iPad Mini – What if you could make a title for a news item, we will spare you a few minutes reading virtual, but is, we must deal with such rumors: after all, all the rumors and are born free and equal rights. The iPad Mini, it is a ghost who comes nearly every two or three months. Sometimes it’s Digitimes who recovered the information from a vendor screen, other times they are sources inside Apple who talk too much. But eventually, we still have nothing and Apple remains on the market it controls, that of the shelf 10 inches high end.
It was in an episode of Talk Show John Gruber of Daring Fireball has dropped the word: no, a 7.85-inch iPad is not expected at Apple, but such a model exists in the labs of the parent, undergoing tests every day. Is it relevant? Is it useful? A Does the market place? How to sell, $ 299? All these issues have still not been answered and that is why Apple has never talked about a smaller version of its touchscreen icon.
iPhone 5 – An interesting concept to the network reached today addresses two of the rumors that have been constant over the next generation of iPhone. On one side is heard that the iPhone 5 could make more screen, one that could lose the home button. How would these two changes in the smartphone on the block? The designer Kris Groen has raised a proposal that we see in the video below.
As you can see the artist imagines an iPhone more square than the current model to accommodate a 4-inch screen. It has long been mentioned as a possibility, which has its detractors based on that image that showed the difficulty in reaching with one hand to all parts of a screen that size. ¿3’5, 3’7 or 4 inches? What surprised us the Cupertino?
More original is the solution proposed for Groen start button. We had mentioned that Apple would switch to a capacitive button is not it? What if the company chose to remove it completely? The designer imagines two touch buttons on the sides, one on each side, to replace the start button and increase the possibilities of interaction with the iPhone 5.

Android – Like a chess game it was, Apple and Google moved their pieces on the board so that each strategy gives them more opportunities to take the market. The point is that each player uses different attacks as parts of different philosophies.

From these different points of view battle results in logical stages. Android has a larger user base and then Apple must comply with a commitment to quality as a means to attract the buyer.
