All eyes will be on Apple tomorrow, as the iPad mini officially launches. It's a new product for the company, and a new market, so pundits and analysts alike are anxious to see how the 7.9-inch tablet fairs.
Starting at $329, a lot of people think it's overpriced. And with its A5 processor and no Retina display, it's been described as outdated. But that doesn't mean that Apple won't sell a ton of them this weekend...
Chitika summoned the data from its 200,000 mobile websites and some 4 billion ads to bring you its latest report on mobile web traffic. The advertisement firm does this every couple of months to give some insight on which mobile devices folks are using to browse the web.
Surprise. According to the latest numbers, which come from data pulled between September and October, Apple's iOS devices are still very much ahead of Samsung and other competitors. In fact, they account for more than 65% of the mobile web traffic in North America...
Apple has filed its end of the year 10-K document, a performance report required of all companies by the SEC (Security Exchange Commission), and as you might expect, it contains some pretty interesting information about the iPad-makers.
Perhaps most interesting is that it names Scott Forstall's new official title at the company, following Monday's announcement that he is no longer the SVP of iOS software: Special Advisor to the Chief Executive Officer...
As Apple launches the iPad mini on Friday, the company will, for the first time in recent memory, be entering a crowded, well-established marketplace. Both Google and Amazon have been successfully selling 7-8-inch tablets for quite some time now.
We'll never know just how well Amazon's Kindle Fire HD is selling, as they don't release sales figures, but we do get a glimpse of Google's Nexus 7 numbers this morning. And they're pretty good. Asus' CFO says they're moving almost 1 million per month...
Apple has taken some heavy criticism over the past few days regarding the iPad mini's price tag. Starting at $329, a lot of folks feel that it has priced itself out of the 7-8-inch tablet market, which is dominated by $200 slates.
Well if that's the case, then someone forgot to tell consumers. Because according to Apple's website, the company has sold out of its initial pre-order stock of all Wi-Fi iPad minis during the tablet's first 72 hours of availability...
While going over its sales figures for the quarter yesterday, Apple once again neglected to mention the Apple TV. In fact, it wasn't even until an analyst asked a question about it, that Tim Cook spoke of the product.
This should kind of give you an idea of how Apple views the $99 set top box. It's obviously not near as important as say the iPhone or, any of its other iOS devices. But that doesn't mean that it's not selling well...
Apple just announced its financial results for Q4 2012, and is now finishing up its earnings call. As promised, we’ve put together a list of some of the more interesting bits from the call to pass on to you.

Well it's finally happened folks. After years of speculation and anticipation, Apple has announced the iPad mini. As expected, it has a 7.9-inch display, front and back cameras, and an LTE option.
Phil Schiller just announced that pre-orders for the tablet start this Friday, October 26th. And the Wi-Fi only versions will start shipping November 2nd, and + cellular models a week later.
So what's Apple going to charge for this thing?
Now that we know all about the new iPad mini, its features, and its price tag, it's time to take a look at the technical specifications of the tablet. How is it going to measure up to Apple's other devices performance-wise?
Phil Schiller breezed over this a bit on stage, saying that the iPad mini was equal to or better than the iPad 2 in almost every way. And to prove it, Apple's just posted a full list of iPad mini tech specs on its website...
The moment we've all been waiting for is here. Tim Cook is now on stage at the California Theatre, and after years of rumors and speculation, it would seem that Apple is finally about to announce the iPad mini.
As usual, Cook has started off the event by rattling off a number of interesting statistics regarding Apple's recent milestones and accomplishments. We've got a list of all of the numbers after the break...
I don't consider myself a hardcore iOS gamer, but I'll try almost any recommended title once, as long as it's free. I'm sure there's more than 200 games in my App Store's Previous Purchases tab to back that up.
