You're hilarious.
It will take Amazon almost 20 years at their current profit rate to make the profit that Apple makes in just 1 quarter.
Amazon doesn't make any money, especially off of their devices, devices that, other than the eInk Kindle, don't sell. And don't give me the millions and millions of Kindle Fires sold BS. They sold well for 2 months then sales crashed. Nobody needs them or uses them.
iPad has 91% of all tablet internet traffic worldwide.

I'm too lazy to send you the link to the Rolling Stones jolly rendition of "Oh No Not You Again" but it's a tempting thought.
We have already seen several iterations of why you think what you think about the mini iPad. So don't get one. Many of the rest of us would like one, and will get one, and use it for whatever we think works well on that size tablet. I'm willing to let Tim Cook deal with the results of this rollout.
Why clutter my brain with wondering whether some CEO made the right decision today? I'd rather focus on making sure I get my own stuff sorted. If I elect to use two different size tablets in that process, bully for me and not bad for Cook either, eh?
And just for Mr. Cook's further edification: the market will likely support nano and monster iPads as well.Now I too have repeated myself, to square things up with Sven.
Have fun with your passive matrix Mini display.

You guys do realize Steve was known to make comments that were in the best interests of Apple's(& not always the consumer) pipeline of product releases & updates. Any smart CEO would...
And, by the way, some of Apple's products are 4 years into production, so I wouldn't doubt Steve knew some of the specs incorporated into the mini.
And, I'll say this... Steve knew a iPad mini was needed eventually, he just had to showcase the iPad first to magnify the tablet market he pioneered. This is all Steve still in my opinion, and I would say we won't see the last of Steve's creations till 2015-2016 rolls around. The last thing he did want to do, was make a TV remind you... or should I say, change the TV.
When that happens, I know Apple & Tim Cook will have made Steve proud.
Yes yes, we all know this. Disinformation machine. Confusion... etc. We know we know we know.
No, the Mini is not Steve. The Mini was simply 1 of 126 tablet prototypes Steve and Jony worked with. Just like the current Apple TV UI was a prototype design Steve trashed 5 years ago.
Steve is long dead and the inmates are now running the asylum.

You are welcome to restated this opinion in six months to let use know how it turned out.
Thanks again.
Hello MrMoore thanks for chiming in. Nobody cares what you think. Anybody is free to create an account and post here. Nobody needs your permission. And no I didn't just create an account here to talk about the Mini.
For anyone who wants to derail threads and make personal attacks, I have been reporting every single one of those posts, so keep it up if you want it won't get you anywhere.

No Retina display no way. You'll see.
