Apple has managed to continue remaining at the top of the tablets’ list with its iPad and iPad Mini, even though Google did steal some of its limelight with its bestselling Nexus 7. But can the Nexus 7 remain a popular choice even when Apple unveils its latest iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2 in the near future? Display: While the Nexus 7 has a brilliant resolution of 1280X800 pixels, the iPad Mini’s 1024X768 pixels could barely compare with it. However, the iPad Mini 2 could possibly change things if it comes with the Retina Display, bumping its resolution all the way to 2048X1536 pixels. Tech specs: The Nexus 7 is powered by a powerful quad-core 1.2 GHz processor and 1 GB of RAM. We couldn’t really say the same about the iPad Mini, but the iPad Mini 2 could be powered by a brand new Apple A7 processor, which [+more]

The tablet market is ever growing and as more users invest in tablets, there are more choices hitting the market every month. The latest tablet on the block is Samsung’s very own Galaxy Note 8.0, an 8-inch tablet with the S-Pen. But does it have what it takes to take on the likes of the Apple iPad Mini, Google Nexus 7 and the Amazon Kindle Fire? The tablet has an all-plastic body, very typically Samsung and an 8-inch display with a resolution of 1280X800 pixels. In terms of screen resolution, it does fare better than its completion, but we wonder if the iPad Mini 2 with Retina Display will spoil this success in a short while.

Google Nexus 7 went on to become one of the hottest selling tablets in the 7-inch category, until Apple came out with its popular iPad Mini. This 7.9-inch offering from Apple also went on to do pretty well in the markets and both devices are among the most popular tablets currently available. But Samsung’s just stepped into the rink with its latest Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet which comes with the S-Pen. Although it’s priced higher than the Nexus 7 and the iPad Mini, it does come with the benefit of being used as a phone/phablet so you can make calls, send and receive SMSs, in addition to doing all that you could with a tablet. However, if you are price conscious, the Nexus 7 makes for a good buy for you. In terms of dimension, the iPad Mini is the lightest among the 3 at 308g, while the other two [+more]

Just yesterday, Canonical gave us a sneak-peek into the Ubuntu Phone experience by releasing the Preview version of the OS. The actual version for tablets will hopefully come out sometime next year, so we decided to ditch the wait and play around with the Preview until then. We loaded it on the Google Nexus 7 to see how the OS would work on a tablet. Read on to know how it went. The Ubuntu installer tools and instructions work on Ubuntu terminal commands, so if you want to give this a try, get yourself an Ubuntu-based system first. But installing the Preview is quite easy. This version, being a test version, is pre-loaded with contacts and social network notifications, but don’t let that overwhelm you. On the downside, web apps can only be previewed on the OS and you can’t even sync your e-mail, contacts and social accounts on the [+more]

You know, just the other day, we were talking about how Apple would have to increase its productions costs for making an iPad Mini with the Retina Display feature. And now, according to rumors, there could actually be such a tablet in the works. Leaked pictures of the next generation iPad Mini have surfaced on a Chinese forum, giving away this surprise. The original iPad Mini drew a lot of flak for having a measly resolution of just 162 ppi, and especially when we’ve been hearing that its competitor Google Nexus 7 could receive an upgrade in the resolution, it makes sense that Apple would follow suit. In the leaked images, we can see that the tablet has a thicker body than the current iPad Mini, which could be because of the Retina Display. With this feature, the resolution of the new iPad Mini could be bumped up to 324 [+more]

Apple iPad Mini Vs Google Nexus 7 Vs Amazon Kindle Fire HD

The world loved the Google Nexus 7 when it first came out, and sure enough, the tablet did set the cash registers ringing. But looks like Google’s luck ran out pretty soon. According to industry analyst Benedict Evans, Apple’s iPad Mini and Amazon’s Kindle Fire HD managed to sell more units during 2012 than the Nexus 7. This information, however, wasn’t easy to come by, since Google doesn’t provide total sales figures of its devices. But Evans inferred that less than 4.8 million units of the Nexus 7 tablets were sold during 2012, from various statements made by ASUS’ CEO. Evans estimates that Apple managed to sell around 10 million units of the iPad Mini, even though it was launched late last year. But the real leader in the low cost 7-inch tablet category seems to be the Amazon Kindle Fire tablet. According to Evans, Amazon managed to rake up [+more]

There’s a new 7-inch tablet on the block, the Kobo Arc.
