Mobile Search Behavior [Infographic]

When it comes to searching online the first thing anyone does is move to the nearest internet connected device and type in a search query. The nearest device is often a mobile device. The very nature of a mobile device means we always have one at hand. Think about your mobile phone. How often is it either in your hand, in your pocket or on the table in front of you? Pretty much all the time. It's always nearby. That's what I was thinking when I stumbled on this last week when I was writing about Infographic start-up Visual.ly.

Unboxing: iPad mini (16GB White WiFi)

Well, here it is, guys! The unboxing of my first iPad. I've always been a fan of small tablets, as you know from my previous purchase of a Nexus 7. Now that Apple makes one, this device seemed like the perfect fit for me. I'm excited to explore the tablet world with an OS I know and love. Expect tons of videos in the coming week!



As mentioned in the video, my first impressions are that the iPad mini is extremely light, thin and well built. The non-Retina display is not a problem at all, for me. I was expecting much worse from what I'd heard in the media. I haven't experienced lag at all yet and the 7.9" screen is wider than most tablets of a similar size, making it seem much larger when it use. In short, I'm in love. But expect a first impressions video ASAP.

Questions about the iPad mini? Leave them in the comments below. Thanks for rating/subscribing/watching! You guys ROCK!

Why I Sold My Nexus 7

Many of you have heard by now that I sold my Google Nexus 7. This video is an explanation as to why. I'd still be happy to answer any questions you have so leave them in the comments below before Sept. 25th to be included in the future Q&A video!



The Nexus 7's form factor was fantastic. Android Jelly Bean was surprisingly responsive and incredibly customizable. For an Android user, the Nexus 7 at $199 is an amazing tablet. For an Apple user, it will be hard to transition into the world of Droid. Especially if you already have an iPhone. Would I recommend the Nexus 7? Yes. Did I need one? No.

A special thanks to all 1800+ of you for your continued support through 100 videos! I look forward to the future! You guys ROCK!

New Kindle Fire, iPad Mini & Sept 12th Event

It's no secret that I've been a fan of 7" tablets for quite some time. With the introduction of the Kindle Fire 2 & Kindle Fire HD yesterday, I think it is time for Apple to accept the competition and release an iPad Mini. Will this happen on Sept. 12th?



What are your thoughts on this subject? I think that with the Nexus 7, especially, Apple has some serious competition at nearly $300 cheaper. An inexpensive, shrunken iPad would do extremely well. Countless customers at Best Buy come to me saying they want an iPad but they don't want to pay $499 for a larger screen. An ultraportable tablet is just what Apple needs!
