iPad Mini arrives in SG, we go hands-on

Listen to article

我们今天抵达新加坡,参加HTC Windows Phone 8手机及升级版HTC One X+的发布会。我们还在樟宜机场的一家 Apple 经销商门店购买了 iPad Mini。

不幸的是,所有库存都在上午8点开始发售单位后售罄(我们大约在中午12点到达)。尽管他们限制每位顾客限购一台,但iPad Mini的需求依然非常旺盛。

店里还有两台样机,所以我们花了一些时间试用、拍照和录像,并尝试用它支付了一段时间。我们几周前购买了第五代 iPod Touch,我们的第一印象与此非常相似,只是稍大一些。

屏幕分辨率不错,虽不如 iPad 3/iPad 4 惊艳,但与 iPad 2 非常相似。屏幕亮度也不够高。

非常明显的一点是这款平板非常纤薄轻盈——其厚度几乎与 iPhone 5 相当。背面的黑色镀铬涂层也与 iPod Touch 5G 相同。

坦白说,我觉得单手很难握持(就像广告和 Apple 网站上展示的那样),所以我认为没有人会那样握持它。

这是我们拍摄的 iPad Mini 的短视频(人们也排起了长队,想近距离观看)。

虽然该设备在新加坡的建议零售价为新币448元(约合菲律宾比索15,700),但您无法以该价格在新加坡购得。今日iPad Mini在灰色市场的平均价格为599美元(约21,000菲律宾比索),部分甚至高达660新币(约23,000菲律宾比索)。

今晚在SM林广场转了一圈,甚至因为这里的一些欺诈行为与一名卖家发生了激烈争执(详细故事稍后发布)。

Hi Sir Yuga,

Is the Ipad mini better than the Ipad 3?

Looking forward for your review and recommendation.

Thank you.

Bought one in Courts since most Epicentre shops were sold out. $578 for a 32 GB wifi only. No fanfare experience. :)

It is only as wide as a Reader’s Digest magazine so it’s really easy to grasp with one hand.

Why is it released in Singapore and not in the Philippines? Why must the philippines be constantly deprived of technology?

Maybe because SG is 1st world country and PH is 3rd world?

Mas mura pa pala kay DBGadgets @ Php 20k kung ganun?whew. Will wait for the price to settle down.

Not as portable and useable with one hand, no?

Hello Yuga,

Since you’re going to a WP8 event, could you verify if WP8 has adressed the wifi-disconnect issue?? On WP7, the phone disconnects from wifi when locked/put on sleep. Is the same still true for WP8 devices?

Thanks.
