With original Apple founder in control, Apple would say no to small iPad. But with new boss man in charge the company is looking at a global economy and making the tough choices. Smaller iPad is one of these choices and the choice has been made.

When OEM manufacturers in China look at tablet PCs they are thinking only of the profits that can be made from selling the device. This is logical but very simple thinking.

Apple is making a big margin on the hardware from Foxconn but that is only the start of the profit. After you have an iPhone or iPad you can begin to buy more apps from the app store and the profit Apple makes from one customer keeps on growing and growing.

We have spoken with our contacts here in China and can confirm that Apple has set the launch date as 12th December, but the production has been a little slower and is not ready until Xmas.

Apple leader Tim Cook is looking at Google Nexus 7 and similar products which are pushing for a price of £150. Apple is counting on superior brand name and ability to sell apps after initial purchase to offer a 7″ iPad Mini for just £179.

Absolutely beautiful in every respect, but you must wait until 12th December before you get hands on

KitGuru says: Availability will be everywhere and we expect this to be a big selling device to family with one iPad already.

The release of a new Apple product means that customers rush to sell their perfectly fine, but ‘out of date' product. Ebay has already seen a raft of tablet computers for sales in the last couple of weeks, but now that the mainstream public are fully aware that a new ‘super iPad' is due for release they are rushing to flog their iPad or iPad 2.

Ebay have said that the average selling price of the iPad 2 is now £283. Apple are going to cut the price of the iPad 2 to £329, selling alongside the latest iteration with high resolution screen (more resolution than a 1080p television) and added processing power.

The cheap deals on ebay are said to keep climbing as customers look to recoup some money for a new purchase. We counted over 5,000 deals on ebay UK this morning.

Looking to maximise on sales, Carphone Warehouse are offering a trade in scheme for older iPads. The original iPad will be bought for prices ranging between £135 and £205. iPad 2 trade in prices will range between £245 and £355. Trade in schemes are generally pain free, but they don't often generate as much money as can be achieved through a direct sale, such as via Ebay.

Kitguru says: For those people who haven't yet bought a tablet, the time to strike is now

Amazon attack Apple with new £109/$140 Kindle https://www.kitguru.net/lifestyle/mobile/laptops/zardon/amazon-attack-apple-with-new-109140-kindle/ https://www.kitguru.net/lifestyle/mobile/laptops/zardon/amazon-attack-apple-with-new-109140-kindle/#comments Thu, 29 Jul 2010 08:59:29 +0000 http://www.kitguru.net/?p=9909 KitGuru has been reporting lately on the success of the Amazon Kindle price drop which has led to massive sales – which have been so high that Amazon recently published on their site that there was a temporary sell out of Kindle units.

KitGuru has been reporting lately on the success of the Amazon Kindle price drop which has led to massive sales – which have been so high that Amazon recently published on their site that there was a temporary sell out of Kindle units.

Amazon announced two lighter, more advanced units of the Kindle today and have also just launched a new UK ebook store that it said will really help to boost sales.

Amazon in a wise move have also made the device available directly from its UK site which marks a milestone for the company.

Amazon have also announced that this new version of the Kindle is going to be available without 3G, offering Wi-Fi Exclusivity. It makes sense to KitGuru as this will help keep down costs and people can download their books before leaving the house anyway.

The new Kindle has a 50% enhanced contrast ratio while being 21% smaller and 15% lighter – always a good combination to improve sales with the female audience who hate lugging around big electronic devices.

The Wi-Fi model is being sold at a very competitive £109 which works out at $170 in the USA, but people in the USA are getting it for $139. Many sighs can be heard from our UK readers already, but in reality the pricing is still very good.

The success of the iPad is based on the whopping selection of titles available on the iTunes music, video and app store and Amazon are keen to mirror this system with already over 400,000 books for sale on Amazon.co.uk. Stieg Larsson, the author of ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' has been the first author to sell 1 million ebooks through Amazon, so this is a good indication of the potential audience – its huge already.

Sales of the Kindle have increased since the iPad was released which has taken many analysts by surprise and we can only imagine that the new models will further boost the sales figures. It is worth remembering that the iPad costs a lot more than £109!

KitGuru says: We love the Amazon Kindle and are really happy its continuing to sell well, it is a great tool and will transform how many people read books. Give one a shot!
