I love the huge size of the current Ipad. The idea of a mini is nice an I'm sure tons of people will love it, but for me, and what I use it for, I down right wouldn't want a different size ever. I love how huge it is compared to some of the little tablets.
The games are amazing on the giant screen as well.
It's hard to beat for me.

Same here.
 
Couldn't agree more. If you have the iPhone and the iPad I don't really see where the iPad mini sits. I see it as more of a compromise device. Too small for some things, but too big for others.
 
iPad Mini: I see it fit my needs for the following reasons...

1. Easier to carry around in a large coat pocket

2. Less costly than the full size version.

3. Good size for GPS navigation that one can find a cradle for traveling, and not too large to get in the way.

4. If it has a good camera, I would be more inclined to use it over a larger iPad, but not a selling point, just nice to have.

5. In my opinion it will be better for reading books.

I don't ever play games on a tablet (Got the Xbox/computer for that).

The bolded part, I mainly use my iPad for reading now and as of recently my Nexus 7 with kindle app is now my go to reading tablet. If they make iBooks amazing I would be willing to buy an iPad mini if not I am probably going to get a kindle paperwhite.
