I agree. Was playing Bastion on my mini and it sounded great. In the beginning it said it recommended earphones, but that was probably due to the previous iPads have mono speaker.
 
It's about time Apple, the owner of the largest music store on the planet, has upgraded their speakers. Heck, I even noticed playing on my Nintendo DS (a $150 handheld gaming device that was released in 2004), that it sounded better than my iPad 3.

Fingers crossed that it doesn't stop at the mini and becomes a normal thing for future generation devices.
