I have been an Apple guy for many years. I held off buying an ipad until last month, when the 4th generation regular size ipad was announced......(the same day as the ipad mini was announced).
My friend who owns a 3rd generation ipad, a kindle fire, etc bought the ipad mini the same day I ordered the new ipad.
My initial thinking was I wanted the larger one. I got it, used it for a week or so.........but once I got my hands on my friend's ipad mini, I no longer liked my new "bigger" ipad. It was heavy. Large. Etc.
I loved my friend's ipad mini. It was everything the large ipad was not. I know it does not have the retina display, but I found that was a non issue....the mini looked great, was thin, light, the perfect size. Where I thought it would be too small, I was wrong.
I have not bought the mini yet, but strangely after owning the regular size ipad and returning it, I'm more at home using my iphone for now and will probably buy the mini in the foreseeable future. Like most Apple products, you do not know until it is IN YOUR HANDS......
