Really an almost 8" ipad.. do we really need that when the normal one is 10" I guess its better then 7" as that's only 3" from a normal smart phone.

Does the same stuff too. iPad isn't meant as a travel device. the 8" isn't either.

I have an iPad. I took it on vacation out to SDG and Comic Con.
It was great for having at the hotel, airport and at my friends house.
It was not so great for sight seeing, taking around and actually at Comic Con. Just too bulky for on the go and you need a backpack or case for it. The mini would fit in your cargo pants pocket or a womans purse, etc.
The whole time, I actually was like 'man...I hope they come out with that mini-ipad' because it would be great for things like I just did.
There is a market for it. Really.
