Just a short break from all this -- hurricane talk her second because Walt Mossberg -- iPad mini review is in which I'm sure we're gonna wanna hear.

Up from Walt he said in the paper this morning that apple pulled off an impressive feat among other things.

Given away not saying all the all clear what I don't need to -- what we don't need to -- tell us anything about the review because -- here to tell you pay wall to doing.

Hey guys what is that this is the -- many.

Call cash and that's Mark Zuckerberg happens via picture ahead.

Act and you could see that I'm holding it with just a few fingers barrier and then -- Fairy fan.

And you can kind of squeezing your jacket pocket guide they had it -- minute ago.

And so apple.

Has taken.

All the functionality all the -- all the user interface there's nothing to learn here.

And moved it into something that's smaller and less expensive and that's basically the bottom line.

It's.

It's that day it's thinner.

And lighter.

-- the Google nexus seven or the Kindle fire HD seven which.

-- have a seven inch screens but they've managed put a seven point nine inch screen in this.

Which gives it about 35%.

More screening area.

Then those.

Than those competing tablet.

-- -- want it does not have the screen of the bigger the resolution of the larger -- had and it did win the price came now.

I think what I was shocked at how -- to how much it costs.

Well.

It's 329.

Which you know member this is apple right.

They do not.

They do not tend to go for low price.

We will find out if that prices too high but I will say that there.

The materials here.

Aren't what you expect aluminum and glass not plastic.

And that partly explains the the price right day.

And I'm sorry idea have a cold here Canada if you can call -- this go -- -- -- right.

The -- insist that they don't believe this is a price play they believe this is.

Something that you know where they have to compete on the lowest price the market.

They think they've got the iPad everybody knows the iPad is they've sold a hundred million in two and a half.

I years and they're delivering the -- experience here.

In something that's smaller that you can hold with one hand yeah.

I see that in the picture but the -- holding in the one hand I thought a you're reviewed you you came on this morning with us kind of -- -- out your jacket pocket.

But you can't really -- intent or it isn't all adults -- this -- a little better I don't I don't wanna miss I don't want to mislead anybody you can.

Put it into a jacket pocket but I'm not you know here it is -- -- do it all right but not.

It's not as easy to do I mean I wouldn't say.

It's gonna easily and -- batted in and out of a jacket pocket it's.

It's really.

Has a seven point nine inch screens that's -- -- -- Cool engineering thing but it's not.

It it's significantly wider.

-- the -- and then nexus seven.

Had the Google nexus seven.

Although it is thinner and lighter is significantly wider battery life I was impressed.

They claimed ten hours I got about.

Ten and a half hours.

And that was playing video is back to back until it died with Wi-Fi non.

With email being collected in the background so I can say that that.

Battery life -- -- is is gonna please people who wind up buying it.

But you know that the did this story is.

-- we make the -- The iPad has been the winner.

We're just gonna give you a smaller version of what you majority like that's basically Apple's line on this.

And it it is every single iPad -- I tried on here.

You know worked just as you would expect on the iPad obviously on a smaller screen.

So that's what they've got that's what they've delivered and will see.

We'll see how how people react.

Walt it will fit perfectly and the columns.

Pocket and his mom -- very -- and me and you know -- So -- I'm -- -- war -- spot for have all but one person in America hasn't heard that judge -- that day you know I don't it never gets all the.
