The iPad Mini is here guys. But I really don't think you will like it. It's not even a 7 incher that you can carry around in one hand. iPad Mini has 7.9 inch screen which is really not that easy to use single handed. We had expected it to be a good competitor of Asus Google Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD but looks like we are wrong. It doesn't even have quad-core CPU have Nexus 7 has. Honestly, we can't compare iPad Mini with other budget 7 inch tablet as it's initial offering is 329$ for 16GB model which is quite expensive.
You can expect it to have all the limitation that other Apple products have. It has no micro-sd card expansion slot. You should be still dependent upon iTunes to transfer datas,songs, videos and everything else. It's steep pricing is what has disappointed us the most. Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD although have similar specification are less expensive and deliver almost the same experience. It sure has a 5MP iSight camera but who really cares about a back facing Camera in a tablet. This device is really not worth it. It would had been much better if the price would be low with no back facing camera. If you really want a big screen why not get a 10 inch tablet then? iPad Mini doesn't really doesn't really fulfill it's sole purpose. If you are looking at the budget, there are a lot of 10 inch tablets which are widely available for iPad Mini's price range. The price of iPad Mini can go up to 659$ for 64GB cellular version which is way too expensive.
The iPad Mini has specifications similar to that of iPad 2. It really has nothing revolutionary. There is no retina display and the pixel density is quite low(162 ppi). It is quite low for today's standard. For instance both Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD sport pixel density of 216 making the display crisp and very sharp. Not only the processor, even iPad Mini has limited RAM (512MB) which its rivals have 1GB of RAM. We can also fear about incompatibility issues with new applications and software updates as iPad Mini uses last years technology.
