iPad mini quick thoughts...
Size iis the best I've found in a tablet. Not too big/heavy like regular iPad (the 3 got too heavy IMO). Much more usable screen than similar tablets. Much better build quality than the competition. Typing feels far more natural than on any other device I've used. Will be great for reading as it's crazy light. Adds a lot of portability to the iPad lineup... but... non-Retina screen sucks. Not sure how they'd think they could get away with this. The difference between my phone and iPad3 is night and day with this thing and it sucks. It's the only reason I wouldn't make this my premier tablet.
When they do release a retina mini, they'll have perfected the tablet... I think.
