It's nice but not compelling. All the reviews say the speed is great but no games exist that take advantage of it. The weight and styling is the same. The new connector didn't make it any lighter or smaller and makes it hard to use current accessories. The mini has stereo speakers and the 4 does not? - what's with that? I sold my 3 and considered the 4 but am buying the mini. Now the iPad 5 for next year promises to be very interesting. I expect a design refresh. My take is if you can just wait for the 5.
