It's the same resolution
It's the same resolution 1024x768, only smaller. Nothing to juggle.

Personally, I am the opposite. I don't understand why people want something as big as an iPad. It's heavy, uncomfortable and just too big to be used in one hand comfortably. The screen real estate is nice, but not necessary with a well designed app. Give me an iPad that is half the size and 1/4 the weight and I'll be interested.
I gave the Nexus 7 a shot and returned it.
Bring on the iPad Mini. At least I can use it in landscape, unlike the Nexus 7. Oh, and it doesn't have me signed into Google Chat at all times either. Not to mention the frustrating app selection. The screen is bigger on the iPad Mini too.
New iPad is so much better than this mini. I can see why apple would want to soak up as much cash as they can from customers though. I like the size of the ipad as it is now. Like the new nano, the ipad mini is just a waste. Small stuff thrown in for peeps that dont want or have the cash for the better stuff.
This is bigger than a Nexus 7 and Citrix desktop isn't a consideration for many. For the right price, I think there are a lot of people who would pay for a smaller iPad.
So, no leaked parts but this is expected next month. I don't think so, this is just some crap made up on an desktop CNC machine it doesn't even look a credible design.
i have iPad 1. Plan to buy iPad mini as I am not going to buy the new iPad 3rd gen
For a tablet, yes. You don't tend to hold tablets up to your ear.
In fact I bet that will be a strong selling point Apple will make, given it's not something you can do with the iPad.
I have an original iPad, but if this comes out with LTE I'm asking for one for Christmas. I'd love to have something bigger than my iPhone for travel.
If it's not LTE... I'll plan on picking up a 16gb one when they are refreshed in the spring.

I am thinking about getting one for my kids. There are a lot of great educational programs on the app store.

I think that's reasonable.
The two most likely scenariso I see are (for lower end, obviously there will be higher storage):
16GB for $299
or
8GB/16GB being $249/$349.
The first scenario could include a 8GB for $199 or $249 if Apple wanted to be really aggressive on pricing, but I'm not so sure they would.
While evidence seems to support this, I still have a hard time with this idea. Apple has been hyping retina screens on everything and with the latest release, they now have no current non-retina handhelds aside from the iPad 2 (unless you count the Nano). I can't see how they would release an iPad mini without a retina screen, especially when both the new Kindle Fire and Nexus have HiDPI screens. Why would Apple release a tablet that is bigger than the Nexus with a lower resolution than it? I think it's more likely that the iPad Mini will replace the iPad 2 at the $399 price point (or maybe $349) and will have a retina screen in a new resolution. Apple has never been one to release inferior products because it will be easier for app developers.
Cheaper? You already know the price of the iPad mini? Please give me more details, almighty future-time-traveler...
Around 1:54 he says he "obviously has no idea what that's meant to be" referring to the rear-facing camera. Uhm, maybe it's for taking pictures, recording video, and the reverse angle on Facetime?
Or am I obviously missing something too?
