iPad Mini: it's real

[Ichinisan]

I think if they had released this with a high res screen and slightly better internals, I probably would have bought one. I'm really considering a Nexus 7 to tinker around with, but the lack of Android tablet support/apps really makes me want to stay with iOS. I just don't need to spend $500 for something to play around with, especially since my wife already has an iPad 3.

I really do prefer 3:4 over 9:16 for web browsing on a tablet...but my Touchpad is practically unusable due to sluggish responsiveness. I can't wait to get the iPad mini (will be my first iPad).

Ordered mine, Black and Slate - 16 GB. Can't wait.

So, I picked up a 16GB Black for my mom earlier. I found it kind of interesting that Best Buy didn't seem to have any white ones at all. I'm also a bit surprised that Apple only has a Smart Cover available for it right now. I'd prefer to get a Smart Case for my mom to use.

My local Best Buy had the white one on display for customers to use on launch day. The next day, they were using a black one. Strange.

Retailers around here never got the Smart Cover and I had to mail-order mine from Apple.
