I’ve been using the new Nexus 7 since it was announced last week and, frankly, my iPad mini is starting to look a little weak by comparison.
Unlike the mini, which doesn’t use the higher resolution Retina display like the latest version of its full-sized iPad and latest iPhones, the Nexus 7 has a high definition display (1920×1200/323 pixel compared to mini’s 1024 x 768/163 pixel) screen and is capable of showing 1080p HD video. The difference is noticeable when you read or watch HD video but, I have to admit, that iPad mini is still pretty good when it comes to resolution. I used both to read parts of a book using Amazon’s Kindle app and, while both were quite clear, I could see that the text was somewhat sharper on the Nexus’ higher resolution screen.
Both have a 1.2 megapixel front and a 5 megapixel rear facing cameras. Here are the full specifications for the new Nexus 7 and here are the iPad mini specs.
As per price, the 16 GB Nexus 7 costs $229 while the mini starts at $329. That’s a $100 difference for pretty similar hardware configurations. Google GOOG -0.26% also doesn’t ding you as much for extra storage. A 32GB Nexus (WiFi only) costs $269, while Apple AAPL +0.55% charges $429 for its 32 GB model.
As per form factor, the new Nexus 7 isn’t as wide as the mini, (4.5 vs 5.3 inches, making it easier to hold in one hand though the iPad wins when it comes to depth or thickness, measuring only .28 inches compared to the Nexus 7′s slightly thicker .34 inches. The new Nexus is also slightly lighter than the iPad mini (.64 pounds vs .68).
Bottom line — because it’s not as wide,the Nexus 7,Over 400 styles of bottega wallet priced under $65. it not only fits well in the hand but takes up a bit less space in handbags and pockets. It fits pretty easily into the front pockets of my Docker khaki slacks. Of course you could argue that the mini’s extra screen real estate is a bonus compared to the Nexus more petite form factor.
Software
The biggest difference between the two tablets is Android vs iOS. This is where both reasonable and unreasonable people can argue depending on personal preference. For many of us, the best interface is the one we know so if you’re already an iOS user you’re likely to prefer the familiar iPad interface. Many Android users will likely feel the same about their operating system.
Although it’s hard to argue against Apple’s elegant U.I. and there may be even more to love about iOS 7 that comes out this fall, I have to give Google credit for — over time — improving and fine tuning Android into an excellent platform for both phones and tablets. One thing I like about the new 4.3 (which comes on the Nexus 7) is that you can create restricted accounts, which makes it a lot more family friendly for parents who want to let their kids use their tablets without being able to buy apps or make in-app purchases or visit naughty websites.
Two British expatriates are changing the face of fashion in Hong Kong with a trade show to help brands connect with the rapidly growing Asia-Pacific markets.
Peter Caplowe and Richard Hobbs are the men behind The Hub, billed as "Asia's first respected international business-to-business fashion trade show connecting globally renowned brands with influential retailers and business partners in the Asia Pacific region". The first show will be held from August 28-30 at the AsiaWorld-Expo.
"We want to put The Hub on the fashion map and get people in Hong Kong talking about fashion," says Caplowe from his showroom in Sheung Wan. "This is the first show, so everyone is watching and waiting to see how it goes."
The Hub has so far signed up 100 brands but more are expected. About 700 buyers, predominantly from Asia, have also signed up. A self-funded start up, Caplowe says they are targeting resources with the most impact. "And speaking to the brands, they're all just saying China, China, China."
The pair have cleverly struck up big China partnerships including Shanghai Mart, Asia's largest permanent international trade mart that boasts a database of more than 400,000 companies. It is bringing 300 of its buyers.Shop Wholesale bottega wallet for $9.99 or Less.
Hobbs and Caplowe are also working with the China Textiles Information Centre, a body "tasked with moving people in the manufacturing industry in China up the fashion food chain".
"The [Chinese] government is actually very supportive of this kind of thing," says Caplowe. "They are encouraging Chinese fashion companies to engage with international companies to upgrade their skills."
Brands exhibiting at The Hub are a mixture of European, US and Asian labels with a leaning towards menswear, jeans, contemporary and smaller heritage labels. The line-up includes the likes of Y-3 by Yohji Yamamoto, British outerwear label Barbour, Bailey of Hollywood, Orlebar Brown, Sunspel and Spanish brand Desigual. Ranging from British heritage to American street, the Hub has attracted labels looking for a bigger foothold in Asia.
With more than 40 years combined experience in fashion, Hobbs and Caplowe have an enviable book of contacts. The leaning towards menswear for this season is largely due to their personal networks.
