    Apple is definitely going to have to unveil an iPad Mini at a dramatically reduced price with some insane features very soon. These prices are seriously posing some threats to the iPad in the past few months.

    Very cool. Very tempting. Nah...I'm still saving up. You gotta wait a few months after it's release to hear about the pros and cons, then you should decide if you should buy it.

    But its only available in the US and UK! They are just throwing money down the drain.

    New iPad is available in at least 56 countries.
    Ackbar and _JKK_ like this.

    This is crazy! Regular kindle fire updated faster and price drop to only $159! That's the price of a fake Chinese android tablet.

    $199 tablet seems like nothing special. Even though it's 16GB, the N7 beats it.

    $299 tablet is pretty kick ass though. Some real iPad competition right there.

    This is definitely some big competition for the iPad. Wasn't too impressed with the original kindle fire but the HD one looks pretty awesome as does the pricing for the other two!

    Got to agree that if Apple doesn't release an iPad mini then they are seriously going to lose some market share.
