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

Abstract: In our Gear Chat , I said to Dan that the iPad Mini was the ‘best small format tablet I have ever touched'. So what does that mean in context? Well, aside from the Mini, I have had a couple of Samsung 7″ tablets, one each from ASUS and Acer, HTC Flyer, or...
Abstract: One of the reasons why people invest in tablets is to curl up with their device at the end of the day and enjoy some reading. Of course, lugging around a 10-inch tablet isn't exactly very comfortable, nor is it very natural to look at. Seven-inch tablets,...
Super thin and quite light, display size and aspect ratio bridge the best of both 7" and 10" tablets
Lack of Retina display will disappoint those already accustomed to that display technology
From the moment I put my hands on the iPad mini, I confess I loved it. It's that perfect tweener size: it doesn't feel as cramped and compromised when watching video or viewing web pages as 7" tablets and the 4:3 aspect ratio works so well for portrai...
Very small and light, Compatible with all iPad apps, Sturdy and well-built, Small enough to fit in a pocket, but big enough to comfortably read, Cheaper than previous versions of the iPad, Two speakers for better, louder sound
Doesn't have a Retina display, Smart Cover for the mini costs as much as the original Smart Cover
Abstract: Finally venturing off into a new size category, Apple now has a direct competitor to the renowned Google Nexus 7, which was recently updated slightly with more memory. Although it’s quite obvious that one is indeed smaller than the other, there’s no q...
Abstract: I wasn't sure how I would get along with an iPad mini.I wavered back and forth on it from the day it was announced. First, it was the price. US$329 is easier to swallow than $499, but I had a perfectly good iPad 2. Then, after deciding I'd give it a shot,...
Abstract: Though Steve Jobs is famously known to have disliked the idea of 7-inch tablets, you can't deny that there is a market for them. A 7-incher, such as the Google Nexus 7 (made by ASUS), is a whole lot more portable than larger 10-inch tablets and provides t...
Apple's latest and cheapest iPad offering is out: the iPad mini (2012) has been introduced to address two issues that users care about: a smaller form-factor and a new price segment now just above $300. After initially dismissing smaller tablets under the...
Incredible build quality, Remarkably thin and light, Access to a plethora of quality apps, Outstanding battery life, Great display, despite low-resolution, Snappy performance, Plenty of cellular data options
Low resolution screen can be bothersome from close viewing distances, Pricey, iOS is boring, Purchasing, You can buy an iPad Mini starting at $329 for the 16GB model in your choice of black or white. If you want cellular data with LTE, you now have three
The iPad Mini is a miniature iPad, and that's a very powerful prospect. It has just about everything we want in a small iPad, except for, of course, a Retina display. As long as you're holding the iPad Mini 18″ or more away from your eyes, the lower scr...
