Pricing has yet to be announced but judging by the hardware, the Lenovo A1000 is the cheapest of the 3 and will come with a 7-inch display, dual-core Mediatek...
It’s that time of year again so pull up a chair, grab a pint of your favourite beverage and sit back to enjoy the iPad mini rumour and leak roller coaster! As is normally the case, the first iPad mini 2 leaks is a gallery of photos depicting the rear of the new Apple tablet.

Way back in 2012 a little company from China surprised the world by announcing that they would launch an iPad mini clone which would run Android and cost just $99! What was so shocking was the fact the company announced this on the day of the real iPad mini launch! Months past and we have finally crept in to 2013 with very little word on the iPad mini clone, so was it all a hoax? Was it just vapourware? These spy photos would suggest no. The GooPad mini shown here may finally go on sale as the Minipad, whether or not it has maintained...
I’ll be perfectly honest with you, I’ve not really been taking much notice of Google’s project glass! That’s all changed after watching this demo video though, and a pair will certainly be on my Christmas list for 2014!

I have to say that after seeing them used to help a skier follow a route and the ability to take photos or record video with a simple voice command,...
