2/2/2013 3:08:00 PM

To commemorate the release of mini iPad, we gathered 17 other famous minis, researched how each mini can connect to Apple.

The technology world suddenly becomes mad about mini. Apple released a smaller version of iPad tablet named mini iPad. And Samsung - the mischievous rival - has Galaxy S III mini Android smartphone for the lawyer of Apple to research.

In order to glorify these new minis, we gathered a group of other legend mini products and tested them and relate them to apple.

iPod mini

The first Apple mini is mini iPod version 2004, and it was a resounding successful – to the extent that is was sold out. Mini iPod is physically smaller than iPod and has the capacity reduction (4GB at first). But maybe the reasons for its success are not from the size but from the number of colors similar to those of metal: silver, green, blue, pink and yellow.

After the commercial failure of Power Mac G4 Cube, Apple renounced this mini Mac line in half a decade before whittling Cube about 1/5 and creating mini Mac 5cm height. This line of Mac aims to attract the PC owners who wear iPod.

Sadly, mini Mac was never a resounding success. Like Cube, it seems too small to have an excessively high price, especially because you still have to buy the screen, the keyboard and the mouse. The original version of Mini Mac has a charger which has a size of 1/3 of a computer. And strangely, to add the memory, you need to prize up the face with a putty knife.

Mini

Of course, the most famous mini is the British motoring icon in the 1960s, the Mini Morris, which was seen in movies such as The Italian Job. Designed by Sir Alex Issigonis, this frugal Mini redefined the city’s family cars, and was put into production after the gasoline rationing due to the Suez Canal Crisis.

It’s very too small as compared with other vehicles at that time, to the extent that it’s called not only mini but also Mini Minor. Considered as a symbol of England such as Big Ben clock tower, double decker bus, bowler hat, red booth and rain, finally, mini is refurbish by BMW of German.

Related to Apple: dissimilar to Apple products, Mini cars are sparing model. However, like iPhone, its designer is conferred Knight title afterwards. The star of “Think Different” and the idol of Steve Jobs, John Lennon (Apple Corps of Lennon sued Apple Computer many times at the court), the person who owns the famous Mini (which is essentially another strange coincidence because Mini is inspired by VW Beetle).
