蘋果今日發(fā)布iPad Mini 平板電腦市場群雄爭霸
After months of rumors, Apple unveiled the iPad Mini -- a smaller version of its popular iPad tablet -- at an event Tuesday at San Jose's California Theater.
Measuring 7.9 inches from corner to corner, the iPad Mini will be in direct competition with similarly sized Android tablets from the likes of Amazon, Google, Samsung and HTC. The three previous editions of the iPad were all 9.7 inches across.
The iPad Mini is Apple's attempt to hit back and gain a foothold in the market for lower-priced tablets.
The Nexus 7, like many other 7-inch tablets, starts at $199. A Wi-Fi-only version of the iPad Mini will start at $329 for a 16GB model, while a Wi-Fi+cellular version will start at $459. Pre-orders for the iPad Mini begin Friday, October 26 -- the same day Microsoft's own Surface Tablet debuts -- and will shop on November 2.
