No one understands why President Obama didn’t hammer Governor Romney on his 47% secret video comments during the first presidential debate. In hindsight, a mistake. Like President Obama, Google is throwing away its best ammunition against the iPad mini – pixel density – by publishing marketing materials that make the Nexus 7 look like a turd.
I’ve been perusing the iPad mini reviews and am thinking about getting one. A big negative that most people are focusing on is the screen resolution, which is just 1024-by-768 at 163 pixels per inch (ppi). The iPad 3 by comparison is 326 ppi.
“Ew, the screen is terrible” writes John Gruber (quoting someone else)
“The iPad Mini costs too much, especially considering the lower resolution of its 7.9-inch non-Retina Display” says CNET.
So 163 ppi isn’t all that bad, if we’re willing to live in 2010.
Anyhow, I read that the Nexus 7, Google’s competing tablet, has similarly sized 1280
