let me dream
Can't really answer the poll. I can clearly see the iPad mini doesn't have a retina display, but it doesn't bother me too much. The screen is better than the iPad 2 but not as good as the iPad 3/4 (no kidding, eh?).
Don't have a mini, but I do notice a difference between my iPad 2 screen and my wife's iPad 3 screen, although it doesn't bother me enough to upgrade my iPad yet
yeah i cant answer the poll either, i notice it, but its not enough to bother me.
i will also upgrade to retina as soon as its available (if it ever is)

Yes I notice it. Do I care? Not really. It does what I want in a much smaller package and at a lower price. I can live with that!
I had the ipad 1 and iphone 5 at the same time so I did not care that the ipad screen was not retina. I never had the ipad 3 or 4 so the mini is quite the upgrade from the ipad 1!

Notice? Without a doubt
Willing to live without the high res screen? No, not at this price.
Because I use my for longer hours, the screen size and retina screen influence my choice. For a light e-reader and basic web browsing experience, mini would be good here. I have a phone with a 5.5in screen so it fills that niche for me. Do I notice non retina when using one? Yep but if I'm immersed in something the screen quality becomes less an issue and things like ergonomics and size become more an issue
