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.
