I wish MacRumors had a roundup for the iPad 5 specs..
What are we thinking?

Same A7 chip, but running a bit higher?
Same 1gb of ram, but perhaps 2gb ram?
Perhaps Touch ID?

Seems like details are scarce.

Tim is doing a good job!

2" difference separates true portability vs. carrying it around by hand! Also, it will weigh less too! iPad Mini will be just the ticket to take it anywhere as oppose to the iPad5 which is more of a bring it from the car and use it at a coffee shop and place it back in the car. Mini you can take it with you all day long! Size and weigh not a problem. Plus, you can easily use it lying down in bed. You cannot do that with a 9.7" size table! I had both and the full size iPad is just too big!

Good points. I have the iPad 3 and my girlfriend has a mini. Mine feels like its twice as big and four times as heavy! I will be upgrading, I just don't know if the mini has enough screen real estate for me. I've got about a month to decide, probably!

Is there any chance of a Smart Cover for the iPad 5. Really hope so. I hope it is not like the iPad Mini where it only got the cover.

Surely, it looks no more ridiculous to hold an LED flashlight in your hand alongside the iPad when taking a picture, right? I mean, if you're gonna go all awkward and clunky, why not jump in all the way?

I realize I'm a little late to respond, but...

Not sure if you are being serious here? If you are... For one I don't now many people who carry a thing like that. Also, it would be really hard to operate an led flashlight and take a picture on an iPad at the same time. An led flashlight would have virtually zero benefits for taking pics on an iPad.

Forgive me if my sarcasm sensors are a bit off.
