Apple’s iPad Mini Launch Draws Smaller Crowds Than Previous Product Debuts
Author: Brandon Zimmerman
The iPad mini formally went on sale today, and the response at physical retail shops has been mixed. Some locations are seeing decent-sized lines, according to Reuters this early morning, including Tokyo and Seoul Apple Stores with crowds of 100 or more, however generally, the updates company keeps in mind that crowds are smaller sized than they have actually been in the past for other launches. The Apple Shop in Sydney, for example, had 50 individuals in line when it opened compared with a line covering several blocks for the iPhone 5.
Some locations had more considerable lines than others, like the Amsterdam Apple Store, as well as Apple ’ s Munich location. And while lines in New York City lines appeared to be suffering as New Yorkers handled more important concerns, as of this morning it appears like lines at some places at least were creating considerably. At a shop in La Cañada, Spain , a decent-sized team of clients also queued. The Covent Garden Apple Store in the U.K. saw possibly one of the smallest crowds according to reports on Twitter, and at the Regent Road area you can obviously walk in and get an iPad mini today. And reports from numerous U.S. locations including Maryland, Ohio, Florida and Buffalo reveal just small lines in those areas just an hour or so ahead of shops opening on the east shore. Regional areas constantly have smaller sized lines than the bigger flagship stores, but for the iPhone 5 launch lines were substantially bigger in small town locations even at partner resellers like AT&T. Compared with previous device launches this year, the crowds are fairly underwhelming. About 450 individuals lined up in Tokyo ahead of the iPad 3 going on sale, as an example, and lines extended into the hundreds at locations around the globe. The iPad mini is a new classification of gadget for Apple, and individuals may not have actually had time to make up their minds about this novel item yet. Yet with other new gadget launches, like that of the initial iPad, lines were huge in a variety of spots. The iPad mini goes on sale in 34 markets today, and was readily available for pre-orders beginning Friday, October 26. Pre-orders sold out over the course of the very first weekend, but it stays ambiguous how lots of were readily available in that preliminary yield. Analyst estimations for initial iPad mini sales differ, but Piper Jaffray ’ s Gene Munster states to anticipate around 1.5 million, contrasted to the iPad 3 ′ s 3 million over the launch weekend. These lines suggest conservative estimates are likely on the right track, however it ’ s also worth noting that just the Wi-Fi versionof the
iPad mini goes on sale today, so consumers could possibly be awaiting its LTE-enabled brother or sister, which doesn ’ t ship until later on in November.

Galaxy S III changes pin layout, incompatible with previous MHL adapters
Author: Matthew Wilson
If you’ve pre-ordered a Galaxy S III and can’t wait to see its display mirrored to the silver screen, add one more thing to that pre-launch shopping list: a new MHL dongle. According to UK retailer Clove, a change in the phone’s connector pins renders it incompatible with previous Samsung-made adapters. Sammy’s new microUSB-powered connector supports 1080p output via HDMI — though it reportedly doesn’t play nicely with 720p displays — and rings up at $ 40 on Amazon. Mosey past the break for a video unboxing of the dongle.

Android 4.0 now on 7.1 percent of devices, still woefully behind previous versions
Author: Gabe Hall
Google tracks the different version numbers of Android devices that access Google Play (nee Android Market) and every month or two we check in to see how the latest versions are doing. The story this month is that Android 4.0, aka Ice Cream Sandwich, has managed to more than double its share since early April — it’s now at 7.1 percent. That’s a healthy jump, but even so it’s hard to avoid pointing out that previous versions of Android are still tenaciously hanging on to significant chunks of Android share. In fact, Android 2.3 increased it’s share in the previous two months by a small amount. Android 2.2 thankfully shrunk — but it still powers more than double the number of ICS devices accessing the market with 19.1 percent.

Google updates Gmail’s ‘people widget,’ now includes previous images
Author: Major Workman
When it comes to an ideal conduit for minor announcements, Google’s found a home on its very own social network. And this time, it’s telling the world about a small update to the people widget — that bar currently occupying real estate on the right-hand side of gmail.com. Along with showing the pertinent contact information from an email chain’s participants, the peep widge will now reveal the last three images sent to you by the displayed contacts. As one might expect, clicking on the pics will whisk you to its associated email, and provide a little extra context to that candid, landscape or Lolcat you’re staring at. Not the most exciting of additions, we’ll admit, but a little extra functionality never hurts. Right?

Oops! Motorola sold refurbished Xooms without deleting previous owners’ data
Author: Tiffany Shoman
Usually, when passwords and personal information are exposed, it’s because someone hacked a company’s not-so-secure system. Motorola, however, managed to put people’s info at risk without such malfeasance when it failed to wipe the memory of a batch of refurbished Xooms. The tablets in question were sold by Woot.com between October and December of last year, and Moto is claiming that it made the mistake on only small number of slates. Of course, we don’t know exactly how many Xooms were shipped with previous owners’ data onboard, but we do know that the company is actively attempting to make amends. Moto’s offering two years of Experian identification protection services to those whose info was exposed and owners of affected Xooms are getting a little something too. Just send the device back to Motorola on the company’s dime — where it’ll be properly reset and sent back to you, along with a $ 100 American Express gift card for your efforts. Wondering if you’re among the unlucky? Hit the PR after the break for more info, and those with Wooted Xooms can plug in their slate’s serial number at the source link below to find out for sure.
[Thanks, Scott]

Denying Previous Reports, Acer’s Founder States The Company Will Still Make Tablets
Author: Margo Tipton
Acer is not done with tablets. New models will be released in 2012. The company is apparently going to continue making Android tabs despite a slow start and reports stating the contrary. Acer’s founder, Stan Shih, likened it to the troubles the company experienced with early PC notebooks.
It’s a nice thought, but the man is wrong. Producing more tablets could be disastrous for Acer, which is already quickly sliding into a pool of red ink.
Modern tablets are not the same as notebooks. They’re completely different beasts with totally different markets. Succeeding at selling tablets requires completely different tactics than selling notebooks. Acer’s tried-and-true strategy of racing others to the bottom will not generate the same level of success.
Acer became a household name through selling relatively inexpensive computers. This generated a lot of sales but also a horrible reputation. Until just recently, Acer products were often looked upon as being the low hanging fruit of the computer world. They’re easy to obtain although not that tasty. But the process worked for Acer as the company surpassed Dell in 2009 to be the second largest computer maker behind just HP. Cheap, grey boxes sell.
Nondescript tablets are not the way of the future. Consumers either want an inexpensive tailored device or the iPad. Thirdly, as proved by Asus, a tablet designed by geeks for geeks is also another way. Anything in between is a non-starter. Acer’s Iconia Tab devices checks all the theoretical right boxes: Tegra 2 platform, the latest Honeycomb install, a good screen, dual cameras, and plenty of expansion ports. But if you’re shopping for specs, there is no reason to buy an Acer tablet over, say, a Asus Transformer or even a Samsung GalTab.
In the PC race, Acer simply cut corners and took shortcuts. It worked. But there aren’t many ways to do that with tablets. Only by loading the tablet with sponsored bloatware could the manufacturer theoretically support lower MSRPs — not that there’s that much room to work with anyway. Shin stated that the company will simplify its product development and reduce the amount of tablet and smartphone products.
Look at the current state of Android tablets and it’s clear Acer is in for a hard fight ahead. Amazon and B&N have their content distribution. Asus is building a tablet for the very niche geek crowd while Samsung and Motorola have their massive marketing might. Acer, on the other hand, doesn’t have anything but it’s reputation as a cheap computer maker which is a huge hindrances as tablets are positioned as premium devices. Acer is in serious trouble if it believes it can compete at a high level.

iPod touch locates nearby wireless hotspots, including protected networks. |
Accelerometer
iPod touch responds to motion using a built-in accelerometer.
Responds to Movement
iPod touch detects when you rotate it from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display. So you immediately see the entire width of a web page, view a photo in its proper aspect ratio, or control a game using only your movements.
How it Works
The accelerometer inside iPod touch uses three elements: a silicon mass, a set of silicon springs, and an electrical current. The silicon springs measure the position of the silicon mass using the electrical current. Rotating iPod touch causes a fluctuation in the electrical current passing through the silicon springs. The accelerometer registers these fluctuations and tells iPod touch to adjust the display accordingly.
Perfect for Gaming
Accelerometer technology really shines when you play games because it immerses you in the action. It’s perfect for racing games–where your entire iPod touch acts as a steering wheel–and for tap-and-tilt games like Super Monkey Ball, in which your character responds to your every movement.
Wireless
Connect iPod touch to the Internet anywhere there’s a wireless network.
Connect Automatically
iPod touch locates nearby wireless hotspots, including protected networks. If you’ve never used a particular network, it asks you to enter a password the first time, and it remembers the password from then on. So the next time you’re within range, it connects automatically.
Surf’s Up
Now you can send email from a coffee shop. Surf the web at the airport. Shop for games from your couch. Browse, buy, and download music from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store at select Starbucks locations or other wireless hotspots in your area.
