All I have to say is... YES! Finally a smaller and more affordable iPad. I have always wanted an iPad and I never got one because unfortunately they were too big and too expensive, but not anymore.

I pre-ordered an iPad mini in black/slate with 16gb and wifi only. I just can't wait to get my iPad mini!

So did you pre-order an iPad mini?

i did, but not because of Apple fanboyism or any of the System-War bull$hit type stuff either.

only thing Apple i own is an Iphone 4 (still have no upgraded to 4S or 5) and i really love it.

at my house i got access to Ipad 1 and 2 (my brothers), Nexus 7 (my dad), and Kindle Fire (my mom)

what i was looking for was the Apple OS's, Apple's store (which i like their selection the best, in quantity with quality), while also using the smaller form factor like the Nexus and Kindle. well.. it takes the form of the Ipad Mini.

does what i'm looking for in a tablet. the fact that it's got a slightly older A5 chip and no retina doesn't dissuade me either. it's not for gaming or very resource heavy applications, and i'm a technophile who requires the absolute best in visuals.

In regards to it's price, yeah i wished it was lower but i was under no dillusions, i bought (and really love) the PS Vita, and i only regretted buying the over-priced PSP Go becuase support dried up very fast for it. both those handhelds i really liked, and both times Sony insists on pricing at premium. Apple plays the same game.

it doesn't do me any good to spend less, for better quality hardware, if there is less stuff that i want/need to do on it (reliably as well).

I see no point since my phone can do everything it does. Fightingfan

A smartphone either an iPhone or an Android are way too small to use on the internet or for whatever else. I have an Iphone 3G for about 4 years now and since I haven't had cell service on it for about 3 years I have used to go on the internet, and I wanted something that was bigger but not too big and better than my Acer Iconia 7in Android tablet. So a "phone" just doesn't cut it for an everyday use item, but they are good to use every once in awhile to look something up in the internet.

The iPod/iPhone are way too small, and the Ipad 2/New iPad are way too big.

So the iPad mini is the perfect size.

Three reasons to buy the iPad mini over the Nexus 7, and it is a $129 more.

- overall better quality and support,

- better apps and way more of them,

- it will be around for years compared to becoming forgettable as time passes by like many other tablets have.

There you go.

WTH would I preorder the iPad mini?

The Nexus 7 is leaps better not to mention the fact that the upcoming Nexus 10 will mop the floor with it. My Asus Transformer Prime destroys it as well.

Better apps? More of them? You must be kidding or you must be the guy who hasn't accessed Google play yet. And if by bette apps, you meant jail breaking, then your point one gets irrelevant. With Jelly Bean, Roots, custom ROMs and countless tweaks, It surely cant get forgettable. Unless you upgrade it to Nexus 8!

No but perhaps in a few years when I need a new iPad, I will get an iPad mini. Hoping down the road it has a retina display.

Yes! I pre-ordered a white 16 GB one this morning. Ordered one of those smart covers as well. I've been planning on getting an iPad for a while now and I'm really glad I waited for the mini because the lower price makes me feel a lot better about my purchase and it seems like it will be a lot more portable for me. I can actually carry this around with me and play with it in wi-fi hotspots while I should be studying. It will be delivered on the 16th, but it's partially a gift so I'm waiting until Christmas to open it.

Wow. Looks like there's more positive reception on this than I thought.

Still, I think the Nexus 7 is the better option. Especially if the rumors are true of a revision coming out in the coming days.

No I could never spend that much on a tablet/laptop, although I might get a macbook(probably used or refurbished) one day for travel and keep my rig at home, they last MUCH longer than other laptops.

You DO realize that very few apple users feel compelled to jump on every single upgrade? I agree with you, those super fans that do need every new product their god Jobs sends from the heavens are f*cking morons, but its not everyone.

I had a Kindle Fire HD and it was okay, but it is really only good with Amazon Prime. So I returned it after having it for 3 weeks.

No, but will likely get the new Imac early next year.

Will be a huge leap over video editing on my Macbook, and it has a phnominal screen.

I miss the optical drives though.:(

Yeah, just like the thousands of nerds that brag about their adroids too right? At the end of the day its just a bunch of nerds arguing who's phone is better. Who cares....let fans be fans, and consumers be consumers. I own an iPhone 4S, and a macbook air and love both of them. It really ticks me off when people insult my intelligence just because I have apple products.
