the screen is fine... get over it
Nope, it's a pixelated mess with the contrast and color gamut of a cheap Chinese craplet.
Well, maybe not that bad but certainly below the Apple standard of previous displays.

I believe Apple has discovered something with the iPad mini. There's more to products than their specs.
Today I visited my local Apple Store and saw the iPad mini in person for the first time. Totally convinced me that I want one. Size is perfect. Screen looks great. Camera looks great. I forgot to try to keyboard, but with voice to text and Siri it might not matter.
Before I was relying solely on the "disappointing specs."
It was impressive. Apple will sell millions, no doubt.
Go see one yourself. You won't be disappointed.

Perfect analogy! It's like going from iPhone 4 back to iPhone 3G.
So the iPad 1 looks better than the mini?
While the analogy is a tad harsh, it's very, VERY difficult to go from a retina display to the mini - for SOME people. I happen to be one of those people. The mini's display is very, very dated, which is a shame.
Apple is clearly using the mini as a test for what's to come. A retina-display mini will be an insta-buy for me, at any "reasonable" price.
The sad part is that many people don't seem to care about screen quality. We saw that with android phones with the bigger lesser quality screens (though they're improving and should surpass the iphone in volume and quality next year). We see it now with the Mini.

The refrain seems to be "I don't care if the screen is crap, i can bring it everywhere and love the size of the Mini." Then there are the unwashed who think the screen is great and don't know any better. Ignorance is bliss? Even worse are the ones who know better but still can't seem to see the difference in quality. These are the ones who can't claim ignorance.
There's those who love the Surface RT (for whatever reason) seem oblivious to its crap screen.
I've seen a lot of people over the years with HDTVs but too cheap to pay for HD content or don't know any better. People with "retina" ipads but running low res content.
It's a stupid world in some ways.
I would love an iPad mini with A8 processor, retina display with 326 ppi and a 20 hour battery life but sadly ...

I disagree. It is highly relevant. There are some who are satisfied with what they have and others who aren't. It takes all kinds.That's cute but irrelevant.

At what point did he say that?
Saw it in person last week. Size and weight are fantastic.
But that screen. I can say, without any hyperbole whatsoever, reading on that screen is like trying to read through a 2-inch layer of Vaseline mixed with several pounds of builder's sand.
Sorry, spoiled by my iPad 3.
Will wait for retina model next year.
