Apple's iPad mini packs full-sized punch but screen inferior: reviews Posted: 30 Oct 2012 07:55 PM PDT SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Apple Inc's entry in the accelerating mobile tablet race squeezes about 35 percent more viewing space onto a lighter package than rival devices from Google or Amazon.com Inc, but it sports inferior resolution and a lofty price tag, two influential reviewers wrote on Tuesday. The iPad mini, which starts at $329 versus the $199 for Google's Nexus 7 and Amazon's Kindle Fire HD, is easy to hold with one hand, eliminating a drawback of the 10-inch iPad, Wall Street Journal columnist Walt Mossberg wrote in one of the first major reviews of a gadget introduced last week. ... |

Electronic Arts Q3 forecast disappoints as "Medal" seen lagging Posted: 30 Oct 2012 06:16 PM PDT SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Video game publisher Electronic Arts Inc forecast third-quarter earnings below Wall Street targets on Tuesday after its just-released "Medal of Honor: Warfighter" title failed to wow gamers ahead of a crowded holiday season.

A clutch of new sports games, such as the popular "FIFA 13," did not seem able to take up the slack, they say. ... |
