Maybe the new iPads will be released soon. Of course my mini will be here tomorrow...lol
i heard that walmart is selling an ipad mini for $299 right now and Apple Store will price match it. if there's a way for you to return it you might as well do it and refuse the delivery (if it's being shipped).
