iPad Mini

 


Last Friday Apple released their new iPad Mini and updated the full-sized iPad to the next generation.

Apple reported that it sold 3 million iPads over the weekend, there is much demand and not enough supply, its said that they could easily supply the demand, thanks to the complexity of certain components that go into the eight-inch tablet.

At the moment only WiFi versions of the iPad Mini and the fourth generation of the iPad are on sale but they should be shipping out the 4G-LITE versions in the next few weeks.

The new iPad mini is one-third smaller, weighs less then a pound, is 8 inches instead of 10 and is 23% lighter than the original.

 The new iPad mini is starting at $329, which is more than its competitors The Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD, which start at $199.



As for durability, the iPad Mini out preformed the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD, in a series of drops and dunks.

Plant Pots Ahoy

You heard me; To anyone who is busy on their own lives and want to take care a plant, this may be for you. Interesting pot designed by Junyi Heo; It regulates how much water the plant plotted needed, the soil content, humidity and other varieties. It also has a USB cord that connects to your computer and search up any plant you're taking care of—whenever it's a rose, small bush, etc— and it will give you the information to how much you need to care for it. LCD screens can show how your plant is doing and have mechanisms if the plant is too hot, cold or needs or doesn't need any water; also comes with a male and female interfaces for interaction. The downside it can take electricity a lot of it's time, but the design is cute over all.
