iPad Mini retina will outpace iPad Air.![]()
Would really doubt that. Nothing to do with how popular the two devices are but I'd be amazed if the Mini had the same availability as the Air at launch. Can't outpace the Air if there aren't enough to buy...

Why do you think it will be underclocked?I bet iPad Mini w/Retina Display will see a much higher adoption rate.
It is the biggest upgrade for an iPad in 2 direct iteration. It's going from totally sucks (A5) to incredibly fast (A7) in just one year.
But yeah I think the A7 on Mini will be slightly underclocked compared to the one in iPad Air. Plus the Mini also has much smaller battery meaning the Air wins endurance contest.
To me those things alone worth the extra $100. But of course I love bigger screen and weight reduction is awesome too.
Tough choices between the two, nonetheless.
Tim Cooke wants to know where to send the check?
I couldn't justify purchasing an iPad Air to replace my iPad 3 given that functionally it doesn't do anything more for my purposes. However once I actually held an air, I couldn't resist.

Really, someone named Tim Cooke is going to send people checks? Cool.

I bet it won't considering it's pretty much a fact that supply of the 7.9" displays will be severely constrained.

Because of the battery. I bet is going to be the same as the 5S for the mini.
Had a look at one today, and was not as excited as I hoped I would be.
Firstly it didn't feel that much lighter compared to my iPad 2.
Secondly it still ran warm, which is a put off.
As my iPad 2 has always run cool.
I'm wondering if they take into account all the returned iPad Airs when doing their statistics.

Of course it has better adoption rate than the iPad 4. That thing came out about half year after the iPad 3.
Personally waiting for the Retina Mini. Went to check out the iPad Air and wasn't impressed with the weight enough to change my mind from the Mini. Yes it's lighter than my iPad 2 that I sold couple weeks ago but it still feels like someone just ripped a small notebook screen off and started using it as a tablet, just slightly too big. I think I've just gotten really comfortable with using the girlfriends Mini over the last few weeks.
Mini to me just feels right, sort of like how a 13" MacBook is the sweet spot for me compared to the Air feeling like a 15" MacBook.
I held an iPad Air for the first time today in a Telstra store and immediately any doubts I had about the product vanished. It was super smooth using it, incredibly light and my hand didn't get sore holding it. It was sitting beside some Android-based tablets. I put the iPad Air down and started using one and audibly laughed at how clunky, slow and unnatural it felt in comparison.
