Mini debut, Free SkyFall Passes

MOBILE, Ala. - A beloved Hollywood spy is back on the big-screen this Friday. You can check out 007's latest on-screen technology for free, but first Apple had an underwhelming debut for the mini.

The iPad mini officially went on sale Friday, but the crowds overall were low, compared to previous device launches this year.

Some experts say that many potential buyers already bought earlier minis like the Kindle Fire, and that the iPad mini's $329 price-tag just doesn't stand up to the competitors lower cost.

Another reason for the low crowds and short lines could be that only the Wi-Fi models are available right now. Customers will have to wait a few more weeks for the cellular model.

But, you only have to wait two days if you want to see the new 007 movie, SkyFall starring Daniel Craig as James Bond. This will be the 23rd adventure for Bond, and the longest running film franchise of all-time.

SkyFall officially goes to theaters this Friday, but you can catch the spy action for free on Wednesday.

I will be at Furniture Fair in Mobile on Wednesday from Noon until 2 with free SkyFall movie passes. That's on Azalea Rd. at Airport Blvd. right next to Party City.

The free screening is also on Wednesday at 7:30pm at the Hollywood Stadium.

Get there early, enjoy the free show, and that's your Daily Tech.
