Yeah i agree i love my ipad mini. I do think a retina display would be nice and a faster processor but the exterior design is far better than any other out there
Yes yes, and you should have been able to walk since the day you were born! Ignorance is bliss!
Its just right but...
Doesnt fit in the suit pocket (1 inch too big)
Black front and white back would be nice
What kind of security does it have built in when using wifi? I'd like more like the BB tablets have.

What are you talking about? iPads actually went down on price compare to previous models. Retina screen did not push the price up. So that's BS.
No offense, but if we had that mentality, we have no progress in technology what so ever. Things change and get better. The mini is not 'just right' as it is anymore. It may have been a year ago (and barely IMO), but not anymore.
But thing is for sure, even Apple doesn't update it for a 'long long time,' as you say, it'll still sell because of the brand and marketing.
That has to be one of the most ridiculous comments I have ever read on these forums!
If you lived in a cave and at the time knew nothing better and thought your cave was perfect would you wish to live in caves and never advance?
People whinge when Mac Rumours posts stuff which isn't rumours related to Mac stuff, and whinge when they post actual rumours. What do you expect from Mac Rumours?!
LOL not when the technology was already there (the iPad and iPhone). Yes, the iPad mini SHOULD have had the retina. There's no excuses not to have it.
Your analogy only would work with the iPad 1 and 2 when they no retina screen before. The mini came out AFTER the retina screen was introduced. So Apple knew how to "walk" but had the mini crawl instead. Hopefully it'll at least be a toddler with the next version cause the Nexus 7 is already learning to run!
There are many adult people out there, who want to use the device as an ebook reader, not as a gaming console.

The device was already outdated technology, when first shown to the public.
Can it really be considered "responding" when it was what they planned to do all along?
Non-Retina iPad Mini --> Retina iPad Mini seems pretty in line with their other devices..

Yeah, because the first iteration was laggy as hell.
What's the point?
What's the point having all the stupid analysts. They're just guessing. So can I.

Apple's next iPad mini will have a Retina display! No it won't!

Yes, the technology was there but not quite enough to get it on the size and the battery life the mini have. This is what you and so many others fail to realise. I think Apple was stuck in adding retina and compromising thicknes/battery life or having the latter without rettina. And that's what id decited to do. And to be quite honest the ordinary consumer won't even know the difference of retina/non retina. I have heard many times people asking this question on the Apple store when they are comparing iPad 4'th gen with mini.
Which one have retina Screen?
Lol
The new Nexus 7 battery life is apparently quite bad. This doesn't bode well for a retina iPad Mini this year. Analysts go back and forth - and they will until there is an Apple announcement. Seems to have no connection to reality.
I don't see it happening this year. The technology isn't yet ready yet for a retina iPad Mini as small as the current Mini and able to get decent battery life. Hopefully by the Spring.

I don't believe that - there are third parties who are selling budget devices for less money and who don't have access to the economies of scale that Google and Asus do.
