Apple executive Eddy Cue said in an email released during the Apple v. Samsung trial that he: “Found email, books, Facebook and video very compelling” on a 7-inch Samsung Galaxy tablet.

Apple has been expected to introduce the iPad mini at an aggressive price. Now it seems the device will cost from €249 in Europe. If the company stays in line with the cost of the existing iPad, this suggests you’ll be able to pick up an iPad mini at prices from $249 in the US. This will create a nightmare for competitors in the tablet space at the cost of a few lost iPod touch sales.
