Apple iPad mini 2

The iPad mini with Retina screen is everything the little tablet deserved to be - a more compact equal of the bigger iPad with no compromises made. And unfortunately, it's just one thing short of what we all thought a compact tablet should be - cheap. Well, Apple isn't exactly known for selling cheap, it's quite on the contrary.
Last year's iPad mini was more of a byproduct of the iPad lineup - with a significantly cheaper price, a different design and somewhat inferior hardware, the baby iPad was quite different to its full size sibling. This year marks a shift in Apple's product strategy. Now, the two new iPads are equals - with the mini being merely a scaled down version of the same spectacular screen tech and the same high-performance internals.
There's been no corner cutting this time and the new iPad mini is more expensive as a result. We guess the price hike comes only to highlight the iPad mini's new standing in the pecking order - it's no longer the budget option - it's the more portable version of the same flagship product. A lower price point would have also hurt the big iPad sales because the two tablets are not at all that different.
You would actually be amazed how identical the two look. But that's a good thing in a sense. Users no longer have to pick one of the two based on feature set or design, or bezel size for that matter. Now, you can just pick the size that's right for you. The high-end user experience is all there without any give or take.

Comparing it to its predecessor, the Apple iPad mini with Retina screen looks no different either, but that's until you turn it on. The new screen is impressively sharp and the new chipset is blazing fast, meaning loading times in most apps are noticeably faster now. The Wi-Fi speeds have doubled, there is a seriously bigger battery inside, there is a second mic for noise cancellation and now you have a brand new 128GB version, if you've got the money to burn - the last generation iPad mini maxed out at 64GB.

Main disadvantages

  • Expensive for a compact tablet
  • Non expandable memory, extra storage is largely overpriced
  • Tied into iTunes for uploading most of the content
  • No standard USB port
  • No GPS receiver in the Wi-Fi-only version
The new iPad mini is exactly the same size like last year's with a mere .3mm difference in thickness. You wouldn't feel that sort of difference even if you had both in your hands. What you may notice is the difference in weight. The new iPad mini is 23g heavier to accommodate the larger battery, which should deliver the same endurance despite the quadrupled resolution.
The new dual-core 64-bit A7 chipset inside the new mini jumps two generations ahead of the A5 processor in the original. It's not that the older mini was sluggish, but the new device is notably faster and more responsive in almost all apps we tried.
Last season's bigger iPad at least had the luxury of being more powerful but those days are gone. Now the two size of iPads have equally good specs, which kinda puts the iPad Air in a sticky position. It's true that the bigger Air is easier to carry than any other full-size iPad and the slimmer frame helps single-handed operation but there's no avoiding the fact that the iPad mini is the friendlier form factor.
The iPad mini's handling and portability could be the big decider for a lot of people who are eyeing a new iPad for Christmas. To be honest, we don't think Apple will mind no matter which one you pick.

Apple is Now the World’s Most Valuable Brand

A report by global brand consultants Interbrand has revealed that Apple has overtaken Coca-Cola to be the world’s most valuable brand. The yearly “Best Global Brands” report lists an exhaustive methodology in determining its valuation, including financial analysis, brand loyalty as well as brand influence.
Apple’s rise follows that of other technology companies in this year’s rankings: Google jumped two spots to rank second this year from fourth in 2012, Microsoft retained its fifth placing while Samsung continued its impressive run to place eighth this year after jumping eight spots last year to place ninth.
Of course, for every rise in rank, there are other companies slipping down the list. IBM and Intel both dropped one spot from last year’s rankings, while Nokia ranked 19th last year, dropped out of the top 50 into 57th, and BlackBerry – placed 93rd last year – dropped out of the top 100 entirely.
Head on to the source link below for the full list of the Top 100 Global Brands of 2013.

Apple iPhone OS and Android are a challenge

RIM will reduce staff. But Nokia has to suffer most from the pressure of ever cheaper Android. In the quarter April to June, sales of smart phones including Samsung have been estimated as 18 and 21 million units, compared with 16.7 million and 20.3 million Nokia iPhone. The proliferation of Android smart phones like the Samsung does not seem to worry Galaxy smaller suppliers such as HP or Apple, but it is certainly a threat at this time fatal to RIM and Nokia in particular, time is the market leader, with sales now derives mainly from mobile phones to medium low and affordable price outside the mature markets. Precisely in this band is focusing on the offensive end of the new Android low cost. Nokia has turned the tables and to some extent abandoning Symbian Phone for Windows, but until you update to Windows Phone 7.5, the difficulties seem to be doubled. Nokia has reported a net sales decline of 7 percent with a decline in operating margin of 41 percent. Stephen Elop, CEO of Nokia, accompanying the results of his company wrote: “The challenges we face during our strategic transformation of the expected larger occurred in the second quarter of 2011.” According to Nokia Elop resources are even more focused on sales, marketing and potential sales channel. In the last month Elop has shown a prototype model of smart phones like the N9, now equipped with Meego, who went on board Windows Phone. But at this point will need a few innovative smart phones too much time to change the course of the current market.
