Hey guys, I've been lurking for quite some time now and I finally decided to register to ask for everyone's opinion on the iPad mini.
I currently have one and I opted for it over a refurbished iPad 3 on Apples website just because of the size initially. After having about a week to use the device I must say I love this damn thing. Typing on it is a joy and the screen doesn't seem all too bad for me. I do own a iPhone 5 so I am familiar with the Retina display. It's nice to have and all but it doesn't really bother me when I switch from my phone to the tablet. The iPad mini just feels right in the hands and I really haven't had any problems with it so far. From Jon Rettinger's first impressions on his TechnoBuffalo YouTube channel, I do agree with him when he says "it just makes you want to read a book on it as opposed to an ereader."
I just wanted to share my experience with the device just in case anyone was on the fence about purchasing one. If you have a chance make sure to try it out in store. Tell me what you like, what you don't like. I'm curious to see others' opinions about the device.
