So... are you planning on saying what it is or is it a secret because I'm genuinely curious on why someone would prefer sending stereo audio downward rather than side or front speakers that actually send the audio to the listener.There is plenty of audible content that doesn't require a moving picture to accompany it.

How did cnet and the Verge not notice this? cnet gave mini editors choice rating and the Verge rated it the same as the Air - 9.3/10.
When the iPad 2 and the first mini were released did people complain about color gamut and washed out screens? I have family and friends who own the first mini and never once have they complained about the screen being washed out.
I have the nexus 7 and the color is washed out on it just like the mini when compared to my Air.
the newest nexus 7? Take a look at this video and tell me you don't see the difference. Go to around 4 minutes.
It's anything from streaming music to talk shows to podcasts to books. I'm not sure why the specifics matter though. With the speakers where they are, I get some stereo effect in portrait orientation. Stereo doesn't work when the speakers are positioned vertically on top of one another.

I had the air and due to all the hype about the mini returned it and waited and got the mini last night. The mini is a great device but I just can't get past the lack of color in the screen compared to the air. Im into photography so color is important to me. Someone on here described looking at websites like Macrumors as if you were looking at the text with saran wrap on the screen. Thats the feeling I get too. Just a bit washed out.
Also the mini I have failed the image retention test. Not sure what that means in real life use, but it sounds like I got the Sharp display that Apple was trying to avoid.
Its too bad we have to play the screen lottery with these products. I know some people do not care about the screen quality and will just say "live with it" but when I pay this much for a product I want the better screen. Hope I don't have to play the lottery with the Air or I will keep Exchanging it.
Is anyone reconsidering getting the Air over the Mini due to screen issues?
My rMini also failed the image retention test. And I have an Air with a pretty good screen. So the rMini is going back. I may try again in few months but the washed out colours is a deal breaker for me.
