| iDownloadBlog is giving away an iPad mini Posted: 25 Oct 2012 05:30 PM PDT
After months of rumors and leaks, the iPad mini was finally unveiled. Bigger than an iPod touch, yet smaller than a full size iPad, the mini is set to be Apple’s most successful product for the holiday season. While the iPad mini will be available on November 2nd in many countries, we suspect supplies might be limited, and chances are Apple might not be able to make them fast enough to meet the demand. Because we want to make sure you spend the holidays with an iPad mini, we decided to give one away to one lucky reader…(...)

| Jailbreaking your iPhone is still legal, your iPad not so much Posted: 25 Oct 2012 05:27 PM PDT
On July 26, 2010, the Library of Congress ruled that under the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act), jailbreaking was legal. This was a big deal at the time, as prior to the ruling the legality of jailbreaking was a bit of a mystery. The decision was part of a list of DMCA exemptions, which unfortunately just expired. So the Library announced a new batch of exemptions today. And although jailbreaking is still legal, it appears there are some significant caveats…(...)

| Low touch screen yields blamed for the iPad mini’s price tag Posted: 25 Oct 2012 01:30 PM PDT
With so many people seemingly disappointed that the iPad mini starts at $329 rather than $249 or even $199, we polled you ahead of the announcement on the price and only seven percent thought only Apple could get away with pricing the device at $329. And yesterday, in another poll more than forty percent said they would be getting one (more than half would opt for the entry-level WiFi-only model). No question some people will go for a Nexus 7 or Amazon’s Kindle Fire because not everyone can afford a $300+ tablet. But why exactly Apple didn’t make a sub-$300 iPad? According to supply chain sources, low yields for touch screens are to blame…(...) "Low touch screen yields blamed for the iPad mini’s price tag" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| Report: Apple launching a radio service in early-2013 Posted: 25 Oct 2012 12:52 PM PDT
Just as we’re counting down until markets close and Apple reports its quarterly earnings, Bloomberg conveniently publishes a report about work on Apple’s own Internet radio service apparently slated for early next year. The iPhone maker reportedly has “intensified negotiations” with major record labels about launching an iAd-supported online radio service. These talks currently focus on various advertising revenue sharing schemes, with the final deal possibly on the horizon by mid-November. In addition to an upfront fee, music companies reportedly demand a percentage of iAd sales and the ability to insert their own commercials for artists…(...)

| Poll: which iPad mini will you be pre-ordering? Posted: 25 Oct 2012 12:17 PM PDT
Apple, as you know, starts taking pre-orders for the iPad mini tomorrow, October 26, through its online store in 26 different countries. Friday the following week, WiFi-only models are scheduled to land simultaneously on store shelves in 34 countries around the world with the WiFi + Cellular model arriving “a couple of weeks after the WiFi models”, according to Apple. You can place your pre-order for any iPad mini model, either cellular or WiFi-only, at midnight tonight. The device will also be available in the United States on carriers AT&T, Sprint and Verizon Wireless. The 16GB WiFi version starts at $329. The more capacious models each cost a $100 more than the previous one. Want 4G LTE capability? That’s a $130 extra versus its WiFi-only counterpart. So, which iPad mini is you?(...)

| Microsoft’s Surface is here, high-tech ad proclaims Posted: 25 Oct 2012 11:53 AM PDT Look what just surfaced on Microsoft Surface team’s YouTube channel. This television commercial could be equally confusing to those who deemed the previous Movement ad too childish to begin with and perhaps over-the-top. One thing is certain: Microsoft is determined to make as much noise as possible about this tablet. The company today officially launched Windows 8 and will begin selling the Surface on Friday. Apple the same day is scheduled to put its iPad mini on sale across 34 countries worldwide. Armchair estimates peg advertising expenditure for Windows 8 and Surface launches anywhere in the ballpark of $1-$2 billion. I’ve also included a new making-of video for the Movement ad right below…(...) "Microsoft’s Surface is here, high-tech ad proclaims" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.
