LOL. Sige go try to multitask on the ipad. Go and try watching video formats like .avi(xvid). Go and try downloading torrents. Go and try connecting USB OTG for extra storage. Go and try drop-dragging files on it. Pang facebook, twitter, instagram lang yan ng mga boploks. Kayang kaya yan ng Java phones na walang specs. lol.
Ang iPad isa lang malaking laruan, pinalaking iPod Touch, wala ng iba pa.

Dude lahat naman ng bunaggit mo eh feature. I am talking about iver all experience in ralation to specs. Taas ng specs ng nexus 7 comoared to mini but how come the nexus 7 stutters sa simpleng pag scroll. Whatever happned to project butter? Nawala even with the latest jelly bean update. It is not as responsive as the mini na meron lang 512mb na rm. LOL try installing games as well. Naglalag mga games with nexus 7. I know because i have one. Dead trigger lang nag crash na agad. :). Be objective, hindi porket i say mini as giving better exoerience eh masama at boplaks na ako. Lol. Ano ba kotse mo? Lol

Hi Sir Abe,

I just want to know if there’s an option for personal hotspot for ipad mini 4g, that was bought here in the philippines?

Thanks…

The hotspot feature is network dependent.not ipad mini dependent. If you have a globe postpaid data only pan, hotspot works.

@Ian – Its not a network service provider feature man. Its in the software and hardware part of the device though the data you need to use that is provided by the carrier

They’re already on display at official apple resellers. It certain looks good – thin and light. Quite gorgeous actually. It is a bit wide. I have big hands and while I can hold it one-handed, it won’t be comfortable for more than 5 minutes. The display is not that crappy but also not quite as nice as the nexus 7. While operating is as smooth as ever it’s not as snappy as the iPad 3 and certainly not on the same level as the iPad 4. I think I’ll wait for the 2nd gen iPad mini.

i say,

when i saw the ipad mini earlier today at Power Mac festival. i fell in luv. HARD. despite the not so sharp screen. everything seems to be perfect (for me po ha!)

the PREMIUM built. the size. the simple elegant design. even the isight cam.

i actually sold my ipad3 so i am planning to buy the 64GB…

but the nexus 7 is also very tempting.

Kala ko ba dead on arrival ang 7inches tablet according to steve jobs.

Anyway, iPad mini is just iPad2 na pinaliit. I’d rather go for Nexus 7 which has better specs and multitasking capable. At 17K na price, 3G capable na.

The iPad Mini is 7.9 inches. Steve Jobs (via Tim Cook) keeps his word, sort of… no 7 inch tablets.

CNET, the #1 tech blog, declared the nexus 7 the winner when they matched it against the iPad mini

The nexus 7 has a clear edge over the iPad mini when it comes to features and value.

The iPad mini at 15k is actually a pretty good deal. One of the Nexus 7’s biggest advantage was its price and despite the lackluster hardware compared to the Nexus 7, I believe the OS would make up for it.:) I would still consider both though.:)

If you’re an apple fan, go for iPad Mini. Otherwise, go for Nexus 7. No need to argue who’s who. depende lang sa taste mo. Now, if you’re whining about the price, deal with it. ;)

Anyone knows how many days it takes to have the iPad mini delivered? I placed my order this morning, and I’m thinking it should be less than 2 weeks.

the main thing is this: whether you go with nexus or ipad mini, it wont matter much. but the thing is, apple will always improve itself, and sooner or later apple will release its 2nd gen ipad mini; for me it wont matter if you will choose between the two. its by your own discretion. but i have my ipad mini wifi-3g mainly for internet and ebooks, and i must rate it 9/10 for the experience. as per my friends with nexus, if you are a gamer, you better go with nexus. i mean that’s as per their opinion. its still up to you in the end where to go and what to buy.
