There's been a lot of criticism leveled at the cost of the iPad Mini, (somewhat justified given its lower-res screen than its competitors) but now we know where that extra cost comes into play, I think....
they could have add Retnia display and made a lot of folks happy but they didnt. We all know that the next upgrade will have a retnia display, I guess this might turn a lot of folks off from buying this when they know in about 6-12 months they will have that.
I preordered a mini and spent the day with it yesterday... it went back today. I loved the size, I loved the weight, I just don't get why they didn't put the retina display in it like all their newest offerings. It would have been brilliant. There's always next year's update, i guess. On an audio note, I don't know what DAC it uses or anything about it's internals, but it was the best sounding i-device I've heard to date. It was crystal clear and punchy (using the Apple DDIEMS and a pair of HD650).
True, didn't say it was bad, ios is stable and reliable. How are you liking your ipad mini?
Is it worth selling the ipad 2 for the mini?
Yes.
Apple is losing market share in tablets.
