There has been some initial discussion here at TMO whether the iPad mini would, at some point, be a better seller than the standard size iPads. Others have also speculated about this. At first, I thought it might do so over the next year.

Very thin, very light, easy to hold in one hand, 10 hour battery life, awesome fit and finish; Beautiful, magical to handle.

No Retina display; iSight camera suspect; Corners cut on power adapter; Some iPhone apps at 2x may not look great.

The iPad mini has arrived - and so has our review. Just last week, Apple introduced the world to the newest member of its wildly successful tablet line, an adorable, diminutive slate with a 7.9-inch display.

Fantastic design and build quality; Software selection second to none; Great battery life

Screen is lower resolution than the competition; Can sometimes be a little awkward to hold; Expensive

If there's one tablet that's tailor made for built-in 4G, it's the iPad mini. This tablet is lighter and thinner than most 7-inch budget slates, yet packs a larger 7.9-inch screen for enjoying all of your apps, not to mention a full web experience, on the go.

"Every inch an iPad". That's Apple's marketing punchline for its smallest, lightest and newest iPad, the iPad mini . Claiming to offer all the features of the traditional, larger iPad, the iPad mini packs a 7.9in display into a superbly crafted body.

Apple's baby iPad rivals the best 7-inch tablets with its slightly larger-than-the-pack screen and barely-there profile, but it's a good value only for those already invested in Apple's ecosystem.

Lighter than competing 7-inch tablets; but with a larger screen; 5-megapixel rear cam; Strong battery life; Full access to Apple's content ecosystem; Screen res works well with existing apps

Pricey for screen size; Display resolution lower than latest-gen 7-inch tablets; Lightning port incompatible with older accessories; Lacks HDMI port; memory-card slot

The iPad mini, launched in October, has started to make its way to users and it seems that a smaller version of the tablet is receiving similar praise as its bigger iterations. Many users who have used the tablet have posted their opinion and reviews of the iPad mini and unsurprisingly, most of the...

great service and delivery just what i was looking for

Great Item Perfect Price

Jobs dismissed 7-inch tabs as tweeners. We differ If Steve Jobs was still around we wonder if the iPhone would have ever gone beyond the 3.5-inch screen and the iPad downsized from its original beefy 9.7-inch form factor.
