Ouch, Apple Just Priced themselves out of the Mini Tablet Market.

     Yes its official Apples iPad Mini is going to cost $329. The magic number for me would have been a simple $300 if you really want to take away the market from players like Google's Nexus 7 and the Kindle Fire HD.
     
     Apple has had a lot of success with the iPad and has been dominant in the tablet market but this is not going to do them any good. Millions of Units would be sold no mistake about that but it wont be long and consumers would soon realize that Android is a better alternative when you consider price. The only way apple can stop this mistake is if they introduce some truly unique feature that would keep the iPad mini a way better device than others. They have only succeded in bringing their tablets into a position where it is fair game to compare an apple tablet to other android options. If Apple's competitors were making poor quality products this would be a wise option but android has improved vastly on quality and are now legit alternatives.

   Apple you might have brought more harm to yourselves than good. The type of harm you would only realize years later. Mark my words years later. If you have run out of ideas for creating a wow factor entering another competitors space doesn't necessarily solve the problem.
