iPad Mini unveiling October 23 – Our Specification Thoughts And Speculations

Every man and his dog seems to be posting iPad mini news so we thought we’d jump on that bandwagon as well, especially since it seems October 23 2012 will be iPad mini release day. The thing is for all those “wanting” the mini, has anyone used the Nexus 7 to get a feel for the form factor and practicality?  I have my first Android tablet now and I’m mixed on the size, why would I want to do tasks on a smaller screen if I’m going to the hassle of pulling it out of my tech bag?

Flaregate : Apple has it’s say on the matter

Before I head into a long old rant about this, doesn’t sun refract like this when hitting any clear surface? For example a car window with the sun directly in front will cause a flare will it not?  I use my iPhone 4s exclusively for taking all the pictures at EssentialMac and guess what, if the sun is shining in the wrong / right place you get lense flare.  More often than not a few degrees of movement remove’s the flare.  Lense flare is cool anyways, look at the Transformers movies 😉

4G EE (Everything Everywhere) Launches 30th October

You’ll need to be in the right area, have the right phone but if you meet those requirements 4G services in the UK will be yours.

Apple’s iOS 6 vs. Android Jelly Bean

In the world of mobile operating systems, two platforms stand head and shoulders above the rest: Android and iOS. Traditionally, Apple’s iOS has always had a distinct advantage over Google’s Android. Compared to early versions of Android, iOS was more intuitive, smoother, less buggy, and just an all-round better piece of software; however, with every new version, Google has been able to close the gap. When 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich was released, Android showed the world an operating system that was every bit as good as iOS 5, now with version 4.1 Jelly Bean upon us, the Google-owned OS has taken things to the next level, surpassing what was offered on the iPhone 4S. Never one to be outdone though, Apple has unveiled the iPhone 5 with iOS 6 with a various improvements and upgrades from their earlier operating system. Both OS’s are undoubtedly great, but which one is the best?

Scratchgate : Why Is Everyone Trying to Destroy an iPhone 5 These Days?

Scratch tests, drop tests, hammer tests, running the iPhone 5 over with a car,  it just amazes me the lengths that the internets will go to just to see how “easy” it is to scratch or damage the new iPhone.  I’m all for comparative tests but why do we never see a batch of real-world tests? Why isn’t anyone recording an afternoon of pulling their new iPhone in and out of their pockets with some keys in there?  Or recording that accidental moment when you put your iPhone into a pocket full of loose change.  How about a test of getting into your car and the phone is in your ass cheek pocket?
