iPad mini Who are pre-ordering or buying the mini iPad as gifts?

Going to buy one for myself

Looking to buy 2 small profile tablets for both my kids this Christmas...if the price is right, I will go with mini Ipad...but if the price is way off base (I am willing to pay a bit the "Apple surcharge" to a point, but the "leaked" price don't look too good), then I'll go with Nexus 7...

I will be hard pressed to buy anything with only 8 GB...and a 16 GB Mini iPad for $349 is just too damn much...once it breaks the $300 threshold it's pretty much a not starter...

I like the larger tablets. I will wait and check out the mini when launched.

Mini WiFi for my mother's 70th birthday (she finds her iPad 2 too cumbersome). Mini with cellular for my treat to myself .

Mini for my little sister. Xmas.

But may get returned unopened, not happy with specs. Well see when I get a chance to see first hand. Size is good, but sounds like a 3rd rate sub standard product unfit for gifting compared to a retina iPhone 4 from 2 generations back.

Keeping my iPad3

I got 1 coming for my aunt for Christmas. She wanted a kindle fire cause she has a reg kindle but I told her the kindle software is terrible and the iPad can use all the services the kindle can use plus more it can't.

Must be nice to be able to afford to spend that much on one gift.

Its a gift to myself since I don't need it but have to have it. If its a gift... how can I refuse it. I wouldn't want to be rude.
