Apple Begins Preparing to Ship iPad mini With 4G LTE

Though Apple had initially stated that the 4G LTE model of the 7.9-inch iPad mini iOS tablet would be available a week after the WiFi model went on sale, those who preordered the tablet found that the tablet would be ‘delivered by 11/21,’ a date that is later than what was previously promised by Apple; some preorder customers noted an initial delivery by date of 11/23, however. Now, it looks like Apple is beginning to prepare those tablets according to notification emails being sent to customers who pre-ordered the 4G LTE version.  //gottabemobile.com

Reviews: BlackBerry PlayBook 4G LTE hands-on

Engadget presents its hans-on review of BlackBerry PlayBook 4G LTE. Lets go first to the  conclusion:

We're of the same mindset as we were when we looked at PlayBook 2.0: the device is fine, but it's not enough to make an undecided shopper gravitate towards the BlackBerry PlayBook 4G LTE based solely on its technical merits. We'd need more and better apps, a higher resolution screen or some truly exclusive features to make the leap. The tablet therefore remains mostly for the BlackBerry faithful. However, that $250 price difference between 4G and WiFi versions is just small enough that, between the two, we'd spring for the faster and more functional 4G edition.

Mobile Broadband Subscriptions on Tablets to Grow 7x in Next Five Years

Less then 13% of the global tablet installed base will have active mobile broadband service in 2012, yet in the US, both AT&T and Verizon Wireless saw tablets play a key role in net subscriber additions in 2q2012 this year. Service revenues from tablets will be an important incremental growth source for mobile operators, with global tablet service revenues reaching US$15 billion in 2017. /Strategy Analytics, Aug. 2012

CSS Insight's analysts predicts that most users will eventually choose not to buy LTE iPads and other 3G/4G tablets in next four years. The reason is clear - the majority of users that purchase tablets prefer to use wi-fi and rarely use 3G/4G data services due to the current price of tablets and mobile data subscriptions. \cultofmac.com
