visited apple store and target, iPad mini sold out at both store.
Apple store crowded as usual. iPad mini's build quality and design is the best in 7 inch tablets. Macbook pro retina is amazingly thin and light. It's a beautiful device to hold and use. The screen is amazingly clear. I can't wait to see the new iMac. The Time Capsule is $299, which is not that expensive because it is a Wireless Router + 2TB Hardrive that has wireless access for all Apple products. I compared prices on newegg: getting a wireless router with USB3 cost around $110, getting a 2TB hard drive is about $120. But the Time capsule implements two device into one.
Nook HD+ is out, played with it for a while. I am impressed that it's quality is better than Kindle. However software is a little laggy, it needs improvement patches. Not a suprise because B&N is a much smaller player with limited resource and it has to compete with the big players like Google and Amazon. I hope it can survive...if B&N closes, I have less place to hang out...
