A few hours ago, Apple revealed its latest addition to the iPad family, the iPad Mini. With the growth of tablet consumption (sounds medical) and its stranglehold on this market, it makes sense that Apple give consumers another option – I believe that the iPad Mini is aimed particularly at the eBook market.

Apple have just release another update to iOS. This is version 5.1.1. So convenient being able to update via mobile data these days without having to plug in.
The most important feature of this update is improved reliability of HDR photo capture when in screen lock mode. Will definitely be testing this out today.

In January, I wrote a post about rumours of the next iPad. Earlier today (2am Hong Kong time), it was nice to see most of those rumours become fact – 6 out of 9 is not bad! The most significant change is to do with the screen: the screen resolution has increased from 1024 x 768 to a Retina display with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 which equates to 3.1 million pixels. To the non-tech person, this basically means that the screen has far more detail than the iPad 2 and pixels are almost invisible to the human-eye.

I’ve been working with Nuffnang since 2009 and can honestly say that they have been one of the biggest factors of our online success. Not only have they opened up new channels of advertising on the MRGADGET.COM.AU website but have also helped provide increased exposure for the site by awarding us with the Best Geek Blog in Asia Pacific in 2009!

Took this photo this morning to give you a size comparison of the iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab (currently reviewing) and the iPhone 4. Some people think that the Samsung Galaxy Tab is far too big to use on a daily basis or as a replacement for their current smartphone. As for me, the more I use it, the more I get used to and like the larger screen real estate especially for eBook reading, Twitter and Facebook!

After having my iPad for a couple of days, I realised how some of the drawing tasks could be completed much more efficiently and accurately using a stylus. Within a couple of hours, I was exchanging emails with our overseas partners who quickly sent over specifications and images of what they could offer. We spotted the style that we wanted and voila (see above) – presenting the Mr.Gadget iPad Stylus.
