Got it today in exchange for my Nexus 7 16gb version. I went in to exchange for the 32gb Nexus 7 and saw the iPad mini instead and got that. I got the black 16gb iPad mini.

First impressions is that it is indeed a little fat like what the reviews said. I can hold it with my thumb and two fingers and the rest sitting on the back. It's comfortable to hold IMO. The Nexus 7 is more natural to hold and the display is more crisp on the Nexus but the Mini's not bad.

edit - here's proof!

edit 2 - I'm at school so I can't post any pics up. Will do when I get home in a couple hours.

edit - ok finally back home from school. To the haters, go eat a ****...And yes, I only had my iPad mini to take a picture.

Might want to look up the "accountability matrix" on the WIRE. The sale of a restricted item is a terminable offense.

So much win!!!!!:eek::D
 
So I guess now some guy making minimum wage at Wal-Mart is going to get fired and maybe Apple will re-think letting Wal-Mart in on opening day sales.

Congrats to the OP if you really got this. But next time don't throw the guys who helped you under the bus. Posting the receipt with all that detail has exposed them and Apple doesn't take kindly to that.

OP cant win. called a troll cause there is no picture, now called names saying he is gonna ruin apple in walmart because he showed a picture.
 
wait, noone did the ultimate im still sceptical post.

go into notepad and write this

"You all thought i was a troll, but i proved you wrong, so go suck a big fatty!!" and then post a pic of it.

lol. either way, congrats OP. Looks like a good size.
 
Congrats OP!

I've thoroughly enjoyed reading the older comments, and see you make them look stupid.

The screen text isn't as crisp as the Nexus 7. The Mini has the same resolution as the iPad 2 so they look the same. My previous histories of owning a tablet are: iPad 2, iPad 3, and recently the Nexus 7. I'd put the iPad 3 first, Nexus, then the iPad 2 so the Mini is behind the iPad3(and 4 obviously) and the Nexus. I haven't had a lot of time playing with it yet but it's very light, the slate color is gorgeous, I concur with what reviewers said about the screen being kind of like a shorter iPad or taller ipod touch but it's not bad at all.
 
So after seeing the pictures, it seems like the iPad Mini comes with the 5W instead of a 12W power adapter?

Loving the fact that I can use the same adapter to charge my iphone and ipad. Now I'll have a work adapter and a home adapter!
 
Oh, I just LOVE! that the OP made all these people eat crow. Too many blood-thirsty people on here, always ready and eager for a public lynching. It's like the Salem Witch Trials in here, at times.
 
I hope the sales person didn't know it was early, because if they were doing you a favor by selling it to you early, repaying them by posting this is......shall I say, a lousy thank you. Of course all the children here with under developed social standards will disagree.

I liked it better when it was fake.
