Samsung has launched its first Android-based camera at IFA 2012.Called the Galaxy Camera,the device comes with Google Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and is powered by a 1.4 GHz quad-core processor.Pricing and launch details however, have not been shared yet.

The Galaxy Camera has a 16 MP BSI CMOS 1/2.3"  sensor, and a wide angle (23mm) lens with 21x optical zoom.It sports a 4.77inch 308 ppi HD Super Clear LCD.On the face, the Galaxy Camera feels like a camera because of its build and physical shutter button but flip it over and the device feels like an Android smartphone.This isn't the first Android camera we've heard of.Nikon recently launched the 16 MP Coolpix S800c,which runs on Android, and is meant to be the ideal device for those who often share on social networks.Samsung was also rumored earlier this year to be working on an Android-based camera, though no-one expected such specifications.

It is being called a Galaxy SIII-based camera, because of the similarity in specifications, and the Galaxy Camera does also incorporate some of the photo features found on the SIII, such as Best Photo Mode, Buddy Photo Share etc.The camera also includes 35 photo editing options through the 'Photo Wizard' that is similar to the 'Movie Wizard' that allows users to create and edit videos easily from the touch screen.

Apple iPad Mini to hit on November 2-Price $249

The latest report surrounding the Apple iPad Mini claims that the yet to launch unofficial tablet from Apple will hit store shelves 10 days after its launch,starting at a leaked price of $249.Industry speculation holds that Apple would try to undercut the market with a low asking price,but also start with a not so generous 8 GB WiFi only version.

Both Google and Microsoft also have events scheduled around the same time as Apple's scheduled press conference, with the search giant expected to showcase next Nexus products (probably including a budget tablet, or a 10-inch device), and the Redmond giant is expected to make a Windows Phone 8 related announcements.The Surface for Windows RT will also begin shipping on October 26.

The competition for the much-rumored iPad Mini is expected to be intense ,with other relatively low-cost tablets from major manufacturers already in the market (such as Google Nexus 7 and Amazon Kindle Fire HD),the Microsoft Surface for Windows RT tablet, and, as we mentioned earlier,the possibility of a new Nexus tablet form Google.

With the first generation of Windows tablets entering the market,customers will for the first time since the iPad launched be given a wide choice of platforms to choose from.All this of course,will precede the holiday season, further heightening anticipation and spending.

For now, not as much is known about the new iPad Mini,expect that it is expected to bear a 7.8 inch display.Leaks also reveal pricing of the 16 GB, 32 GB ,and 64 GB models, which are indicated to be $349, $549 and $649, for the WiFi only models.As with previous Apple products, the U.S. pricing is expected to be the same, raging from $249 to $649.The ipad Mini will also ship in black and white colors.
