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.

Don't confuse the "mini" in "iPad mini" with "lite"--with the exception of a Retina display, this slimmed down iPad gives you the full iPad experience, including access to over 275,000 iPad-optimized apps, in a device that's about half the overall size and weight of the standard iPad.

Most of the full-size-iPad experience in a smaller; lighter package; All existing iPad apps run natively; Wireless capabilities and cameras on par with fourth-generation iPad; Very good performance; Incredibly solid construction and beautiful design

No Retina display; Some apps and websites feel a little cramped on the smaller screen; Landscape keyboard is too small for easy touch-typing

I just bought this 3 days ago. I love the Ipad in general. the Ipad mini falls short on durabily unlike its larger counter part if you dont set it down gently or put it on pillows the screen will crack very easily. I put my brand new ipad mini down on my kitchen table and the screen cracked on it.

its an apple product ; everything but durability

screen cracks easily

Now I can play games or look up movie trivia on IMDB on our old iPad 2 while my wife reads on the mini. Two iPads are definitely better than one!

Easy to Hold; Great size

I have wanted and IPad for so long and now that I have purchased this product I am happy. Enjoying the Apple iPad mini and would highly recommend to a

I've heard many complaints about the iPad mini. I've heard people moan about the dated processor and the low resolution, 4:3 screen. I've even heard a few complain about the lack of GPS in the Wi-Fi version.

Smaller; lighter & more portable; Beautifully designed and built; Huge selection of apps; Seamless integration with Apple devices

Ageing processor; Relatively low resolution screen

Is it a small iPad or a big iPhone or is the iPad mini a device that forges a whole new market for Apple? They're legitimate questions, but the truth is, it's all of the above. We've been thinking about all this for a while now, it started with the first rumour of a smaller iPad and we're only now,...

More portable; still a big screen; light; great for gaming; less chunky

Screen resolution; 4G won't work on Vodafone or O2; old processor

Small and light enough to take everywhere but big and clever enough to be considered a full-blooded tablet, the iPad Mini provides a near-perfect balance – for a price

Like the iPad; but easier to handle; Beautifully built; Battery life is impressive

No Retina Display means a lack of detail; Expensive compared to the Nexus 7

Fantastic gadget, easy told hold, screen size just right. Long battery life and quick to charge, better than any rivals. iPad never slows down, the android systems do after a while. 3G connection good, as this gets used as a sat nav sometimes. Very robust build.

Battery life; ease of use

None

Bought this for my son for his 4th birthday! iPad looks brand new! Came with charger and a packet. Of Haribo sweets inside packageing! Will definitely order from here again! A***
