The new iPad mini is out and it features the exact same internals of the iPad 2 packed into a 7.9 inch screen.The display is inferior to the likes of nexus and Kindle devices however there are two versions one containing only Wi-Fi and the other with data connections.the devices are currently available online for the prices ranging between 27,000 and Rs. 44,000 for the Wi-Fi only model.

It is still not currently available in retail outlets it is probable to come out in late November and early December officially.Personally it makes sense in buying the iPhone 5 or the full-scale iPad rather than this.

The nexus 7 which is the major competitor to this product is comparatively better and available at cheaper price tag.Mainly because

1.The iPad mini has a 4:3 aspect ratio, while the Nexus 7 has a 16:9.
2.The iPad mini has a larger footprint than the Nexus 7.
3.The back of the Nexus 7 was designed to be held in the hand , the ipad however has a slippery and                  
   scratch prone back.
4.The Nexus 7 charges via mini USB, while the ipad mini uses Apple's own Lightning connector.

                         Try out  glasses without buying them

Ditto.com is an amazing site where you can try out  glasses on your face without going out to shop.The process is very simple as well. All you need is a webcam and say a business card or anything of that sort.First the website will ask you to do is configure your webcam and ask you to move from left to right .Make sure that you speakers are on as you can hear instructions as to when to move and where and to stop.Then all you have to do is place the business card over your forehead without blocking your eyes or blinking and just like that you have your own ditto to try out hundreds of glasses and then go out later and get the cheapest looking alternative ;)

Live Traffic in Bangalore

There are three services that gives bangaloreans an idea about the traffic conditions in bangalore. The 3 are from mapmyIndia , google maps and BTIS.

MapmyIndia Live Traffic

The traffic conditions as shown get updated very frequently but however lacks showing a day or two old traffic data . It covers a vast portion of bangalore ,sadly there is no realtime traffic video.It also does not incorporate this data while giving you directions.This is just to give users a heads up before they head out.

Google Maps Live Traffic

A more sophisticated traffic and mapping system from google provides live traffic but the user cant see when the traffic status had gotten updated though they can go back in time and see the traffic condition and how it has changed which is a neat feature to have also it incorporates the traffic data into the driving direction which I found to be too optimistic especially in today's bangalore traffic.Overall android users will feel this service enhance their in-built navigation, for the rest its just another heads up before heading out.

BTIS Live Traffic

This website provides very accurate updates on the traffic conditions in bangalore. However it has some limitations mainly the way it shows maps all the roads are in the same color making it hard to distinguish main roads from highways and also that it does not incorporate the traffic data to provide driving direction.The neat feature is that you can see live traffic and make your own estimate also you can get live traffic information and direction even on a basic handset by just sending an sms.
