iPad Mini...

I just looked at the sample "Cars" video on an Iphone 5 in a shop and it seemed to me better IQ than the IPAD mini

I think I'd prefer to watch a film on the Iphone than the Mini screen :(

please Apple retina and full colourspace screen asap please :)
 
One question, on the mini can you comfortably read web pages in landscape without zooming?

I'd question why you'd want to read web pages, especially forums, in landscape. That's the beauty of 3:4 aspect ratio, you can read like a book without any issues (and type with two thumbs like a phone).:)


The res is not an issue in the slightest. People seem to forget that at 1024x768 it is a similar resolution to a lot of laptops (my 13" is 1280x800) and they have easily usable resolutions.

IMO you have to stick your nose less than 6 inches from the screen to start to notice any pixels and who would do this but someone half blind who wouldnt benefit from a bigger resolution anyway.

Whilst yes it being a higher resolution would obviously be nice it should not be a deciding factor.

Oh and have to agree the normal iPad feels unnaturally heavy in comparison to the Mini.


I read about a foot away, when I'm on the tube etc, that's the great thing about the form factor and weight, you can read it like a book. You can see slight pixel issues at that distance but its not a killer issue.

It is so much more friendly form factor wise I agree, my old 10" touchpad feels huge in comparison!

I think I currently have the perfect set of device sizes at the moment, a ~4" phone, 8" tablet, 13" ultralight laptop (1440x900 - the HD resolution 1330x768 are horrible) and a 27" 2560x1440 desktop. Perfect for all travel and work occasions :D

I thought under EU law all electronics had a 2 year warranty anyway? :confused:

see i have never understood this because when i got mine today from argos they said do you want the 3 year extended warranty.I always say no but i just thought surely if you spend £270 surely you get more then 12 months,i remember buying computer monitors that use to come with 3 years onsite warranty and they were only about £100
 
Correct but you might have to fight to get the SOGA on your side against a retailer all depends how far your willing to go
