I want the device to put in my car as head unit. control apps movies and gps. I could care less about retina... It's a great mobile piece for a car. just like the mini changed the home entertainment game. Ipad will do the same...
I'm thinking of doing the same.
How is your screen quality?
I've heard there are issues with the iPad 4's screen bleeding and also something about video. This is kind of holding me back since the screen on my 3 is perfect.
I would love to discuss any known issues with the Apple employee, but they also play dumb.
does the retina display make that much of a difference for you guys?

Ah yes, but what will you do if there is no Spring 2013 refresh?
Cheers,
It's great you got an iPad 4, but why be a complete condescending douche about the iPad Mini?
Laughable? - That statement actually makes me laugh. I have a Retina MBP 15, a 4S and an iPad 3. The mini screen is obviously not Retina, but my first impression was what the hell is wrong with people? How insecure are you about preference that you must pound specs into your own head to justify a purchase? The screen is completely adequate - not amazing - but functional. At no point did I think it would be useless.
As for future proofing...it's an Apple product. The mini will work, and work well for 2-3 years - I will no doubt upgrade by then because I can afford 300-500 every 2 years for a device I'll use daily. If you dont want to upgrade every few years, a tablet probably isn't a device for you...Hell even tech in general is something you should avoid. The days of owning products for 5-6 years is sadly coming to an end.
In response to speed and the A5 - it is now the most popular/used apple chip. If you think apps will not be optimized with the largest user demographic in mind, you are sorely mistaken. Someday the A6/A6X will be King, until then, you live in a world of the A5 (you will still get way better performance).
I am 0 for 3 with light bleed. I'm not sure if I should keep trying or not. I didn't have to go out of my way to see it. It was obvious on the start up screen. It was on the left side of all of them and one had it on the bottom also.
My iPad 4 is completely perfect. No blacklight bleed and no dead pixels. After reading all the horror stories on here, I guess I'm lucky? Then again, that is what..like hundred people out of hundreds of thousands happy customers? I feel that is a pretty good ratio.
