The iPad Mini costs too much
Especially considering the lower resolution of its 7.9-inch non-Retina Display. The A5 processor isn't as robust as the one in the fourth-gen iPad and iPhone 5. Typing on the smaller screen is not quite as comfy

If you've always wanted this form factor along with iOS and its bountiful selection of lovely apps, now is the time to jump in. The 16GB Wi-Fi version isn't as absurdly priced as its brothers in the range and if you use the cloud correctly you won't need...

At the moment, bearing in mind that we haven't been able to test aspects of its performance such as screen quality and battery life, Apple's iPad mini is looking like a winner. Merging aspects of the traditional iPad and the iPhone 5 in a smaller, lighte...
Abstract: As Apple’s Executives made a point of stressing, the iPad mini first and foremost an iPad. Sure, when you pick it up, it’s impressively small and light. But most if not all of the features that you’ve come to know on the iPad—the headphone jack, the o...
