The past week was possibly the most eventful in the history of customer technology markets, or to be precise, the 7-inch (17.8-cm) tablet market. Never before have three of the biggest players in the industry scheduled what could be truly historic product launches so close together.
过去一周可能是电子消费市场史上，或者更准确地说，是7英寸（约17.8厘米）平板电脑市场史上的“多事之秋”。有史以来，该行业的三大巨头首次“撞车”般地相继发布了具有历史意义的产品。
Not only did Apple officially join the blossoming market by releasing the iPad Mini on Oct 23, but Microsoft launched its Surface tablet on Oct 26, and Google, despite having to cancel events due to
hurricane Sandy, annouced its latest
Nexus 10 tablet in New York on Oct 29, only two months after the
release of its Nexus 7.
10月23号，苹果公司正式推出iPad Mini，再次进军蒸蒸日上的平板电脑市场。随后，10月26号，微软公司也发布了自己的Surface平板电脑。此外，尽管谷歌公司受飓风桑迪影响不得不取消了一系列活动，但该公司还是于10月29号在纽约推出了最新的
Nexus 10平板电脑，而两个月前谷歌刚刚发布了Nexus7平板电脑。
