Pads and tablets

Do you also play with non-PlayStation devices? Do you enjoy playing as a plumber saving a princess? Or some bald marines? Or maybe you want to play using the touchscreen?

Ako naman I'm going to be leaving my ipad 3 to my wife and baby para magamit nila so I'll be picking up a new ipad na din when I get back sa US first week November. Sana lang hindi nanaman magkaubusan by the time I arrive. ^^*

I'm reading online reviews between Ipad Mini vs Nexus 7 (2nd gen).. Halos pantay naman. Nagkakatalo na lang sa performance ng processor, memory, parental lock, display. Kung nasa US territory ka na user angat sa App Content at Siri ang Ipad mini pero kung di ka naman maarte at user ka dito sa pinas, Nexus 7 tops Ipad Mini.

Malaking bagay yung Quad Core CPU, 2GB RAM at 3950mAh battery specs ng Nexus 7. Yung price ng 32GB Nexus 7 eh ka-price lang ng 16GB ng Ipad Mini.

Isa lang ang gripe ko sa Nexus 7.. yung width. 4.3/4.5 inch lang vs. 5.5 inch ng Ipad Mini.
Sanay kasi ako sa width ng usual Samsung Tablets and Ipad Mini sa paningin at hawak. So yung width ng Nexus 7 eh makitid ba.

That being said, will Nexus 7's width should stop me getting it if ever?

^ Nope. I have a Nexus 7 and it feels good in the hand. I actually prefer it to the Ipad Mini because you can hold it with one hand comfortably.

If anything is going to prevent you from getting a nexus over an ipad mini, it should be the app content between itunes and the google play store, as well as preferences on the OS.

^thanks
hmmm content huh? Ang alam ko kasi mas maraming app sa Play Store. I mean as FREE Apps is concerned. Maybe what you mean is full version apps is more in Ipad's App Store? I'm not really super duper knowledgeable about it. Alam ko lang eh nung buhay pa si Steve Jobs eh he wanted to burn down Android/Google to the ground. I don't know if he means it in a OS stand point where he claims Android is an iOS rip-off or the stores where Play Store features more free apps.

Here's the reviews i read:
http://www.technobaboy.com/2013/09/25/g ... 13-review/
http://blog.laptopmag.com/apple-ipad-mi ... le-nexus-7
http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Googl ... 385/page/1

Pansin ko lang parang yung mga nagrereview eh may partly bias sa iPad Mini but most part fair comparison naman.
Ah another gripe ko sa Nexus eh yung accessories like cover case, etc... Meron ba dito locally?

Saka sino local distributor ng Nexus 7 dito? o Grey market ang bagsak ko nito?

Kung sa gaming content for me dun lamang ang App store.. Pero gaming performance mukhang mas lamang ang Nexus 7 over iPad mini.. balik ulit sa entertainment features mas hussle free paglipat ng movies, music, pics, eboks/comics from pc to android.

hindi ba mas hassle ang paglilipat ng media files sa Ipad now that you mentioned it? sabi sa reviews Nexus 7 can read many file formats while sa Ipad kelangan pa i-convert? or iOS 7 has updated that feature of no more file conversions?

some third-party apps on iOS have the feature to play certain media files that do not require conversion anymore.
sana yang album na hawak mo ay hindi pirata, mahirap ata mag-isip at magpuyat ng ilang araw at parang kang may karay-karay na buntong-hiningang hindi matuloy-tuloy

Let's see how Ipad Mini 2 will do.. ang expected specs ko for this are:
- Quad Core Processor
- Retina Display (yung current version isn't daw)
- 1980 x 1080 HD resolution
- a higher RAM
- updated with the latest iOS
- Ridiculous Pricing compared to other products as always.

Nexus 7 was called iPad Mini killer for nothing so i guess Apple have stored something to strike back...

Para sakin kung pareho pa din ang prices ng apple devices tulad ng ngayon, ang pag dedesisyonan ko na lang ay either kung ipad mini 2 or ipad 5th gen. Medyo torn pa din ako over the size...hehe

nagmahal yung baong ipad mini at medjo bumigat ng kaunti.
128GB versions? heavy users na ang papatol dito i think.
3ppi lang ang lamang ng Ipad Mini 2 sa Nexus 7 (2nd gen)
and 64-bit processors which good for multi tasking activities..

ewan ko ba iba talaga branding ng Apple. Kung sa kape sila yung Starbucks dito sa pinas. Hype na Hype ba.
Basta ako for now, kung saan sulit ang pera at specs at aftermarket service at proven quality doon ako.

nice one! gone are the days where i am looking for a light case so i can lift the ipad with one hand comfortably :2thumbs:

sayang wala pang fingerprint sensor.

slight OT:

Apple's new Maverick OS is free! Microsoft is now the only company that sells its operating system.

Can't wait for Nov 5 pagbalik ko sa US!

I'll stick to the iPad Air 64gb...$699 is good enough plus bili na lang ako ng official iPad Air smart case siguro as my permanent case. Magastos na din kasi aabot ng mga $800 with taxes pero matagal tagal na panahon naman na uli bago mag upgrade for sure. =)
