The most recent things that have been relased from Apple are the iPhone5 and the iPad Mini.

In my opnion I feel that the iPad Mini shouldn't have been created becasuse I think that the iPad and iPod are a good size. Granted its a good idea to create new products but this creation isn't like Apple.

Not wanting to spend a lot of money I opted to upgrade my iPhone 3 to an iPhone 4S. I paid $99.99 and renewed my wireless plan for another 2 years from AT&T. It has Siri and the OS6 operating system. And I improved my capacity from 8 GB to 16 GB. I am very pleased with it. I also got an Otterbox case for it as the case for the 3G didn't fit quite right.

I have an iPod Touch 4th Gen, will be getting an iPad 4th Gen. I think the Mini should have been created because all the 7inch Android tablets are creating a market and if Apple hadn't acted, they would have lost out on more market share than they already have.

I've been considering the iPad mini only because it's smaller and would be easier to carry around then an iPad. I love the iPad, don't get me wrong and even though the newwest iPad's graphics are better, the graphics on the iPad mini are better than the 1st gen iPad (which I have).

A friend was going to sell me his iPhone 4 but at last minute he decided to give it to his mum (which is understandeable). The price of the iPad mini are still a little expensive but it depends what's in your budget:

iPad Mini prices
Wifi Only
16GB $329
32GB $429
64GB $529

4G version
16GB $459
32GB $559
64GB $659

If I were to do this iPad mini, I'd get the 64GB 4G version. Then there's the iPad (newwest version):

iPad (newwest version)
Wifi Only
16GB $499
32GB $599
64GB $699

4G
16GB $629
32GB $729
64GB $829

Only $170 difference though between the iPad mini 64GB 4G and the iPad 64GB 4G

P.S. the iPad mini is the last thing the Steve Jobs created from what I was told. I'm very curious to actually hold it in my hand. I've seen some people use their iPad to take images and it looks like it would be awkward to hold and take a pic with the iPad. My iPad is heavy, lol.

So I got my 16GB 4th Gen iPad today, and it is one of the greatest tech purchases I've ever made. Just seeing the difference in app layouts on the iPad vs my iPod Touch is blowing my mind. Stuff like Flipboard and Zite look sooooo much more amazing on the larger screen. I am in love, lol.

I like the idea, but its just not the way Apple used to be. It seems that ever since Steve Job's left its just been going down hill. I'm still impressed with their products and will stay and Apple junkie, but they aren't what I expect from them. They still are the leading personal eletronics company in my opnion.

The iPad 4th Generation or as Apple likes to call it "The New iPad" is a great inovation for tablets. It's top notch but I can't afford it, but I like to buy one soon. However I am getting the iPhone5 as a nice update from my iPhone4 which is still running great but I'm due for an update with AT&T and I also want it really bad, lol!

I also have a first generation Kindle Fire that I got for free redeeming points on a website called Viggle. Viggle is an app that pays you points for watching TV. The Kindle Fire is a wifi only device, no camera, not all video sites will play on it. But it works well for me when I don't want to drag my big laptop back to my bedroom.In fact I'm writing this post on the Kindle

Nice. I actually had $250 (or $275, I forget) from Viggle that I put towards the iPad. Don't use Viggle anymore now since it has gone downhill since it started.

I see what ur saying Eric. These items that came out are the last of Steve Job's creativities that he personally had dealings with: iPad Mini, newwest iPad, newwest iPhone, etc. I hope they continue to follow in Steve's foot steps but some say that nobody else can. We'll see what happens.

Cool, I wasn't aware that you could use a kindle to access the internet, wow, I better get with the times, lol, jk. I guess cause I stick to Apple products and I don't pay any mind to others but perhaps I should look at others as an option since I can't afford everything on my list, lol.

The latest and greatest news on whats going on in the Apple world.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ynv5rvk4llY

There is some more talk about the Apple TV, however being the company that they are, they try not to release much information. They say that there is market for it, which if you really think about it, its true. There are many TV manufactures out there, but there arent too many Smart TVs, and the ones that are smart, really arent that smart anyway. If Apple is to create a TV I would actualy buy it, mainly because I am am Apple freak, but also becuase I could really find a good use for it.

I personally don't believe any of the rumors of a so called iPhone5S. I mostly don't belive it becuase on the iPhone4S the "s" stood for Siri, which the iPhone5 now has. So why would you rename it with an "s"? I think it would be the iPhone6 but even though it is actualy the 7th iPhone, but its all just rumors and we won't know for a while yet.
