Oh dear! Oh deary me! All the pointed at a November of a smaller 7-8 inch . All the
gadget blogs said it was going to happen, there were even ‘sneak’ shots of ‘prototype’ bezels, but nothing! Well except a rather splendid looking Macbook Air refresh (which has already seen the ). It’s not just gadgeteers who’ve been let down by the lack of ‘ Mini’ (is the really that big?) but also the Shenzhen makers!
This (again) rather splendid looking
iPad clone was ready to
launch at the exact moment Job’s and co. were expected to
launch the newer, lighter, more e-book friendly ‘Tiny’
iPad.
There was no
iPad refresh however, and this little guy has had to drag itself into the market only to be compared to the rest of the clones already available.
Take a second to look at the little guy though! If Apple had made an ‘
Nano’ wouldn’t it have looked like this?
Sure those mini USB and micro SD card reader aren’t likely to make it on to an anytime in the near future, but the overall look is pure iPad!
Under the skin lies a 720Mhz CPU plus 256Mb of RAM and 2Gb of built in memory. The built in 3800mAh should keep you online for a few hours and the 3G plus WIFI connection will keep you entertained.
