quit calling this iPad Air. There is ZERO chance a smaller iPad is called iPad Air. If anything it will be called iPad Mini because that's what everyone in the media and on blogs/tech sites have been calling it and a name the general public might be familiar with.

    #next_pages_container { width: 5px; hight: 5px; position: absolute; top: -100px; left: -100px; z-index: 2147483647 !important; }

    And if you can get it for cheap, maybe it should be called a StayFree Min-iPad?

    1) So long as you know what a person is referring to when they say iPad mini, iPad nano, or iPad Air it doesn't really matter how people refer an unannounced product.

    2) iPad Air makes a lot of sense so you're right that they probably won't name it something that reasonable.

    Why exactly does iPad Air make sense?

    Will this Kotex Minipad, ehrll..., Ipad mini blends better than either Iphone5 or Galaxy S3?


    I know that Iphone5 seems to blend faster than Galaxy S3. It's hard to believe that a more metallic object like Iphone5 will blend quicker than the cheapo plasticky Galaxy S3....

    2) I still don't see how you cold get all the pixels in the iPad (3) using the high density displays of the iPhone 5 but 4.27x larger sheets and expect it to be anything but more expensive than those devices. Making tech smaller, lighter and more power efficient costs money! That hasn't changed.


     


    1) The device that sucks the air out of the low end of the market would be the proposed $249 iPad Mini in the lineup.


     


    2) I never said that it would have the same higher quality displays as the iPhone 5 or iPad 3.  I said the same panel as in the iPod Touch 5th Gen which is $100 to $150 cheaper than the price points I suggested.  Thus the retina iPad Mini is in fact more expensive than the smaller example.  You can argue that $100-$150 more is an insufficient but that's not cheaper than the touch.

    Apple doesn't listen to what the general public says because if they did the iPhone 5 would have been calle... oh wait


     


    But seriously, I don't think that they are listening anyone on this one, we have zero clue on what they are going to call it.


    I think that Air sounds strange for an iPad, the MacBook was called that way because it was a lot slimmer and lighter.


    Mini feels right to me, and it would allow them to use one of their naming conventions again.


     


    And can someone explain to me how they could possibly price this at less than 300 $ when the iPod Touch is at 299$?


     


    I think it will be 349$.

    A large part of the answer appears to be the density. The S3 seems to be bouncing off the blades while the iPhone is heavy enough that it stays low enough to get hit by the blades more frequently.

    $349 for how many GB? Microsoft is selling 32GB Surface for $499 without the cover and people are bitching about it being too expensive.

    Here's a video comparison between the latest iPad and the Nexus 7 showing the damage from falls and submersion in water. I was pretty darn surprised at the water results. I think you will be too. (Hint: the Nexus7 may have a bit better build quality than you think)

    I had no idea that the phrase went back that far. Thanks.

    It doesn't apply to learning or knowledge, however, and I think you and your grandchildren would agree, sitting around in that iPad circle.

    Yeah, I was surprised too...  Originally I was going to attribute it to Bauhaus, but decided to look it up...  the Mies Van Der Rohe reference makes sense... but Robert Browning?


     


    That reminded me of something I learned in HS English:


     


     


    This:



    Quote:



    The year’s at the spring,


    And day’s at the morn;


    Morning’s at seven;


    The hill-side’s dew-pearled;


    The lark’s on the wing;


    The snail’s on the thorn;


    God’s in His heaven—


    All’s right with the world!




     


    Then this:



    Quote:


    That 'bird on the wing' thing...


    is just some more of Browning's clowning!


    Contrary to what you've heard...


    The wing is really on the bird!

    That makes me doubt that we'll see anything else.



     


     


    How about:


     


    a little MORE


     


    as in more than one thing to show!


     


     


     


     


    Oh.  What's that?  Me think me hears Santa's sleigh bells...
