iPad Mini release date

iPad Mini release date

There's not even an official sign from Apple that the iPad Mini/iPad nano is in the works, so a release date for the tablet is even more up in the air.

However, if the rumours turn out to be true, we can expect Apple to start rolling out the iPad Mini very soon after an extraordinarily over-hyped launch event. Most rumours suggest it's likely to happen well before Christmas.

Analyst Shaw Wu says the "exact timing" for an iPad mini release date "is difficult to predict", but said its launch is a "question of when, not if." Pretty confident are we, Shaw?

The latest rumour in the mill of iPad Mini release dates comes from an unknown source (*sigh*), which claims we'll see Apple take to the stage on September 12 to show off the next handset, alongside the iPhone 5.

Or... the iPad Mini may be getting its own launch event in November, because stock of the tablet won't be ready for a September release.

When Apple announced its annual WWDC event running from June 11-15, which sold out in just two hours, there was some speculation that we could see the Cupertino firm announce the iPad mini there, but no new iPad broke cover at WWDC.

Previous iPad Mini release date rumours include:

Update: A report straight out of China suggests that key Apple manufactures Foxconn and Pegatron have started to receive orders for the new iPad mini. It goes on to say the factories will have 6 million units ready for a launch in Q3 of 2012.

Update: An iMore source claims that the iPad Mini will be ready by October 2012. Hold on to your hats people!

Update: A Taiwanese source has claimed that the mini iPad will be in the hands of consumers before Christmas, with a third quater launch on the cards.

Update: According to Bloomberg, an unnamed source said a tablet with a screen size of "7 to 8 inches diagonally" will arrive before 2012 reaches its close.

Update: The Wall Street Journal reports that sources in Apple's Asian supply chain have revealed the iPad Mini will go into production from September.

Buying Guide

Best cheap tablets: top budget options

Apple is known for its extravagant products, launch events and pricing policies, but the iPad Mini may herald a new era for those who long for an Apple device, but simply can't part with an arm and a leg to buy one.

It's thought that Apple's idea behind the iPad nano is to tackle the budget end of the market, where the Amazon Kindle Fire is currently king.

The New York Times has spoken to people "with knowledge of the project", who claim the iPad Mini will be significantly cheaper than the current iPad.

Galaxy S3 hands on review

Starting from Design:

Design

The Samsung Galaxy S3 is, according to Samsung anyway, 'inspired by nature – it sees, listens, responds, and allows you to share the greatest moments'.

While this is all a little hyperbolic, the nature theme is certainly present when you handle the phone for the first time.

Brushed polycarbonate – you've got a choice of 'Marble White' and 'Pebble Blue' – adorns the large device, which runs in with dimensions of 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6mm, despite still having to pack in a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED HD screen.

We'll lay it out right now: the plastic feeling of the Galaxy S3 won't appeal to all. It feels very lightweight (despite tipping the scales at 133g) in the hand, and some people will read this as feeling a little cheap.

However, it's exactly the same sensation as we found on the Galaxy S2, and given the silly numbers of sales that had, we think there's more than a market for a phone that you'll barely notice in your pocket most of the time.

But we'll be very clear on this - the Galaxy S3 is not a cheap-feeling phone. It's got a really solid Gorilla Glass 2 front, a well-packaged interior and a more robust battery cover. It's polycarbonate rather than bog-standard plastic, although we're not sure some people will like the more rounded nature of the design.

However, despite being made of similar material, there's no doubt that theOne X feels more premium in the hand thanks to being a touch more weighty… there's something about something so large being so light that some will find disconcerting.

Amendment: the HTC One X is actually 3g lighter than the S3, but despite carrying both around at once, the S3 still felt lighter, which shows the way texture can affect the way a phone feels in the hand.

There's no doubt in our minds that the Pebble Blue offering is the much more attractive option, as the Marble White looks similar to a low-endGalaxy Mini or similar – the brushed effect is really necessary.

Compared to rest of the Galaxy line, the S3 has more in common with the original Galaxy S than the S2, with curved edges the theme in the design language. The home button has also been elongated, although the same menu and back buttons remain from the prequel.

Overall, the effect is much more like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus than anything else – rounded edges, HD screen but with a more minimal bezel to really accentuate the larger screen in the hand.

The button design around the phone has been well thought out in our opinion - for a phone this big it's very difficult to make all the keys accessible, so putting the lock button on the right-hand side rather than the top makes a large degree of sense.

The addition of the lozenge-shaped home button, and its softkey 'Back' and 'Menu' buttons are great additions in our eyes, as it means contextual menus can be found easily without needing to mess around looking for the on-screen icon.

The volume up and down button is parallel to the lock key on the left-hand side of the phone, and also within easy reach when holding the Galaxy S3 in the hand.

The microUSB slot is placed at the bottom of the phone - easy to find with a charger but it will be interesting to see how it's used when placed in docks and car cradles.

The battery cover is also made of the same polycarbonate material as the rest of the body. Yes, you read that right - the battery cover is removable!

This means that not only can switch the battery in and out - a key consideration for many people - there's also a cheeky surprise in the shape of a microSD slot next to the microSIM port. Expandable memory? This just gets better and better.

This means that theoretically you'll be able to have a 128GB-capacity Samsung Galaxy S3 if you combine the top spec of internal memory (64GB) with the largest microSD card around at the moment (64GB)... making it a mouth-watering prospect for those that love a spot of media.

Sure, there are stats that say only 10% of users regularly go over 16GB of storage, but there's always the lower end version of the Galaxy S3 for that... but with HD movie downloads becoming far more prevalent, plus the influx of HD apps, we're thinking more space is an excellent idea.

But overall, in the hand, the Samsung Galaxy S3 feels superb. The design contours well against the palm, and while the screen size may be a little big for some (you'll need a bit of shuffling to reach the upper section of the screen) it's definitely useable in the hand.

So in short: if you don't mind a slightly lighter-feeling polycarbonate shell and you like big HD screens in your pocket, this is a phone definitely worth checking out.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 review

Galaxy Note 2 Review: Device presented at Samsung Unpacked in Berlin! [video + early review]

 Finally, we can feast on Samsung's latest creation, the Galaxy Note 2, a brilliant 5.5 inch smartphone featuring Super AMOLED HD and a 1.6 GHz quad-core Exynos processor! While it is still early for a full on front Galaxy Note 2 review, we can give our early opinions and state the facts for you. The Galaxy Note 2 was just presented today at the Samsung Unpacked event in Berlin and fans were stunned by its awesome features and specs.

 Granted, the Note 2 does remind us of the Galaxy S3 smartphone a bit too much, but this can only be a good thing and you can rest assured that the Galaxy Note 2 is quite a unique device. So, are you ready to dive into this early Galaxy Note 2 review?

First Galaxy Note 2 press photo, more photos and a video in the rest of this article!

 The Galaxy Note 2 is quite an impressive device and you can look at the full list of specsto judge for yourself. If we had to highlight something in this Galaxy Note 2 review then that would be the brilliant quad-core processor, the improved Stylus and the brilliant camera as well as the record-braking 5.5 inch screen. The Galaxy Note 2 really has a lot going on for it and it is no longer just an improved version of the previous generation as some rumors online called it.

 The company has even made the Note 2 available with the latest Android OS - Jelly Bean which should be appreciated by everyone, especially the more advanced users. Of course the OS has been modified to suit the phones needs, especially those of the new S-Pen and its features.

The Galaxy Note 2 and the redesigned S-Pen

  The redesigned S-Pen gives a whole new perspective the the Galaxy Note 2 as well and I can already see that it will be a tricky subject of future Galaxy Note 2 review sessions. The new rubber tip is supposed to make it feel more natural - as if you are writing on a piece of paper. It is hard to tell until we get a chance to mess around with it, but those who were at the event say that the feeling was amazing. For the developers, there will also be an S-Pen SDK version 2.2 available for download soon.
