I have an iPad 3 currently and have found myself longing for a Mini w/ Retina after having some exposure to the current model.
If they release this larger iPad and the Mini 2 w/ Retina, I am in big trouble decision-wise. There is a lot of differentiation right now between 9.7 and 7.9. It sounds like this update will narrow the gaps significantly.
Hmm...

the iPad 5 will be the perfect upgrade from my iPad 2.
excited to know it will be narrower and thinner like the mini.
Previous rumors have also suggested that Apple would be able to use more efficient backlighting in the fifth-generation iPad, reducing the device's size both directly through eliminating one of the two backlight units and indirectly through allowing for a smaller battery.
I think the specs separation will help.. Currently, the mini has iPad 2 innards, making the 4th gen full size comparatively a power-house. If the retina mini uses specs close to the original retina iPad (3rd gen), then there will still be a significant processing differential.
The headline says 25%-33% lighter, but the article text says 25%-33% thinner, which one is it? They might be the same thing, but not necessarily.
I have 16GB devices and each have 125 apps on them, including 6 "graphics intensive games". (Eg. Real Racing 3, Injustice) plus many other games, as well as documents and data. I do use iTunes Match though to save space. In addition, there are many many graphically great games which are not huge in size (Eg. Crazy Taxi, Infinite Fight). Just my 2 cents worth...
"More efficient backlighting" is a band-aid approach. Eliminate backlighting completely in favor of OLED display. iWatch is a start.
He also said that it was magical how you could hold it either way and that there was no real difference in how it was held.
The moral of the story is that The Steve would say anything to rake in the bucks. Honestly - why would anybody believe a word he said after he claimed to be sterile? He wanted to save a few bucks, and so he allowed his illegitimate daughter to be raised on welfare.
That is despicable in my book.
But to be fair, he was a very effective corporate CEO. If you adulate capitalists, then he is a great one. He's right up there with John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie and Cornelius Vanderbilt. Nobody knew how to turn a buck like Steve Jobs.
"Obsession with thinner and lighter".
Yes, most people prefer their portable devices to be thinner and lighter. Apple should make a special version just for you, thicker and heavier.
